About Us

We Are TSO Products

At TSO, we build tools in the USA with one goal in mind: to remove uncertainty from the process so woodworkers can focus on craftsmanship and achieve consistently high-quality results.

Built for Consistency, From Start to Finish

When a tool behaves unpredictably, it costs time, material, and confidence. By designing and building our tools in the USA and producing them in small batches, we keep control of the details that matter: quality, consistency, and after-purchase support. That control shows up as tools that behave the way you expect, so you can focus on finishing the work well.

Precision with a Purpose

TSO was founded to build tools without compromise for people who care deeply about the quality of their work. After decades of experience in other industries, Hans and Eric Friedebach wanted the freedom to do things the right way—deliberately, thoughtfully, and at a scale where accountability could stay personal. Woodworking was the natural fit, because the impact of good tools is felt immediately.

Designed to Grow with You

We design our tools with the expectation that they’ll be used—and supported—for years. That means keeping products in production for long periods of time, refining them deliberately, and standing behind them well beyond a single launch. When you invest in a TSO tool, you’re buying something built to last, not something designed to disappear tomorrow.

Built With Our Community

We're fortunate to work with a community of woodworkers who genuinely care about the tools they use and the work they produce. Their willingness to share feedback, ideas, and hard-earned experience helps us build better tools and make smarter decisions. That dialogue is a big part of why our products continue to improve—and why this work remains meaningful.

The Bottom Line

TSO exists to support serious craftsmanship by building tools that reduce uncertainty, encourage confidence, and help woodworkers finish their work to a high standard. By building deliberately, staying accountable, and standing behind every tool we make, we help woodworkers focus on what matters most: doing their best work.
