Returns & Refunds

The window

You may return most items within 30 days of delivery for a refund, provided they are unused and in their original packaging with any blade guards, caps and inserts present.

"Unused" means what it says. A chisel that has been honed, a stone that has been wetted or a saw that has cut wood cannot go back into stock as new, and we cannot resell it as new.

What cannot be returned

Unless the item is faulty, we cannot accept returns on:

• Sharpening stones that have been wetted. A soaked stone cannot be verified as unused.
• Abrasives with an opened pack. Discs and rolls are sold sealed.
• Saw blades removed from their sleeve. Impulse-hardened teeth are damaged by handling.
• Edge tools that have been sharpened, honed or reground.
• Special-order items brought in specifically for you, where the maker will not take them back. This is flagged at checkout before you commit.

None of this limits your rights if the goods are faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose.

Refunds

Refunds go back to the card or account used for the original payment. We do not refund to a different card. Once we release the refund it typically appears within three to five business days, depending on your bank.

If your original order qualified for free shipping and returning an item takes the remaining order below the threshold, the original shipping cost is deducted from the refund.

Exchanges

We do not process exchanges as a single transaction. Return the item for a refund and place a new order. This is faster, and it means the replacement is not held up waiting for the return to arrive. If the replacement is urgent, tell us and we will dispatch it before the return reaches us on approved accounts.

Faulty goods

A manufacturing fault is covered by the warranty regardless of the 30-day window. Contact us with photographs and we handle the claim with the maker directly.
