ABOUT US
Who We Are
Craftsman Hardware was created for one purpose: to make choosing the right tools, fasteners and workwear simpler, safer, and more reliable for Australian professionals. What began as a personal frustration — walking into hardware stores and being overwhelmed by endless options, unclear differences and inconsistent performance — grew into a commitment to do things properly.
Instead of guessing which products would last, we spent years evaluating them in real conditions. Long days on site. Harsh weather. Heavy workloads. Sleepless nights searching for better solutions when things didn’t hold up. Every success and every failure shaped our standards. Craftsman Hardware wasn’t built in a boardroom — it was built on worksites.
Why We Started
The industry offers thousands of brands. Some are excellent, some are average, and many are designed for markets very different from Australia’s demanding environments. We knew there had to be a better way: a curated selection backed not by marketing, but by proof.
That’s why we made it our mission to identify the products that consistently deliver — strength when it matters, durability over time, comfort under pressure, and reliability you don’t have to second-guess. If we stock something, it’s because we trust it with our own hands, our own projects and, frankly, our own livelihoods.
Our Approach
Real Testing, Real Work, Real Expectations
We do not choose products based on price tags, trends or catalogues. We choose them based on what happens when they meet real work: timber that bites back, steel that demands precision, weather that doesn’t cooperate, deadlines that don’t move.
If a product can’t hold up under those conditions, it doesn’t enter our range. It’s that simple.
Global Quality, Australian Standards
Many of the world’s best tools and fasteners come from specialised manufacturers around the globe. But excellence overseas is only half the equation — Australian trades need local support, spare parts, warranty backing and someone who genuinely understands how the equipment is used.
That is why every brand we bring in is supported here at home. We stand behind what we sell, because we rely on it ourselves.
The Brands We Supply
We partner with brands that set global benchmarks in engineering, safety, ergonomics and long-term durability. Not the most common brands — the best performing ones.
Our lineup includes premium manufacturers such as:
- Snickers Workwear
- Blåkläder
- FAMAG
- HECO
- SPAX
- EuroTec
- RAMPA
- Mirka
- Wiha
- Stehle
- Leuco
- Tanos
- Solid Gear & Toe Guard
These brands aren’t chosen by popularity — they’re chosen because they have proven, measurable performance records worldwide. We bring them to Australia so local professionals can access world-class solutions without guessing or compromising.
Our Responsibility
We Put Ourselves Behind Every Product
We believe that if your work depends on something, your supplier should be willing to stake their own reputation on it. We do. Every product we offer reflects the standards we hold for ourselves and the trust our customers place in us.
Whether it’s a single screw or a full system, we take responsibility for its performance. Our commitment is personal — because we know the work our customers do is personal too.
Our Commitment to the Future
We see sustainability not just as recycling, but as reducing failure, reducing replacement, and increasing reliability. When something is built properly, it lasts longer. When it lasts longer, it has a smaller environmental footprint and a bigger impact on productivity.
Craftsman Hardware exists to support that future — a future where quality outperforms quantity, and where professionals have the confidence to choose once, choose right, and get on with the job.
That is who we are. That is what we stand for. And that is the standard we deliver.
