smo Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Has anyone used axminster tools, both as a supplier and/or as an actual manufacturer?? My dad recommended them to me, he seems to spend far too much at their shop and their prices seem good, they also rate their kit (and everything they sell) with DIY/Trade/Industrial use ratings so you know what abuse it takes. So...opinions and experiences please EDIT: Web address www.axminster.co.uk Edited December 29, 2006 by smo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Definite thumbs up, their own brand stuff seems to be sourced decently - ie it's not ****e, the old man has quite a few (is it 'white') own branded tools and they've performed well for his use. I've got a lovely bench vice christmas pressie sitting here that came from them, as well as an air nibbler. pleased with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Well i was given a 1/2" Air ratchet wrench and am about to buy some other tools, so if they are good i shall go back to axminster as they are certainly keenly priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwncidur Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 My mate is a carpenter and buys shed fulls of stuff from them. Superb quality and decent prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jericho Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Have used them for many years now for carpentry tools;lots of odd stuff you don't often see - left handed carpenters axe! - .They sell a range of qualities from top to budget,but none of it is rubbish.I would recommend them.

smo Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Glad people think they are good - i got bored earlier to took the 120mile round trip to go to their shop for "fun" and spent £100 on some air tools and a few bits and pieces. The service was excellent and prices still seem good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
