A beautiful shop in beautiful Dorchester. 

Like Eden planted between the Tigris and Euphrates (but tucked up an alleyway between South Street and Trinity Street) this is something that we can only describe as paradise.

Stacked with vintage tools for all tasks and tastes, rare, collectible, useful and economical. Old tools for the hobbyist or professional. We have lots of good quality gorgeous tools from an era when they were built to last, to give long, accurate and delightful service.

The Vintage Tool Shop is a haven for the fine tool collector or avid crafts-person alike.  We find, restore and sell, both online & in our beautiful physical store, a huge variety of quality used tools from all trades and crafts, from woodworkers to luthiers, leather-work to engineers of all stripes we may well have just the tool for you.

We are always looking to add to our stock, if you have any duplicates or tools you no longer need get in touch and we will happily make you an offer. Whether vintage or just used we are interested in almost any tool that could find a home with another maker, nothing with a plug or plastic though please, we have an affinity for quiet.
