be warned

be warned, if you have an issue they won’t resolve it. Yes their prices are cheap but if what you buy is faulty they won’t respond. Spent 2-3K over the past 12 months wth then and had an issue with a dewalt battery. Still not resolved and they are now not communicating. Their MO is sell cheap and then ignore you if you have an issue, Avoid this company try ITS or Howe tools , good after sales with both

Eventually I cancelled the order as they still couldn’t give me a delivery date. My refund was confirmed on the 28th August, here I am on the 8 September 11 days later and they still haven’t refunded me . By far the worst company I have ever bought anything off . Very unhappy at the fact that nearly four weeks ago I ordered a tool, that never came and now the refund doesn’t look like it’s coming with any urgency either . Really bad service all round , the only thing that happens fast is that they take your money. I’m starting believe that I have been completely scammed and I’m going to contact my bank.

Terrible company

Terrible company. I bought an item that didn't work as intended. I contacted them explaining the situation and they want me to return it at MY cost, even though I'm not at fault here, their item is! They say it's because It was purchased over 30 days prior to me using it. It would cost almost as much to return it than it cost to buy. Terrible company, avoid and spend your money elsewhere.

Festool TS 55…

​I purchased the Festool TS 55 FEBQ-Plus (576706) bundle with the Guide Rail Kit (577932) and Dust Extractor (578315) for £1,239.00.
​Delivery was fast, but the package arrived missing one of the guide rails. When I contacted customer service, they simply dismissed my claim, stating the parcel weighed 7.5 kg so both rails must have been inside, and closed the case without resolving it.
​Because I urgently needed the tools for my job, I made the mistake of using the saw. Now they refuse a return because they demand everything back in brand-new condition along with both rails—the very rail they failed to send in the first place!
​They sent only one rail and are lying about delivering two. Be extremely cautious dealing with this company. I strongly do not recommend they

Avoid this company

Avoid this company. They do not honour any guarantee after 30days. Which is actually against the consumer rights act 2015. They just stop replying if anything goes wrong with any of your purchases.

Excellent customer service

Really surprised me my first machine packed up within a couple of days obviously a fault from manufacturing which was a shame because it was performing really well on my orbital sander
Contacted tools for trade within a short while that arranged for collection ironically I had disposed of the box away as you do
Anyway it was collected on the Friday and the replacement machine turned up on the Monday
Which is working absolutely brilliant
Can't rate them highly enough

I can’t recommend these and will certainly not order from again. Sent incorrect item and didn’t even offer an apology or to have the correct item sent out next working day, even though I paid next working day postage and they managed to supply the incorrect item that way.

Having to pay out-of-pocket to hire backup equipment because a supplier dropped the ball is infuriating, especially when a paying client is waiting on you. If it hasn't even marked as shipped, waiting around for their phone lines to clear up isn't worth your time.

Messed around with back order item

Ordered £750 worth of tools.

Parcel arrived (Friday) 8 am missing one item with a note on the delivery slip saying it was on back order. No email, no phone call.

Called them same afternoon as I had still not had any communication. Was told "not sure" of restock date and that I would get a call back later in the day or the next day (Saturday). Called back on Monday as I had still not heard anything. was told it would be back in stock Wednesday and with me on Thursday. Still no updates on Thursday, had to call again asking for an update. Was told I would get a call back Friday before noon with an update.

Got a call back Friday (at this point 1 week late..) saying it "should be" back in stock next Wednesday but they couldn't guarantee it so asked for a refund.

Terrible communication all along until I started getting very annoyed..

The item I ordered from yourself was sent out very quickly but unfortunately DPD never delivered it to my property. I’ve been in touch with yourself regarding this and I believe you are looking into it. I asked for it to be left in a safe place which was by my back door as I do on all deliveries from DPD I have over 10 security cameras on my property with line crossing so I know if anybody comes onto my property DPD did not come onto my property and they are also saying that I signed for the parcel please let me know what you’re outcome is as I have not received the item I ordered from you not your fault unfortunately DPD

Disappointing/waste of time

Ordered a power tool from them and paid extra for next day delivery. It was due to be delivered by DPD on Friday, we waited in but it didn’t turn up. We were given a new delivery date for Monday, again didn’t turn up. On both occasions we were told they had attempted delivery but photo shows a blank?! Really disappointing and will call them again tomorrow to get a refund.
