Why stainless steel

- Easy cleaning: autoclave-friendly for surgical and veterinary ranges; dishwasher-safe for kitchen-lab crossover
- Long life: pitting and corrosion won't take a tool out of service after a damp winter
- Anti-acid crossover: many stainless tweezers also carry anti-acid rating for pickle-pot use in jewellery

Frequently asked questions
Why pick stainless over carbon tool steel?
Stainless resists rust and handles damp or wet environments. Carbon tool steel holds a sharper edge longer but needs oiling and dry storage.
Is stainless tool steel as strong as carbon?
Close - modern 420 and 440-grade stainless is strong enough for bench and surgical work. For extreme edge retention (engraving gravers, hammer faces) carbon or tungsten wins.
Can I use stainless tools in pickle?
Only if rated anti-acid. Standard stainless will discolour in pickle; use copper tongs for pickle pot work.
Do you dispatch the same day?
Yes - orders placed before 2pm UK weekdays ship same-day.
What's your return policy?
30-day free returns on unused tools.
