Graft Tools began in 2009 in a rented unit in Attercliffe, Sheffield. Dan Ashworth, a joiner, and Priya Mistry, an electrician, were tired of merchants who sold everything and knew nothing.
They stocked only what they would put in their own vans, wrote the specs in plain English and answered the phone themselves. Graft is an online merchant: everything ships from the Sheffield warehouse, and there are no shops, trade counters or collection points.
