Can anyone recommend Powertool Direct?

Any nightmares?

Thanks in advance

Are you after new tools or spare parts?

I thought I had shopped with Powertool Direct but on checking my e-mail archives I found I was mistaken - but I have bought spares for my Elu MOF96E router from www.toolshopdirect.co.uk on a couple of occasions, and each time I received good service.

looked a few times but haven't tried them yet.

Bought my Tormek from these guys though and had excellent service at the best price available at the time.

Have used them twice, first time they had the best price on a Kreg steup, second time best price on a Jacobs chuck.
No real problems with them, other than they take a while to deliver which was a week or so after ordering.

Thanks everyone.

I'm thinking of a Veritas Low Angle Jack plane. They have it for £195, over £40 cheaper than axminster.

Hi All,

This Companies site is misleading and the Customer service is non-existent. Bought a pair of Dr Martens 6905 boots in TAN ( says Tan on invoice) When they arrived they were Teak ( on box). Phoned and spoke to Damien 'waste of space', who said that this has happened before, but teak is mentioned in the lower script. The 6905 boots are on their website 3 times all described as tan AND showing a picture of TAN boot. Teak is mentioned once in ONE of the descriptions. After getting stonewalled by their customer service regarding this and a refusal to pay for return postage, I attempted
to speak with Ben Sutcliffe, the manager who takes Customer service seriously! Guess what? Yes he dose'nt return calls. Will let you know if I get my money back.
Now spoken to Mr Sutcliffe who also thinks showing a picture of a tan boot AND describing it as tan, but sending a TEAK pair is not really their fault but is prepared to get them collected. I have decided to pay for recorded delivery return as I don't trust them without proof of return.
This IS a rogue internet Company
Cheers Chris Churchill

I can recommend this company, super quick delivery
Depending on the exchange rate the prices can be good

I used Folkestone Fixings (http://www.ffx.co.uk) recently and was very impressed with their service - exemplary communications and speed of delivery.

Ive used them a few times...Tormek jigs mostly...as they're usualy the cheapest...them or D&M in Twickenham always seem to be the best two. Their service was great...fast delivery, well packed...nice people

I was just about to mention them. I looked the other day and they were very cheap, although I didn't price up shipping.
