Bought a $608 brand new Karcher jet & T5 washer from total tools online and I received what seems like a used/return unit full of scratches. The T5… Read more
surface washer also came without original box/manuals stuffed inside air pillows & could be missing some other accessories. Coming from what used to be a reputable national retailer where I have purchased from numerous occasions in the past, this is downright disappointing & quite simply unacceptable. Stay far far away from them!

told that Stratco don't assemble small sheds so it was a DIY project. The instructions for both sheds were so lacking in detail it turned out to be a nightmare 3day job.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We… Read more

warehouse. The substantial heads on the bolts meant that no matter what position you are in, installing the fixing, your driver wont slip. Also the shank seems to be more robust, so breaking the smaller fixings is not likely, where the aforementioned competitor, it was a regular occurance.

Very helpful customer service. Answered all my questions and made a difficult delivery location easy. Very well made ladder. Highly recommend.
These guys still wont give up. Had another cold call from them today despite me asking to never be contacted again. We had an extremely unpleasant dealing with this company including broken promises and deception. We wont deal with them again!

We had a really difficult situation with some very old skylights. The Justrite team came up with a flexible solution and the workmanship was better than I expected to be honest. I was so grateful for their commitment to getting a good outcome for us.
Have purchased three large truck boxes from Ozy toolboox. 2x delivered to my home and 1x collection from Brendale. Super impressed with how well they have held up to trade use. Sam day collection, point of sale was easy. Thanks again team.

back to get the longer one which was fine....until I got charged 49 cents! to swap over the item for the one I needed, honestly what a bunch of greedy criminals, so they make $20 Billion during Covid and I've heard it's over $40 Billion plus per year now, geez I can see how they make the big bucks, gotta squeeze every penny don't ya hey, absolute [Content Removed] at its finest, shame on you and don't get me going on about [Content Removed] staff that must be on some kind of [Content Removed], honestly useless staff that are too busy chatting amongst themselves and looking at their phones, is it some kind of Bunnings policy to choose the most [Content Removed] useless [Content Removed] unemployable sorts? I'd say most would have the IQ [Content Removed] but that would be too generous. Bunnings warehouse where money grabbing [Content Removed] and [Content Removed]staff is just the beginning!

tools. So given the weight of everything, sturdiness and reliability are very important. Whilst the accessories aren't cheap, their performance lives up to their price. Very happy.
Furthermore, Arthur was super helpful and responsive and went out of his way to make sure the delivery got to my place, which wasn't straight forward given it was a new build and so not listed on Google maps.

purchased the equipment and parts I needed, when I rang yesterday (Saturday) for additional advice, your help was invaluable. I have finished my landing and steps and they look great, thanks to your advice.
I would not hesitate to recommend your company based on the professionalism and service you provide.
Five star business – Have been dealing with Bill for over thirty years and won’t go anywhere else. Great service and job always done on or before time. Have introduced others to them and all agree they are always trying to help their customers.

dodgy warranty? They won't print negative reviews on their site either.
Trade Tools Vices,, is there a worse vice than a Trade Tools Vice? I don't think so. They would have to be the most brittle cast iron trash in the market. I have had two of them and they both cracked just out of warranty. I have still got a patched up Trade Tools swivel type sitting on my bench that lets go if you use any force.
This is how their warranty worked for me: About a year ago I bought one of their "home brand Dremel" type tools & the switch broke on first use. I took it back & the guy said you bought this a month ago, & I said "yes" but today was the first use. Trade Tools said sorry we cannot give you a replacement but we can fix it.
So get this, they wouldn't replace it but they got a brand new tool out of a box on display, stripped it down on the front counter in front of me & put that new switch in mine, how slack is that. And then it broke again a week later. I decided to cut my losses & put it where it belongs "IN THE BIN".
When they had their old Trade Tools shop (now Sydney Tools) I purchased a STAR Touch up spray gun which was broken before I even used it because it was manufactured faulty & it would not stop blowing air. It had not even had paint in it when I took it back & the staff member said that was how they were meant to be. I said nonsense mate, please give me another gun or a refund. He said sorry no refunds here, and then he made me wait for just over an hour before he got me another one from out back. He was rude & arrogant.
Last week, "out of pure necessity", I had to go there again to by one of their "Renegade" touch up Spray guns ($109.00 - RI102AG-HVLP), and I also bought two different needles & nozzles for it as well (another $60.00 bucks). I would not have gone there if I had a choice, but due to supply circumstances in Brisbane it had to be Trade Tools unfortunately.
First use, I put 100mls of paint into the reservoir to set it up for painting & it leaked paint & spluttered from the nozzle because the brass nozzle holder in the gun body was not even done up tight so it was blowing air & paint out between the join & before it even reached the needle & Nozzle.
This time I did not bother about taking it back to be treated like a criminal, I just repaired it myself. It now works good enough to be a primer spray gun, but that is all it is good for.
We at TradeTools are sorry that you have experienced… Read more

Excellent gardening knife from Japanese Tools Australia – My new hori hori knife is now my favourite gardening tool. It is perfect for extracting deep rooted weeds as it is wonderfully strong, well balanced and sharp.

some quotes from companies. In the end after waiting for callbacks, I decided to attempt it myself. I rang around and discovered that Trade glass depot was one of the cheapest for supplies and gave me all the advice I could possibly ask for. He rejigged my plan, gave me the measurements that were necessary and with very detailed instructions, I called a couple of friends that would be able to help me as some of the glass is quite heavy. I followed the instructions to the letter and I was very surprised at how it turned out. I am very very pleased with the result and I cannot thank Phillip and the guys from trade glass of depot enough. If you take your time and don't rush it you can do a job as big as this I highly recommend this crowd they were great

Rather than that mitre 10 prefers to 1 up its competitor… we can’t beat them so let’s make up nonsense, SO IT SEEMS WERE CHEAPER. once customers are here we’ll explain the whole thing wasn’t a lie but a perception problem. 3 piece tool combo kit but reality it’s a 2 pcs combo. Advertised for $1,339 under cutting other by $260 , but we thought they are cheaper coz they didn’t have freee battery as a bonus, while others did. Total tools and Sydney tools included tool kit depot had bonus. But when arrive it’s only a 2pcs kit. While all other companies (respectfully ) advertise as 2pcs kit, they said they count charger as 3rd piece. We all know how these kits are counted. Battery isn’t part of the count why would the bag or charger be? Then it’s a 6 pcs combo… absolute waste of time. Crazy part is they sell another 3 pcs combo kit with 3 tools and that’s not called a 4 pc combo

now on the way. Today is 6th May and still nothing. After reading the many other terrible reviews, I doubt whether I will ever receive my purchase, or receive a refund. In any event, I've had to buy the item elsewhere, I can't wait forever for this mob. Shonky as!
