Plastic-free Policy:
Japanese Tools Australia is an environmentally conscious company and we endeavour to eliminate plastics in as many parts of our business as possible. Your purchase will be shipped in recyclable non-plastic materials, and we re-use cardboard and paper wherever possible in our shipping process.
Exceptions to plastic-free policy:
Unfortunately, we are required to dispatch some express items in pre-paid satchels and in such circumstances we have no choice but to use a plastic satchel. Please keep in mind these satchels are 100% recyclable. Our suppliers also use plastic in their packaging of some products, and we do not remove these protective measures before shipping. We are considering strategies to eliminate these two remaining sources of plastic in our shipping process. As many of our items are hand-made, they do not arrive to us or to you with extraneous packaging, though this is not the case for all of our products.
Breakage in shipping policy:
We pack our shipments in specialised materials to ensure that our customers find them in the same condition that we send them. If you receive your products in a damaged condition, please email info@japanesetools.com.au with your order number and photos of the condition of the products within a week of collection. If an item is deemed to have been damaged in transit we will replace it with like kind at no extra shipping cost to the customer.If you are unhappy with the condition of your product and it has not been damaged in transit, please refer to our returns and exchanges policy.
Description
Description
Ink lines have been the preferred method of laying out long cuts and establishing centre lines in Japanese carpentry for centuries. In modern times, the sumitsubo that has become synonymous with the craft has been enthusiastically adapted and tweaked by modern makers.
These compact ink lines use a 0.6mm line to lay fine, consistent lines for further measuring and marking or for cutting to.
The ink compartment is a sealed unit that opens and locks with a catch on the side of the body. Sponges store the ink and charge the line, and can be pressed harder onto the line with the rubber button, imparting more ink.
Pinning the loose end of the line in place is as easy with the spring-loaded pin that stows securely in the unit when not in use.
The lock feature allows the user to manage the length of the line without touching the string.
The unit has a retractable nose that holds the line hard against the timber to be marked, and can also work it into tight corners.
Finally the auto-rewind makes using the ink line more akin to using a tape measure, with no need to reel the line back in once the mark has been made.
String measures 15 metres x 0.6mm, with the first 8 metres able to be auto-rewound.
Unit measures 175mm x 70mm x 38mm.
Designed in Japan. Manufactured in China.
