Cheaper than my usual supplier

I've been buying from a local supplier for a while, but this site was a fair bit cheaper for the same workwear trousers. Delivery took about three days and the sizing was accurate. Just the returns form was a bit of a fiddle to find, but the price made up for it.

The size guide on the site

I was a bit nervous ordering tools online for the first time but the size guide on the site made it easy to pick the right socket set. Found exactly what I needed in a few minutes and the order arrived well packed.

Better than the usual brand

I'd been using a well-known brand for years and tried this one as a cheaper alternative for a set of ratchet spanners. They feel just as solid in the hand and cost a fair bit less. The order came in two days and I've had no complaints.

Got a sanding pad set

Got a pack of sanding pads for my mate's flat, cheap and quick. Ordered on my phone in the evening and they were at the door next morning. Did the job, lads were happy, will get more.

Impact driver bits

Ordered a set of impact driver bits on my phone during a lunch break and they turned up the next morning. Checkout was fine on mobile, no fuss with the saved address. Bits are solid and the magnetic holder does its job.

First order for the garage

This was my first time ordering from them and the thing that struck me most was how easy the checkout was when I'd only ever bought tools in shops before. I wanted a pair of work gloves and a torch for the garage. Everything turned up well packed in two days, so I'd happily order again.

Compared to the garden centre

I usually buy my hedge trimmers from the garden centre but they were a fair bit more expensive there. Ordered from this site instead and the trimmer was cheaper and turned up in good time. Happy with it so far.

Still my first port of call for workshop bits

Honestly they are still my first port of call for workshop bits after years of ordering from them. Prices have stayed sensible and the range keeps getting better. Last order of router bits arrived in two days and everything was as expected.

Spare blades for the mitre saw

Found the blades on this site for less than the big DIY chains, after looking at about three other places. What caught my eye was that they list the tooth count and the kerf width right on the product page, which saved me guessing. Arrived in two days and they cut clean straight off the bat, no complaints from me.

Needed a better pair of secateurs

My old secateurs had got stiff and I needed something I could manage with my wrists. The site had a good range and the sizes were clear, so I picked a lighter pair. They came quickly and the grip is very comfortable.

Got the job done eventually

Bought the sander expecting it to show up in a couple of days but it took nearly a week to arrive. The sander works fine and the price was right, but I did have to chase the order by email to find out where it was.

Not as cheap as the big supermarket

I'd been looking at a similar tool bag on a supermarket site first, and this one came in a few pounds dearer. The bag is sturdier though and it turned up in one piece, so it's fair enough.

Delivery was a day late

Ordered a set of masonry bits for a job at the weekend, and they came a day later than the date on the site. Not a huge deal but I'd have liked a heads up. Bits are good quality and the checkout was simple.

The drill stand does the job

Going through a few options for a drill stand, this one came out on top for price and reviews. Ordered on a Sunday, it arrived Tuesday morning and the stand was exactly what I wanted. Nothing to complain about.

The impact driver

Bought the impact driver as a replacement for my old one, and I've been using them for years so I know what to expect. The torque is about where it should be for the price and the chuck is solid. Packed well, arrived quickly, no complaints.

The cordless jigsaw

I compared a few jigsaws before going for the cordless one from here, and the battery life listed on the site was accurate. The order showed up in a sturdy box with the saw and both batteries. The only thing I'd change is that the blade guard is a bit fiddly to adjust.

Needed a replacement for my late husband's saw

I needed a replacement blade for my husband's old circular saw after the original had become quite worn. The website made it straightforward to find the correct one and the staff were helpful when I rang with a question about fitting. It arrived promptly and the blade is exactly as described.

best price i could find for the drill

Went with them in the end after comparing about four other sites for the same cordless drill kit. Their total came out lowest once delivery was added on, and the checkout was quick and the order confirmation came through straight away. Worth a look if you are buying tools and don't want to spend ages hunting around for the cheapest option.

Good value for the money

Picked up a tool chest for the garage and the price was the first thing I noticed, it was clearly the cheapest on my list. Delivery was quick and it went together with no missing bits. You get a lot for the money.

Needed a new step ladder for the loft

Needed a new step ladder for getting into the loft and I'd read a few reviews of different brands before choosing. This one had the best rating for the money and the reviews were honest about the weight. It's sturdy enough and the ordering was painless.
