Obsolete ? No problem !

Having lost the ratchet drive for my 20 year old Draper socket set, I contacted Rhys Turner at Customer Service, he sent a detailed and accurate reply asking for measurement and further information, and suggested a 'closest match' replacement for the now obsolete item... The new ratchet drive arrived fits perfectly in the old carry case saving me time, money and hassle.

VERY HAPPY !

Excellent customer services

Contacted customer service regarding a spare part and received and received a very prompt response stating they’d shipped the small connector free of charge and sent a product code for the spare part for future reference. You don’t get better service than that. I dealt with someone called Fran who has been extremely helpful….thank you!

Five Star Service

I had purchased a 24 litre oil less compressor.
So had a couple of components missing from the packaging, so got in touch with Draper Customer Services and spoke to a Rob Darby, what a professional and friendly guy who instead of sending me back to the whole salers from whom I purchased it from he took it upon himself to sauce the missing components and is getting the items directly sent out to me instead of more wasteful time going around to whole salers for them then waste more time getting in touch with Draper to then send the missing parts he did it in one phone call from me the now a happy customer which in turn gets the parts to me faster, a five star service so far…..

Excellent value for money, I have tried many cordless drills and the D20 as outlasted even the expensive DeWalt, I would highly recommend as I have had this for over a year and the battery and drill still perform as good as the day I bought it

i ordered a Draper Planer 7 months ago from Amazon .Unfortunately due to illness I didn't open the box and it was placed on a shelf. When I opened it recently I found parts were missing from the box, when I contacted Amazon they advised me to contact Draper direct, I did this and advised them of the circumstances, within a few days I received a new planer. this I consider to be excellent customer service. Thank you Draper.

Excellent Customer Service

I contacting Draper as I wanted clarification as to which accessory I needed for one of their products. They responded quickly, and the reply from Rhys in Customer Service was incredibly comprehensive. He was courteous and took time to provide several links for me, not only with details of the part I required, but also with several places to get hold of it. Excellent work. Thanks, Draper, and thanks, Rhys.

I purchased a pressure washer (98679) from an authorised Draper seller via eBay. After inspecting the pressure washer I noticed that a particular screw was missing that fastened a bottom hose tray onto the washer itself. I contacted Draper customer support to ask if it was possible to send me the missing screw. Fran answered my email quickly and asked if I could point out the specific part required from a detailed parts diagram of the washer. Once I confirmed the required part number Fran arranged to have it posted out to me free of charge. This is fantastic customer service and after having read the many other great reviews left by customers I am very impressed! I will definitely be buying further Draper products based on their quality and the way customer service is handled. Great job Draper. Please pass on my kind regards to Fran and to your company as a whole.

Great item and service

Great item and service. I had an issue with fitting one of the shelves and approached the customer service team who reviewed the video I sent, got technical support and solved the issue, sending me a return video which worked a treat. The unit itself if superbly built and finished and everything makes a satisfactory click or glides into place. It is a lovely addition to my garage.
