Wizer - is it on or is it off

[lurker]

LOL.
I hope it all went ok for him.

He must be a bit special if he actually got an op on the day he was supposed to have it - I can't imagine that happens very often.

IIRC its been cancelled so many times he had lost faith in it ever happening.
So far from being special he has had his usual bad luck and the boy could he give Joanha (sp.) a run for his money in the luck stakes!

Hi,

What's the slap-head-back-winger having done? hair implants :wink:

Pete

p.s. good luck wizer

He is having his lower vertebrae fused.

He was going to have implants at same time, but I told him yours were not very successful and you could still see the join.

 

[slimshady]

I hope all is well.

Hopefully after Tom's successful op the only remaining SHBW on the forum will be the one in Grappenhall. :lol:

As a fairly new guy to the forum I am not up on as much of the gos as most but I have been reading quite a lot of the general posts on various subjects.

One thing I have noticed is the apparent resentment towards Rutlands and the Dakota range.

I've bought a fair few quids worth from them over the years and never had any trouble with their stuff, whats the issue with them...just being nosey :-s

Cheers

In a nutshell, some of the stuff is okay, but it is cheaper Chaiwanese made so you get what you pay for, some of it has been known to fall apart quite very quickly.

People around here make their own minds up, wizer has his very own brand of...erm...opinion :wink: on the kit.

 

[Ironballs]

I've bought very little Dakota stuff, I did buy a set of rasps though which worked okay but not brilliantly. However, one (new) rasp fell out of the handle onto my nearly finished guitar neck, if a Rutlands rep had been present then he would have had a rasp up his a*se

 

[Bluekingfisher]

It's true, ones gets what they pay for, although I wouldn't say the items were 'cheap' in a money sense at least. Again it would appear that we are the victims of over priced goods in the UK. If we pay it, they'll charge it.

As I stated earlier I've never had any problems with their kit falling apart, perhaps I have just been lucky, so can only judge them on that.

Thanks for your response though chaps.

By the way has anyone any experience of the Wood sharp, tool sharp, sharpening system that Rutlands, and others are currently selling. Rutlands have 20 quid off the normal price so was wondering if it was worth considering??

I've had a couple of conversations with wizer on this forum regarding tablesaws, although I didn't know his name was Tom, so on that basis, I wish him a speedy recovery

I have had some great deals from Rutlands and although none of them have been their Dakota range, the products I have had have always been good. On the other hand some members have had dreadful experiences and to be honest if you read posts from Pro Rutlands customers and then those against them, you would be forgiven for thinking that they were talking about completely different companies.

IMHO Rutlands can be a very good company, with good deals, and happy customers. That is until SOMETHING GOES WRONG , and it is at this stage when their customer services can often fail the customer miserably.
The problem is, with other companies you can often complain to the boss, who if they see fit will send a rocket up the backside of customer services, but this is not the case with Rutlands, because their MD is just as bad, if not worse, then they are. In the following link both Newbie Neil and I emailed him to draw his attention to a thread, with the hope that he would sort the problem out, or at least give his side of the story, but the ignorant prat never even answered my email, let alone post on the forum.

It is Rutlands attitude to a problem that lets them down, and the sad thing is, if they took a leaf out of Axminsters book and had a decent department who treated their customers properly, they could be an equally as good a company. Which would be great, because healthy competition is always good for the customer, especially now that they have started to import Woodpecker products from the US.
