We have been supplying professional tradesmen worldwide for two decades, aswell as hobbyists and those interested in learning this unique trade.

Our standard tuckpointing tools are available in 2 standard lengths; 75mm and 125mm. And also 2 common thicknesses: 4mm and 6mm, but we also stock and supply tools which are 8mm, 10mm and 12mm thick.

We also manufacture a shorter tool which we call a "stubnose" tool (as shown below) which has a blade length of only 30mm long so it can be used for tuckpointing around restricted areas such as window sills etc.

 
 

We also manufacture frenchmen knives and double frenchmen knives.

We have an improved sharpening process for all our frenchmen knives so that the cutting edges are sharper and bent at a 90 degree tip angle. A demonstration of our improved frenchmen knife can be seen cutting this modelling clay shown below:

 
   

 

These pictures show our double frenchmen knife, in closed and open position. It can cut top and bottom lime putty left over watse in one go.

We also sell Ready-Mix Tuckpointing Lime Putty! Just open lid and use straight away no fuss.

Available in 4 Litre & 10 Litre re-sealable buckets, for long shelf life.

Just open, drain out thin top sealant layer of water and then stir putty. Then use as required. No mess and will save you alot time and effort. You don't have to use all in one go. As long as you add a small amount of water afterwards to cover over the top of the lime putty to prevent it from drying out in the atmosphere and then re-seal the lid tightly, it is possible to store the product for a long time and re-use when required.

Comes in standard white natural lime colour. If you desire a colour then you are welcome to add pigment to the putty according to your requirement.

Delivery Australia wide.

FOR ALL ORDERS: (local and International)

Please email us at and please send us:

1- Your full name

3-Description of what tools you require and quantity. You can list individual item product codes above, or simply explain what you want in an email to us.

(contact phone numbers optional but good for tracking deliveries to you)

We will then reply with an invoice for total price including delivery. We prefer to recieve order emails sent from our customers as it prevents us from mispelling or making a mistake writing down email addresses over the phone which prevents us from contacting you.

Payment: We accept cash, cheque, electronic bank transfer, international money transfers via bank branches and also payments via PayPal via www.paypal.com. We do not accept credit card transactions at the moment, but are looking hard into setting up a credit card facility in the near future to make purchasing easier for our customers

International customers are recommended to use "PayPal" as it is safe and easy to use and automatically converts currency making it our most convenient choice. How paypal payments works, is that we will firstly send you an invoice to your email address for your tax purposes and then also email you separately a "Request for Payment" via the Paypal website. You just have to follow the Paypal links and sign up (which is totally free!) by simply giving an email address and making up a password of your choice. Then you follow easy instructions and can fill in your credit card/bank details and then make a payment for the tools online. Paypal is safe and secure and third parties dont get access to your your bank details.

So if you would like to purchase any of our products please either call us or email us preferably and we can give you instructions depending on what you request.
