My Draper pump developed a fault and needed a spare part. Draper Support were amazing and provided it to me very quickly, for no charge, and I was able to fix the pump, so it is now good as new.

Jaw, Jaw provided the right result.

I have an ancient riveter and unfortunately I broke one of the small jaw components and tried high and low to get a replacement. I found on various websites a jaw replacement pack (2 piece) but unfortunately I couldn’t find the measurements of the jaw pices. So I contacted Draper Tools and a young man went out of his way to provide the measurements of these jaw pieces. They are a perfect fit for my riveter and I have placed the order for the spares. Well Done Draper Tools.

As you know “owning a petrol pressure washer is expensive “ and when things go wrong, we as the customer need 10/10 customer support from the manufacturers…..that is exactly what I got! 10/10 customer service. A phone call was made to customer services and within 2 short emails the issue was not only resolved but the part needed was in the post the same day!

James is the gentleman’s name in customer services and he was 10/10

Have confidence in buying drapper 👍💫

Fantastic customer service

I spoke to James at customer service regarding an issue about a battery charger. He went out of his way to help resolve the issue. I was so greatful, especially as this charger was an older model & discontinued. Can't thank him enough. If this is the standard of their company policy, they deserve 5 stars & more.

Buy with confidence from DRAPER Tools.

You ask.....
'What is this company doing well'
I had an issue with a Draper Expert Tool that was about to cause me a problem in proceding with a job in hand.
The 5 Star award I've given is the ultimate accolade for the very speedy and satisfactory way they handled my problem, also all credit to them for the ability to deal with a person and not some AI frustrating system.
Many Thanks to the team at Draper Tools especially 'G' .....
KUDOS to Draper Tools.

I have always had excellent service from this company any time i have phoned for information. Most recently both James and Trevor were very helpful and most importantly very patient with a 83 year young customer trying to solve a problem with my planer thicknesser, which i think will soon be rectified.
I will have no hesitation in recommending Draper.

Wheels are to close together so on uneven ground it wobbles and can roll over. The trigger does not turn off. Spray pattern is not that good despite trying to adjust it. When the pipe is gathered up the spray handle is not held securely on the unit and can fall to the ground. 14 months after purchase it is leaking air and so pressure keeps dropping. Amazon customer services first class
