I'm probably done with this store now – I've been into the Cairns Total Tools numerous times now, and I have purchased from there from time to time, including higher value items. I liked the place when I first went there, but it has really gone downhill lately. Just before Christmas last year, Total Tools were offering a huge sale - something like 30 per cent off most items across… Read more
the store, but when I arrived, there were whole shelves emptied. I went in to buy some router bits, and there was not a single router bit for sale. Several metres of shelf were just empty. This was repeated right across the store. In more recent visits I've found it hard to get advice on particular products and have also found their range to be wanting. I went in yesterday to buy some sanding discs for a 125mm orbital sander and - apart from a bulk pack of various grades of some cheap brand of disks - they only had one brand of disks and only in a limited range of grades. This hasn't been a one-off. I've been in at least twice in the last few months looking for a specific product you'd normally expect them to stock, but they either didn't stock it or were out of stock.
The last straw was when I went in yesterday. The Queensland COVID restrictions were still in force requiring the wearing of masks indoors. They had a sign on the door advised that masks were mandatory for entry. But not a single staff member was wearing a mask. I saw two with the masks around their neck and one with no mask at all.
Total Tools is competing with a coupe of local tool shops and my experience so far is that I can see no reason to favour this store over their competition. I'd probably go back for a special sale. Maybe. But I can't see Total Tools being my store of choice into the future.
Boxing Day No Sale – After seeing that Total Tools had an up to 20% off Boxing Day sale I headed in bright and early to grab a bargain, after entering the shop I found that there was practically nothing on sale. After spending $500 I did save $2 on a pair of safety glasses....................... Show details
Friendly Honest and helpful Staff – Went in looking for an M class Vac. They didnt have any in stock, as there is a major shortage. The staff were honest and up front with the problem and gave a realistic time frame when they might get in. I also needed help with a bosch part, and the staff member went out of his way to help.

Great and cheerful service – Doing what they say they will do. Called in the afternoon prior to visit and asked for a stock check on an item, not only did the young lad check the computer but also went and checked the shelf, then put two aside for me. Drove down from the tablelands the next day and sure enough they were set aside with my name on them, no fuss. Cheerful service from the bloke at the register. Definitely will be back. Show details
