About Us
Welcome to Ottertools! We are Niclas and Philipp, two passionate tinkerers with a big heart for woodworking. Our mission is to develop high-quality accessories for woodworking tools that are not only precise and durable, but also make everyday work easier – whether in the carpentry shop or in the home workshop.
Even as children, we were surrounded by craftsmen, marveling at their work pieces and developing a fascination for precise work. Niclas, who has two master carpenters in his family, studied mechanical engineering, and brings his technical expertise and practical experience to our products. Philipp, who studied mechanical and industrial engineering in Karlsruhe, has a great passion for wood and 3D printing—two worlds that we combine to create innovative solutions.
What drives us? The conviction that good tools are more than just a tool – they are the key to better results and more enjoyment in work. Each of our products is developed with meticulous attention to detail and the utmost precision. We maintain constant dialogue with craftspeople to ensure that our solutions precisely meet their practical needs.
We place great emphasis on high-quality materials, thoughtful design, and modern manufacturing techniques to create durable and precise products. Our passion for craftsmanship is reflected in everything we do – from the initial idea to the finished product in your workshop.
Ottertools stands for honest craftsmanship, modern technology, and the joy of achieving perfect results – because we know that good tools make all the difference. And because we ourselves prefer to work with the best tools.
