tool broken but no replace tool policy. send to repare for couple weeks no lend tool policy. left no tool to work for couple weeks. better shop from Bunnings instead
False Advertising – This store touts that they have a price match guarantee. When I requested one I was told they couldn’t match it because the competitor didn’t have a physical store in QLD, when I told them that the competitor did in fact have a store in QLD, their next excuse was that they would not make any money on the sale if they price matched. What is the point of advertising lowest price guaranteed if you won’t honour it?

Great service – Came into the store to purchase mitre saw, was served pretty much straight away, was helped with my stupid questions, and given advise on the saw blades. Couldn’t fault the service. I will be back to this store to get more stuff when needed. Show details
Performs very well – Purchased Milwauke door lock install kit. Had read reviews on line which is why I purchased. Easy to use and allowed me to readily install new locks into existing doors which required larger diameter holes. The clamping detail simple to use and effective. Had to figure out how to fit the 25 dia core hole to the drill attachment (needed to unscrew fitting for the 54 dia and reverse). Did 4 sets in the afternoon, another 2 sets to go. Show details
Good customer service – Buying a misting fan - not in stock in east Brisbane - your man looked it up and searched where I could find one - rang that store and checked and got it held Show details

Poor Service – This is the second time we have come to this store to purchase and we have received absolutely no help despite having lots of staff on. We came today to buy a new drop saw and couldn’t find exactly what we were looking for, they mostly appeared cordless. We were walking around clearly looking confused and not a single staff member offered any… Read more
help. If it was the first time this had happened we probably would have given them the benefit of the doubt but it was the same the last time we came in so we will go and spend our money at Bunnings instead of trying to support another store.
Terrible service – Will never buy from them again as staff do not communicate with their customers as to when their order is arriving or when its arrived and ready for collection Show details
Overpriced or Not Fit For Purpose – Total Tools are greedy and it shows. I purchased a SABER: Belt, Disc and Sander manufactured for Total Tools, for several hundred it's is utterly unfit for purpose. Crooked, bucked like a rodeo horse, I had to return it as it was good for nothing but a door stop. They took it back and told me someone had to look at it before they gave me refund,… Read more
after a week they told me to pick it up again, "that just how they are" they said, and that I was not to be offered a refund. For this reason I advise avoiding them. More generally speaking, in my opinion Total Tools charge absolute top dollar for their mediocre products. And they spin their products as top shelf when they're not, they're low to mid range trade quality (NOT necessarily built to break). But compared to Bunnings' low standards, any tool fit for purpose, and therefore not "DIY", looks good. And that's how Total Tools survive, by pretending they're high quality, when in fact Bunnings has trained us to accept low quality at ever rising prices.
Staff were were good.

Excellent efficient and friendly Service and flexibility – Thank you to Cameron and the other helpful worker at the East Brisbane store. We couldn't have been happier with the service . They quickly helped us find the exact tools we needed with good sensible advice and helped us with the good deals that where happening at Total tools. Thanks you Stuart Show details
Great range and great customer service – This is now my local go-to store. Much better than Bunnings as it has real brands such as festool, proper AEG products etc... Easy access, quick customer service, competitive pricing and reliable on-line stocktake (stock on hand) make it a great place to shop. Show details
Very Helpful – The chap was merchandising he saw me wandering and approached me to assist he was very knowledgeable and assisted me to find what I needed. He then went on to take me up to an empty check out and served me so I didn't have to wait. Very impressed. Show details

Great Service – Went into store to see if there was any chance of a replacement part for hand tool which is in excess of 30 years old. Staff member searched the web found the part, contacted the supplier, and placed the order. Great service Show details
Incredible service, some of the best I’ve ever had! – East bris store, was served by only female employee on site on 13/09/20 (won’t say her name, not allowed). She went above and beyond for me to ensure I was looked after, couldn’t be happier. 11/10 service! Show details
Timing is everything. Right place right time – Needed some 32mm c-brads, searched online,, found in stock at East Brisbane. Walked into the tables of stocktake items, walked out with more than I bargained. Nice deals, great friendly staff, placed my pooch Gordon on the Milwaukee box at checkout while I paid. All-round good experience - all done in 20min. Best deals. Show details
Good old service – The service from les was good old one to one attention, pack with needed information, acourtesy and no pressure to buy anything. Enjoy the shopping experience at total tools East Brisbane. Well done regards Mark Show details
Customer service – Came in store to get a new impact wrench, within minutes I had all the information on the tools themselves and socket sets for the tool. Matt was very helpful with sorting out the tool Show details
Good solid tool at a bargain price – This is a 1500 watt tool for under $100. I’ve given this hammer drill a flogging and its ready for more. Its not a big name brand but I could go through three of these and still have change in my pocket at the cost of a big name brand tool. It’s the best value by far within its class. Show details
East Brisbane Store – Great customer service Item as described by staff member very helpful and professional I recommend this store because the staff know what they are talking about and go out of their way to help you ! Show details
Awesome staff and selection – Great staff, great selection. Would give 4 1/5 stars if I could. 9nly issue was not everything was price tagged like the ladder we needed up buying. Not a big deal but thats the only reason for not five stars. Prices a quite reasonable for diy projects.. Show details
First time customer – Decided to check out Total Tools rather than the big green box I normally go to. They had the tool I was after at a good price too. Will certainly be a returning customer. Show details

Very happy customer : – I went to your Woolloongabba store to purchase a sander. I am not much of a handyman but your assistant Brendan was extremely helpful when I explained what I wanted to do. He went out of his way to explain how it worked and what grade sandpaper to use. I really appreciated his help as a lot of places just want to sell the product and get you out the door. I would not hesitate to recommend your store to any of my friends. Show details
Setting up to go diesel fitting again – Excellent service, very helpful with ideas on how to get kits instead of individual tools to save money. All team members work together to help me. Great experience, will definitely keep getting my tools from total tools Show details
sort of service you hope to expect – I just needed a drill bit but was having trouble finding a size with a shank that fitted my drill. Nick was on the till and he was very helpful and we came up with what I hope will be a solution. Show details
The sales guy was good, he really wanted to help – I went in looking to see what I could get out of the M12 specials, I left with 2 products and 2 batteries. Happy shopper in the end and money well spent, just over $400 for a Hackzall and a circular saw with a 2.0Ah battery for each. Show details
Brilliant experience – Happy with everything! Staff were great and very helpful in getting me what I wanted. The range of Makita gear that they stock is awesome. All they need is a better ranger of trimmer bits. Overall Im very happy and will be returning here to shop again. Show details
