Quality products at reasonable prices, with no problems from ordering to delivery. Happy customer here every time I've made any purchases.
The jig works well, as expected. The box containing the screws was broken in transit and part of the jig had surface damage caused by parts rubbing together. Not the end of the world but disappoint... See more

Unnecessary change in design
Why have Axminster Tools changed the design of their 63mm ducting fittings, the fittings now come as a spigot as opposed to a socket meaning we now have to buy couplings to join to pipes, this is a totally unnecessary change done purely to make their customers pay more

Good morning Mr Clark
Thank you very much for your review
Our 63mm ducting kit has not been changed and has always required joiners to connect the fittings to the pipes.
If you would like to discuss this further please call in on 03332 406 406 and speak to our technical team.
Kind regards

Axminster is a great company
Axminster is a great company, with good offers and products. I just bought the Perform table saw, which arrived fully intact and on time. I have switched the saw on and all seems to be well except it is noisier than I expected and is a little rattly. I will see if that settles down with some use.
