Some of the tools we find useful.


These are a selection of the tools we have found useful when working on site on handrail, restoration work is a different beast to making and fitting new handrail components, some of these you will already be familiar with, others maybe not so.

Even if you know the tool there may be tricks and tips to use therse tools in a slightly different manner to achieve a result you would not expect.

We will look at both power and non powered tools, from cabinet scrapers to linear sanders.
