JTA History and Reviews

Japanese Tools Australia was founded in 2009 by furniture maker Christian Timbs. Christian's experience training and working in England, Tasmania and Japan made him well acquainted with the virtues and traditions of Japanese tools. Initially Christian offered Australian woodworkers a small selection of Japanese saws, sharpening stones and chisels from his workshop in southern Sydney.

Japanese Tools Australia has since expanded with a knowledgeable team and stock more than 1000 unique, hand chosen products to be used by professionals and hobbyists in the pursuit of their creative vision, with more constantly being selected.

JTA stands behind the quality of every one of our products and know that we offer our customers the best woodworking tools possible, whether their application be for students, enthusiasts or tradespeople. Centuries of tradition and experience lay behind Japanese toolmaking and woodworking culture, and we are proud to bring these stories to Australia and the world.

Highly recommended to everyone

I bought this smoothing plane with the other 48mm one, used them straight away, so far so good, the quality is excellent, highly recommended to anyone who needs the smoothing plane.
And the customer service is super helpful and professional.
The best customer service I ever had!

Its the best compact square.

Its the best compact square and now it has a belt attachment loop which makes it super portable. This now lives permanently in my tool belt. A must have for all trades.

In love with a sickle

My Japanese gardening sickle is my constant companion in the garden. Have given many to friends, who all exclaim at the ease of use and effectiveness of this tool.

10.5 mm drill bit

Super sharp and perfect for my job. Will be buying more

Great service. Lovely gift wrapping

Toyo cantilever toolbox GL-350 Blue

Very well made compact steel toolbox. Opens out into 3 storage areas to display tools so that they can be quite easily seen to be taken out and used. Previously, for 35 years I used a tool box with 1 storage area often necessitating taking many tools out to locate a tool at the bottom of the box. The cantilever mechanism is as good as they can be.

The saw cuts quickly and true, allowing for easy final sizing via a shooting board,

Shinwa 7m FIT GEAR Tape

Excellent tape measure. The compact size and the light weight make it a joy to use. And measure everything I did!

Great little hmer

Good balance and perfect for cooper forming, handle fits the hand perfectly and shape gives good control.

Essential tool

Using a pencil works, but cutting gets you truly clean mortices. This one is sharp, durable and pretty great value. I haven't tried sharpening it yet as I haven't needed to. I'm left-handed and really appreciated that it comes in left/right versions.
