A coated tool is excellent in adhesiveness of film, wear resistance, crater resistance and chipping resistance. The coated tool has a substrate and a coating coated on the surface thereof, at least one layer of the coating being an α-type aluminum oxide film, an average film thickness of the α-type aluminum oxide film being about 0.5 to about 10 μm, an average grain size of the α-type aluminum oxide film being about 0.5 to about 1.5 μm, and a texture coefficient TCA(012) of (012) plane of the α-type aluminum oxide film and a texture coefficient TCA(104) of (104) plane of the α-type aluminum oxide film satisfying TCA(104)/TCA(012)≧2.0.
