A long saga; item was damaged upon receipt. They agreed to replace, but this dragged on and eventually I cancelled and they said no problem we’ll refund you straight away. I believed them and stupid... See more

As smart and speedy as the vacuum I purchased.

The Vax commercial vacuum is a joy. Having suffered for many years with a bad back I found vacuuming a real chore as even the lightest of hoovers seemed heavy. I can hardly feel the Vax as it glides over the carpet leaving them all plumped up, something I had not achieved with my previous, well known brand, vacuum.
The only down side is the stairs as there are no attatchments but in my view the light weight and efficiency of the product far outways any negatives.
I cannot find anything negative with regard to this company. The product I ordered arrived within a few days and it was £3 cheaper than many other well known companies selling online. I would recommend to anyone.

First Class!

Just bought the large sized ash carrier from DIY Tools. The service was fast, and the goods better than I expected. I've been so fed up of getting covered in hot ashes (not to mention the rug being burnt to a crisp) every time I cleaned out the wood stove - and there's always a gust of wind when you open the door! The ash carrier sits neatly in the corner of the porch next to the woodpile, looking shiny and quite stylish, and it''s so easy to use. Will definitely buy from this company again

If you want the wrong tool sent then this is the company to use.

My order arrived in good time but it was not the item I had requested.There was no paperwork accompanying it but when I checked the email confirming the order it was clear they had made a mistake. I emailed them a number of times without reply. When I got through to them on the phone they said they were too busy to answer emails! I am still waiting for the correct item to be delivered.

Very good service

I am more than satisfied withthe service from DIY Tools, however can you explain why when I went onto their site direct I could not find the item that I wanted(small dog grate flat product No BG104) but when I went onto their site via Shopzilla I found it almost instantly?

Quicker than you can blink

I was so impressed with speedy delivery. But at the time of ordering, I didn't have a confirmation so was a bit nous about payment. I called them up, and they checked immediately. Reassuring, if a bit clumsy. But the goods arrived super quick, in good nick, totally as promised.

What service

Well couldn't find what I wanted anywhere, until i found the DIY TOols site and I did and easily too. I was a little upset about the price of the p&p. as I thought £5.95 for one greenhouse cover a little excessive, but I spoke too soon as blow me down the day after I had ordered it there it was on my doorstep. So they get my thumbs up

no fooling, brilliant tooling

Guess what Andy wanted for Xmas! An axe for splitting logs for their wood burner (not). We went online to find one for him and in so doing found that there are axes and then there are mauls. It's the maul that's needed for that chore. Found this website, DIY TOols, peice of cake to use, prices first class, ordered the maul and it arrived 4 days later. It was well wrapped, heavy, but appeared to be broken. Turned out the head had to be fitted here. What a great peice of kit. Andy hasn't seen it yet but I've tried it. Brilliant!!

Good quality. Prompt service

Good quality at reasonable price. Looks great. Despatched promptly. Tracked delivery online -first attempt apparently failed although someone in and no card left - though this is more of a reflection on the courier than the merchant. 2nd attempt was successful.
