The price of the boards

The price of the boards , I found out after is greatly inflated. These can be bought for as little as 25 euro. very frustrated to be extorted like I was. Will not use this service again. Product fine. Delivery fine. Price awful.

Very Helpful in store

Can't complain about Toolman. Called to the shop, was given a hot drink and told them what I was after. Took me into the warehouse and we haggled a deal which was far cheaper that the other 2 shops I could have bought from. Left with purchase, vat invoice and all paid up. They appear to be a very busy business with stock coming and going while I was there. Surely a good sign. I'm a happy customer and will be back.

Invoice issue resolved

Bought a mixer €2999 plus vat wasn’t delivered on time , had to go collect it myself from a warehouse in cork, the main leg was Twisted , another bit of damage here and there , it’s working that’s a blessing , I have not received vat invoice , despite asking countless times , their phone seems to be passed around to anybody that will dog you off , far cry from the helpful sales patter , since they got payed, I still need an receipt , not at all happy ,,/

Hi Stephen, there must be some mistake, we don't have a warehouse in Cork. You must be confusing us with another company.
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
// update on review after 6 months you have now dismissed me with a remark such as I have the wrong company , in my review I have not said that’s toolman Ltd own a warehouse house in cork , I did say I had to collect my cement mixer , from discharging ware house after the transport company that you used to deliver and that I payed you Toolman . To deliver it to my door , said they could not . To say that I have the wrong company I find insulting , if I have the wrong company, may you please return the €3198 that was transferred nfrom my bank to Toolman Ltd on the September 16th . 2022 copy of which I have forwarded to trust piloted. And revenue will most likely want a copy also , in original review I stated that the condition of the product was far from satisfactory, and your treatment of a customer once the payment had went through changed to that which , goes beyond disappointment, now your response has further more shown the flippant. Disregard you have shown towards me , all I had requested was a vat receipt ,as is expected and required by law,

My accountant contacted toolman.ie and spoke to someone in accounts and receipt has been received,! They were helpful and professional, I wish the sales team had acted accordingly, my company can now claim the vat on my purchase, this could and should have been dealt with sooner , if toolman wish to flag and get review removed, they can . But the review of the whole experience is true and now been proven . Gripe over

Worst experience ever

I purchased a brand new petrolHyundai hedge trimmer from these guys in the 1st July, it worked fine on the day. 12 days later I tried it again, this time it would not start. So I was very disappointed, and took the product back to request a refund for a faulty product. They refused as said the product would have to be inspected, and I quote he said for all I know you could have filled it with diesel or been trying to chop down trees with it. Rather insulting I felt, as used petrol tools most of my life. He also said leave it with us and it will be back in a couple of days. A week passed, nothing. I called the store, a guy answered and told me it was with the supplier I will call them and come back to you. Nothing again ! A few days later I called again, same scenario heard nothing. I left it a week and tried once more, got a guy in the morning who yet again failed to call me back. Phoned in the afternoon, spoke to a lady, who said sorry he has been trying to call you, I wonder ??? She said leave it with me I will personally chase it up and come back to you. No surprise when I didn't get a call back. I finally found out the name and email address of their director, so decided to write to him and ask why I hadn't heard back from them and requested a credit. yet again nothing, no response. Up to the 23rd of August I still did not hear back from them. This without a doubt is the worst service I have every experienced, I question how they are still in business. Or if they should be !
