Terrible service – Ordered a compressor and nozzle in February and did not receive any info about the ETA for the compressor. Called and they only answered on the third go with a promised call back which I never received. Called again the next week and still had no help. Contacted online support and found out it was on back order. Still waiting to receive it as they keep pushing back the arrival time Show details
Not the most extensive of ranges – Quite a few options in a very small group of brands. Otherwise not a lot of choice. Went in to purchase a Milwaukee kit, price was higher than when I had checked online (granted it was a while ago). End up getting a smaller kit than I really wanted and then tried to get a socket set... not much choice there. Again, ended up settling for a smaller set than I wanted. Not real happy with the service. Bit lacking. Show details
A great store with a great range of Products – The store was very busy and the staff were struggling to keep up with the Customers in store. It was hard to speak to a staff member about the products I was interested in. Rostering of staff needs to be looked at so that staff and pushed beyond their limits. I finally got some help and the products I needed. Show details

Good sales service experience brings customers back – Recently I purchased a petrol powered pressure washer from our local Total Tools. I will review the tool separately, this review if regarding the excellent service this outlet continues to provide. I had done my research online made the phonecall to check availability and rocked on up to purchase. There were 7 items in stock as informed by… Read more
phone, it turns out they were a different brand, specification and price point (100 dollars less) than the website. The website didn't accurately list the specifications so the staff found what I needed to know by other means.
I then spent the saved money on upgraded accessories rather than travelling back just in case I needed them.
The bottom line is when sales staff and company policy are welcoming to your customers those customers often upsell themselves.
I there is any criticism at all it would be reserved for the website (both internally and externally) as it could be easier for both staff and customers to get hold of accurate data. The website does continue to improve, this is just a suggestion where the improvement could be well targeted.
I wish I knew about this place earlier – As soon as I entered the store. I received a friendly welcome and was asked if I was looking for something in particular? Which I was. Within moments I was shown where it was and there were quite a few different ones to choose from. I seriously couldn’t believe how much stock was in this place. I must admit by the time I got to the checkout,… Read more
I’d picked up quite a few other tools as well. While paying, I joined up as a member and before I even got out to my car, I received an email of my invoice. Unbelievable! Now that’s service. Cheers Paul

Looking for Rigging frogs – The staff were friendly but the stock of riggers frogs for tools was very limited. The pricing for those there was ok though. There are a lot of scaffolders and riggers in the Mackay region so this was rather disappointing Show details
