I certainly would not recommend AB Tools, due to their use online of pics of superior brands to entice buying their cheap brands...bosshogg

You get what you pay's for (hammer)

I am happy to recommend both Classic Hand Tools and Workshop Heaven, they are both independant quality hand tool suppliers who my students use and I have only heard positive feed back so far.

I hope this helps Peter

That's a bit sarcastic :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not very happy with Rutlands at the minute. great price on a mobile base so I ordered 2 of them a week and a half ago. Web page indicated next day delivery and no mention it was out of stock. The confirmation email made no mention either so not until I queried it did I discover they don't have them and I'd have to wait a couple of weeks. I note they've now ammended the listing to say so and to be fair, they haven't debited my card yet.

Sales guy was very pleasant however.

Rutlands as they have offers and some different items, Axminster, Tilgear, Workshop Heaven, Classic Hand tools, Chronos, and MLCS in the U.S.

no mention it was out of stock.

Yep same happened to me when I ordered some sash clamps from Rutlands. But the sales guy (Luke?) is very helpful so I can't complain.

If you can wait a couple of months Dave the CHT show is on at Cressington

http://www.europeanwoodworkingshow.eu/


That way you can look & in some cases try before you buy.


Cheers.
