At handworks today I was looking at the plane adjusting hammers. They feel so good in your hand and have great balance. Just a beautiful tool. I was checking the door prize list and lo and behold I saw that I had won a door prize from Sterling tool works. Prize was to be determined. As I made a beeline to their table, I was thinking, it would be awesome to win that plane adjusting hammer. As God would have it, that was the door prize! Needless to say , I was ecstatic. I thanked Chris again and again. They are great folks and they make top notch tools. If you’re thinking of buying something, go ahead. You will not be disappointed.
So happy for you John! Thank you for your kind words, enjoy the Plane Hammer! #handworks2023
Received my DTR-1 rule early (that was nice) and it fits my PEC Double Square body – slides easily and clamps fine.
I have purchased a few items from Chris/Sterling in the past.
The Saddle-Tail DT markers are precision made and a joy to work with.
I am partial to the 1:6.
I also purchased a DTR-2 that did not work with my JCS head – (not Starrett; another brand) as the thickness of the ruler blade is ~0.0935″. The issue was with the other company providing incorrect dimensions. The DTR-2 was too loose being 0.0640″ in thickness.
Chris had graciously exchanged my original item thereby fixing the problem.
His help, and Customer Service is second to none! Thank You!
I recently purchased a couple Saddle-Tails and Dovetail square. They arrived and I was very impressed with the quality. I used them and even more impressed. The delivery time from order to receipt of product was very reasonable given the quality of the products. I will look for more opportunities to support Sterling Tool Works. I like to support the many smaller tool makers out there. I hope others will do the same!!!
Many Thanks for great products.
I dropped my 6″ double-sided square on concrete and it fell it in such a way that broke part of the pin assembly that fits the groove in the ruler. Chris sent me a replacement pin very quickly. Great customer service and support of a great product!
Thanks again,

Great to discover you!!! I collect hammers and love yours, made a lot of Krenov planes with Hock blades and have several Japanese dai with plane irons I have fitted to them.
Looking forward to using your hammer on both.

Hi Chris,
I just received my French Curve set today (07/31/15) and I am most pleased with them. They are very substantially constructed and the edges are all chamfered and smooth. They will be a joy to use. I like especially like the matte finish on them which eliminates glare from the tool while marking. Another winner from Sterling Tools.
Thanks,

I saw the dovetail rule on Chris Schwarz’ blog. Do you ship to Australia and if so how much would shipping be? (The exchange rate is pretty much rubbish at the moment but I still reckon it will be worth it so long as the shipping is not too much.)
John,
I have enabled people overseas to purchase Sterling Tool Works Products, after purchase I will then get a custom shipping quote. Thank you for your interest!
Do you still carry the router plane wallet?
Thanks
Joe
Joe,
The Router Plane Wallets are coming! Jason and I apologize for the delay in getting these completed, there is only so much small shops can Handle. I expect them to be on my purchase page later this month!
Thank you,
Chris
Hello,
I’m interested in ordering a Saddle-Tail whenever they become available. If you could let me know approximately when and how much. I saw it at WIA and was very impressed.
Thanks
Neal
Yes! I would like to purchase the Saddle-Tail (1:4). Saw Megan Fitzpatrick at WIA use one.
