We ordered items early December 25 - paid express post 1-4 days promise. We are still waiting. Just empty promises that they are working hard to get orders out. Very poor experience. 1/10

Put to use the next day for a mortar mix - so much better than using a sheet of wood with the mix falling of the edge. One of the few suppliers to state what material it was made from. Shipped promptl... See more

Hi - i believe you have purchased from the australian company https://tufftools.com.au/ - we are a uk business and do not even ship to Australia. Please move your review to the correct company as this is damaging our reputation. Our site is https://toughtools.co.uk/

Hi - we emailed you straight back to sort this out, please can you come back to us. We have sold 1000's of these boards with no other complaints so we want to get to the bottom of any issues immediately.

Straight edge but when opened there was a dent

The item arrived quickly which was great as I needed it for a job but there was a dent at one end of the box section which annoyed me. Whilst I was still able to complete the job I had purchased a damaged product. The straight edge was really well wrapped and there was no sign of damage to the wrapping so it must have been damaged before it was wrapped.
I appreciate your replacement offer but I needed to use it...I opened it when I was about to use it so there would have been no time to wait for a replacement. As I say it was still usable. But I will say that for the price it should be in mint condition prior to being wrapped.

Hi - we had no idea that there was an issue with the product, we can only apologise. If we had been notified or contacted immediately after delivery we would have provided a replacement.

Great price and fast delivery

Really quick delivery time and reasonable delivery fee for such a heavy item. Great price for the tools aswell.
