Old Tools Background

Oldtools.co.uk is a family run company recently developed by Matthew Francis. Matt trained as a carpenter, following in the footsteps of his father, before deciding to try his hand at computing. Matt soon found that his fathers passion and enthusiasm for his trade and more especially old woodworking tools had passed onto him. The history went beyond this: one of Matts grandfathers was in engineering and the other had his origins in farming. This has led to some interesting finds in their sheds, some of which are on the oldtools.co.uk website.

Old Tools Team

The Old Tools team consists of an experienced working party of experts in Carpentry, Woodworking Tools, Retail, Marketing and IT. Members of the Old Tools staff spend many hours trawling UK auctions and antique fairs in search of quality, highly desired old wood working tools so that you don’t have to. The Old Tools team recognised early on that there are only a limited number of places to obtain antique wood working tools, that most people don’t want to spend their weekends traipsing about their local area in hope that they might find what they are looking for, and that the Internet allows collectors to obtain the exact old tool collectables that they desire. The Old Tools online shop combines these factors to create a cost effective, quick and easy to use shopping experience.

Our helpful team of experts are available to answer any questions or queries you may have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via email or they are available 10am-5pm Monday-Friday by telephone.
