Excellent service from order to delivery. Quality of materials and construction is very high, clear instructions. It has allowed me to combine three separate tool boxes, into one portable unit, with sufficient draws to allow grouping of all my tools. Very happy, and an excellent price too.

Bought an air ratchet set from SGS.

It failed after 30 seconds attached to an air line with no load. Initial response was that I needed to buy a bigger compressor. Then they suggested we should up the air pressure above their recommended operating pressure. Then they said that they could not take a return on a used product. On their site they claim to have a 60 day returns policy and a 2 year warranty. How is this a used product?

Would never use this company again.

8 drawer tool chest
September 12, 2018

Unit was a good price, delivered quickly, easy to assemble. Put together in 10 minutes. Good value for money. Courier used gave an hour time slot on day of delivery and was prompt and polite. Unit itself is good with plenty of room for my tools. Casters help it move really smoothly and added hooks on side are good for hanging regularly used spanner's on. Unit arrived and undamaged. Very happy with purchase and would definitely use SGS again.

Tough tools
February 4, 2019

Purchased a chain saw, 20" came with tools and a spare chain, has worked brilliantly and without any fault lobbing down a palm tree. Great tool at a fair price for domestic use with good instructions on how to se, stay safe and maintenance. Top dollar. I would recommend any of my friends to look at SGS 1st, to gauge price, value and the build quality against other brands.

Ordered two 3 ton low profile garage trolley jacks, these are heavy but build quality looks great and very robust. Ordering process was simple, communication was great and delivery next day was spot on. Would certainly recommend SGS.

On purchasing a gas strutt only to find it didn't fit. I returned and SGS have said they will not refund as there was a minuscule scratch on it. The strut had only been taken out of the packaging to see if it was fit for purpose and then packed away again. I don't see how I scratched it. They supplied a photograph and was clearly a very small scratch. This company was easy to take my money but not very forthcoming to give it back. BEWARE!

Sons birthday
July 27, 2018

We bought our son a strimmer from sgs as he works with the council doing the same thing
On opening the box straight a way you can see this hasn't been thrown this is something built to last he absolutely loves it and says it's a joy to use.
I certainly don't have issues with recommending this to anyone you won't be disappointed

I've been buying products from SGS for quite a while now. A compressor, tools, axle stands and wheel dollies and consumables to name a few. Never had a problem and always dealt with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Certainly wouldn't consider any other supplier. Added bonus of dealing with a UK company.

I bought an SGS mechanics tool cart, reading the product lisiting i had all the information i needed to make a purchase key dimensions were easy to see on the page which sold it for me. I paid via paypal which was another convenience. The item arrived very quickly to my address in northern ireland (the additional postage cost was upfront and reasonable). I was very pleased with the item it has significantly improved my workflow when working around cars.

I had a plastic cowling on a compressor that was damaged during transit. I bought the item a year ago but had not unboxed it yet.

SGS replaced it immediately no questions asked. This is why i keep buying their products, great quality, and excellent service!

I found SGS is an excellent company to deal with, they dealt with my emails with respect and responded to them quickly. They made me feel a valued customer, and that the customer was actually important to them, they put other companies to shame. They also provided a super speedy despatch of the ordered parts which arrived well packed and perfectly made for the job. Hence why I have given 5 stars but they actually deserved 10 stars

I can recommend this company without any hesitation, based on my experience

Super fast delivery and great communication. They did everything they said they would which is all you want really! Yes I could get same item a little cheaper but not with the same service and next day delivery that this company supplied.

Being relatively new to the world of compressors, usually use gas / electric operated nail guns. Thought i would give air a whirl. Found the website to be well laid out and explanations were both clear and understandable. Delivery was incredibly fast i. E next morning (paid the extra). I have been using the compressor and nail gun over the weekend and has proved to be worthy investment

A comprehensive and thorough service was provided by SGS, providing a high quality well made piece of equipment. I'd recommend SGS, for competitive pricing and a prompt delivery. I'll look forward to dealing again with them soon.

Underrated company
January 4, 2019

Just bought a compressor. A mechanics tool chest and other various tools from sgs. I'm so impressed with the quality of these items and with free next day delivery it was a fantastic consumer experience. They seem to have the balance between quality and price just right. They will be my go to supplier from now on. Very impressive UK company

I'll be back!
October 22, 2018

Very impressed. Seamless support from start to finish and my package arrived earlier than expected. Not only did I find the gas struts I required but also an informative instructional video on the product page I could review prior to purchase in case I required any specialist tools to complete the job.

I was amazed how efficiently my purchase was dealt with despite my ringing and asking for accessories to be added, which they were without any problems. I haven't used it yet, but it's all present and correct and I'm looking forward to having a go!
