Simon James

Simon James redefines traditional workholding with beautifully crafted, British-made tools built for the serious hand-tool woodworker. At the heart of the range are his signature bench holdfasts, forged to grip workpieces with a single mallet blow, delivering rock-solid holding power across the full surface of your workbench.

Beyond holdfasts, the Simon's work includes carefully considered accessories designed to complement dog holes, vises and traditional workbench setups, making it easier than ever to secure awkward stock and odd-shaped components for chiselling, planing and joinery work.

Exceptional workholding, forged with purpose.
