G.Gibson & Co Ltd is part of the Gibson Group of Companies. The Gibson Group companies all manufacture specialist hand tools for Forestry, Fencing, Landscaping, Engineering, Stone Masoning, Stone Carving, and monumental Masoning industries. G.Gibson & Co Ltd, Manufacturers of Stone Masons tools including Carbide Tipped Chisels (J.G.Faulds Type or F-type), Framing and Rafter Squares for the building industries, including the sought after "Smallwood’s Square - 390 &390B" Roofing Square. Smith Edge Tools was acquired but then merged into Visa Tools Ltd, so the manufacture of specialist type Hammer Heads e.g. Track Keying Hammer Heads (British Standard), Shipwrights Mauls, and many difficult to find Hammer head types was acquired. As previously mentioned, I&D Smallwood’s steel products (and some wood) were integrated to G.Gibson & Co Ltd's line up, so Platers Squares, Rules, Straight Edges etc are another string to the Gibson Groups Bow. If you have any queries about a Hand Tool you require and are having difficulty finding it, please contact us.
In 1985, Trevor & Gail Timmins formed a company called G.Gibson & Co. The main product of this company was Scutch Combs & Hammer Wedges. All the Production work was out-sourced, and the office work done at Home. In 1988, the first company premises were leased, and manufacturing was undertaken in house, along with packaging, but offices still at home.
The machines that produced Scutch Combs and Hammer Wedges then, are still the same machines used today. Over several years, the product range has quickly expanded, as did the space requirements for more machinery to produce the Ring Wedges. Machinery was then bought that meant manufacture and maintenance of our tooling was possible in house.
In 1997, to secure furthermore the future of the company, G.Gibson & Co bought their own premises. The building which was originally 3 times too big, along with the hard work and dedication of the directors, would become the foundation of what the company is today.
In 1999, G.Gibson & Co Ltd bought I & D Smallwood-Birmingham. The manufacturer of Steel Squares, Steel Straight Edges, Mitre Gauges, and other associated products. Production of the "Smallwood Type Rafter Square" was continued, and now is also produced in Stainless Steel and Aluminium versions.
In 2002, G.Gibson & Co Ltd bought J G Faulds-Glasgow. Faulds specialize in Carbide Tipped Masonry Tools and associated products for the Stone Masoning Trade. With this came the knowledge and experience of 3 generations of Stonemasons, in the manufacture of these types of tools. Recent figures have seen up to 1000 tools a week produced, but still using the tried and tested methods of years before. Every single chisel is prepared, brazed, and ground by hand to create probably the best quality Chisels around.
By now, the building which was originally 3 times too big, was now too small. Plans were put into place, and by Christmas 2002, the extension to the original building was beginning. This would see the premises almost double in size, and house plenty of room for the next acquisition
In 2003/2004, G.Gibson & Co Ltd bought Visa Hand Tools-Bristol. Whilst this continued the Groups continued effort to work in specialist and professional markets, it also opened up further markets into Forestry and Fencing. Visa Tools still trades under the original name, but is a subsidiary of the Gibson Group, unlike the aforementioned companies which all trade as G.Gibson & Co Ltd, another Gibson Group Company. Visa manufacture Fibreglass and Hickory handled striking tools, mainly for the forestry and fencing trades, but also some construction trades, as well as the specialist’s areas such as Fire-fighters Axes, Track Keying Hammers, DIN & British Standards Ball Pein Hammers.
All the aforementioned companies have been relocated under one roof at the new site on Barrowby Lane, Garforth. This helps keep our costs down, and our quality high.
The future isn't yet written for G.Gibson & Co Ltd, but we aim to continue our goals of producing high quality specialist Handtools, and grade A service to back them up.
If you want top quality, then its here. We only manufacture & provide the best quality tools. Put us on your Favorites list or join the Mailing List and we'll send you all the latest offers

In 1988, the first company premises were leased, and manufacturing was undertaken in house, along with packaging, but offices still at home.
The machines that produced Scutch Combs and Hammer Wedges then, are still the same machines used today. Over several years, the product range has quickly expanded, as did the space requirements for more machinery to produce the Ring Wedges. Machinery was then bought that meant manufacture and maintenance of our tooling was possible in house.
In 1997, to secure furthermore the future of the company, G.Gibson & Co bought their own premises. The building which was originally 3 times too big, along with the hard work and dedication of the directors, would become the foundation of what the company is today.
In 1999, G.Gibson & Co Ltd bought I & D Smallwood-Birmingham. The manufacturer of Steel Squares, Steel Straight Edges, Mitre Gauges, and other associated products. Production of the "Smallwood Type Rafter Square" was continued, and now is also produced in Stainless Steel and Aluminium versions.
In 2002, G.Gibson & Co Ltd bought J G Faulds-Glasgow. Faulds specialize in Carbide Tipped Masonry Tools and associated products for the Stone Masoning Trade. With this came the knowledge and experience of 3 generations of Stonemasons, in the manufacture of these types of tools. Recent figures have seen up to 1000 tools a week produced, but still using the tried and tested methods of years before. Every single chisel is prepared, brazed, and ground by hand to create probably the best quality Chisels around.
By now, the building which was originally 3 times too big, was now too small. Plans were put into place, and by Christmas 2002, the extension to the original building was beginning. This would see the premises almost double in size, and house plenty of room for the next acquisition
In 2003/2004, G.Gibson & Co Ltd bought Visa Hand Tools-Bristol. Whilst this continued the Groups continued effort to work in specialist and professional markets, it also opened up further markets into Forestry and Fencing. Visa Tools still trades under the original name, but is a subsidiary of the Gibson Group, unlike the aforementioned companies which all trade as G.Gibson & Co Ltd, another Gibson Group Company. Visa manufacture Fibreglass and Hickory handled striking tools, mainly for the forestry and fencing trades, but also some construction trades, as well as the specialist’s areas such as Fire-fighters Axes, Track Keying Hammers, DIN & British Standards Ball Pein Hammers.
All the aforementioned companies have been relocated under one roof at the new site on Barrowby Lane, Garforth. This helps keep our costs down, and our quality high.
The future isn't yet written for G.Gibson & Co Ltd, but we aim to continue our goals of producing high quality specialist Handtools, and grade A service to back them up.
