Reasonable Prices, Super Fast Shipment
The only slight query we have had with this order is that the dowels were shown as 12.7mm so our job was prepared for this size. In actuality the size was only 12mm therefore causing rectification with the job in hand.

Simple, swift and great.
Good quality product and service.
Very happy with the Oak dowels. they arrived well packaged and in the time window suggested. I was kept well informed by email and was very happy with the level of communication. A good quality product with good service, you can't really ask for any more than this!
Great product and first class service
I ordered some oak dowels primarily because of the very competitive pricing.
The dowels arrived extremely promptly and were very well packaged to avoid damage. When I unwrapped them I found out why - they are some of the best quality dowels I have bought (and I have used a lot in the past).
I will certainly use Tools and Timber again and would highly recommend them.
5 stars all the way
delivered next day , superb quality , will be using again
Great service, quick and informative
As above, very quick, and good communication.
Nice Friendly Folks - Good advice, superb prices & excellent delivery service !
The team at Tools and Timber are a credit to the wood working industry. They provide a nice friendly approach with excellent knowledge of their products. I found their prices to be most competitive and provided a superb delivery service. They are also very much eco-friendly and seem to be in-tune with ensuring wood preservation facilities are adhered to... If your looking for good for wood service then Tools and Timber are the team to go to... Well done and keep up the good work !
Great service for a small purchase
I purchased a few oak dowels of different sizes, which arrived in darkest Cornwall promptly and are of excellent quantity. A small purchase but I am well impressed.
Prompt but wrong!!
I PLACED MY ORDER AT 3PM ON THE FRIDAY AND IT ARRIVED ON THE TUESDAY AT 8 30AM AS MONDAY WAS A BANK HOLIDAY SO IN MY OPINION VERY PROMPT. UNFORTUNATELY THE DOWELS SELECTED FOR DISPATCH WERE THE WRONG SIZE BUT A QUICK PHONE CALL AND REPLACEMENTS WERE ORGANISED FOR A NEXT DAY DELIVERY.
ALL STAFF I SPOKE TO WERE PLEASANT AND HELPFULL.

Excellent delivery beating expectations
The site is nice to navigate as it responds quickly and everything seems easy to find with enough pictures to coax one into exploring. As I was looking for carving accessories it took a while to spot Wood Carving but hey it is obvious when you know.
The site promises 1-4 days delivery and it arrived next day beating the expectation.
Definitely somewhere I'll buy from again and soon.
easy order/fast delivery
a clear website. I ordered my bessey duoklamps from Toolsandtimber because they were keenly priced. postage was not to expensive and the order arrived three days later. i am very pleased with my new clamps and can recommend Toolsandtimber.
An excellent service. Faultless.
Product (lime wood blanks) well finished. Beautifully packed against harm. Arrived earlier than expected. Full marks all round.
great choice
found the website clear and concise , found exactly what I was looking for , particularly for beginners :)
Excellent service!
Easy to use website, quick and helpful correspondence, very well packaged, speedy delivery! Highly recommended !!!

Great value, great communication, great...
Ordered from these guys for the first time. Arrived far quicker than I expected and faster than anything normally does.
I emailed a question - got a sensible and prompt answer.
Top service - thank you.
Experts
In fact they are probably better than expert, if that were possible.
not ready out the box
First purchase in the [link] range and its not as good as i had hoped. Machine marks on the back are obvious and at this price i was expecting a polished finish. The chisel is sharp though.

Very efficient, I would buy from them again.
The web page was easy to access , email confirming order was sent immediately and goods arrived well packed without damage within the stated time frame. I would have no hesitation in buying from this company again or recommending it to anybody else.
