Good produce and great customer support

Purchased a endoscope inspection camera which is a great tool which works well with good clear picture. Had a small issue in that I could not fine the charging indicator light, sent an enquiry to technical support and got a prompt reply including a photo of where to find it. Great customer service and a good product.

Lifetime warranty is just a marketing gimmick!

I recently contacted Draper Tools regarding a hand tool I own which is supposedly covered by a lifetime warranty...well guess what, they decided that because I had owned the tool for a certain length of time, it is not covered by the lifetime warranty...make of that what you will.

I have seen your reply and I'm grateful that you have eventually offered to replace the equipment in question...but as it has taken several emails and a negative review to reach this situation, I am politely declining your offer.

We are sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding our response regarding your warranty claim.
While I appreciate that this is frustrating. I can see the matter has been escalated to the manager who has authorised a replacement to be issued and my colleague has emailed you in regard to this.

Absolute rubbish tools

I purchased a Draper bandsw model 84714 one of there larger models. I deeply regret buying it as it never cuts straight no matter how much you set it up correctly. Resawing is impossible. The quality is really poor especially the guide bearings ,which it has gone through 2 sets at my own cost. I do not think I will be purchasing any Draper tools in the future.

Good Morning John

We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve encountered and understand your frustration.
Issues such as difficulty maintaining a straight cut and repeated wear of guide bearings are concerning, and we would like to investigate this further for you.
Please contact our customer support team at sales@drapertools.com with your purchase information, and if possible, any photos so we can look into the matter for you.

I purchased a Draper lawnmower…

I purchased a Draper lawnmower approximately 2 years ago. The machine recently failed in that the cutting blade stopped rotating. I merely asked Draper for advice on the likely cause and gave a clear description of the fault. By return email, I wasn’t given advice; instead they asked me to post the lawnmower to them and they would send me a quote to repair. Clearly I don’t want to pay more money after bad, especially as by complying to their request, this is likely to lead to an uneconomic repair. Poor service I thought. Have now had to buy a new lawnmower- not Draper !

Good Morning Sharon
I’m sorry to hear about your frustration at not receiving the guidance you were hoping for.
Our standard process is to assess machines in person to ensure an accurate diagnosis and avoid the risk of providing incorrect guidance remotely.
I’m sorry we were unable to meet your expectations on this occasion, and I regret that this has led to you choosing an alternative product.

Outstanding service

The blade on my Draper loppers broke after 10 years of excellent service. As they were a birthday gift 10 years ago, I was keen to get them back in use. I could not find a replacement blade, so I contacted customer services to ask if I could buy them from the company, where Joe was very quick to say he would try to help me. The blade was now obsolete, but as there was one in a customer’s return item, he offered to send it to me free! This is a rare level of service these days and reinforces my view of Draper as an outstanding company. This could not have gone any better.

James was very friendly and helpful but unfortunately the information given to him from his technical department was incorrect. We searched the internet and finally got details on how to open slide base to allow us to insert screws to fit to top of work base Many wasted hours! Come on Draper improve your instructions and understand not everyone is knowledgeable when it comes to building equipment of this nature

Very helpful support tram

I contacted Draper tools help regarding dimensions for one of their tools.

They could not give me an answer straight away and had the item in question sent to them so that they could give me the information that I required.

Fran and Steph provided a courteous and helpful service, going to the extents necessary to provide the answer I required, my thanks to both of you!
