Incredible price for an item that I have been tracking over a number of weeks and different companies. Yandle and Sons was an extremely competitive price in some cases, over £100 in difference. The quality of the product is first class, delivery time was extraordinarily quick. The whole process was fantastic, I would highly recommend them and will be using this company again, in fact I've already added a couple of items to my wish list

Excellent Sapele bench set slats

Sapele bench set slats were delivered quickly and were well packaged. Nicely machined timber, requiring minimal sanding before applying a finish. The stainless steel bolt set was also well put together to complete the package. As usual delivery was quick and hassle free!

Great experience

Great experience. Item arrived within a few days and had tracking updates the whole time. Product seems pretty decent, maybe a little higher priced just for the auto function compared to no auto versions

Nice having the auto feature but I feel it should stay on for 30 seconds - one minute rather than a few seconds.

Only used it a little bit on a disc sander but seems ok so far, doesn’t get all the dust but might be the sanders design

New tyre for my Sabre 350

I ordered a new tyre for my Sabre 350 bandsaw (drive wheel).
Really good communication about despatch and it's a genuine R Power item. Price was competitive.
The bandsaw is now running like new. I hadn't realised how detrimental the dirty old belt was to the smooth running of the machine.
I can recommend Yandles with confidence.

Amazing quality products and service

I found this retailer online because I was looking for replacement bench slats. They have a great range and I was able to find exactly what I wanted.

The quality of the product I received is fantastic, the shopping process was simple, emails were informative on delivery, and it turned up when expected.

I will definitely be shopping with them again and suggest you look no further and shop here.

Great supplier and great products

This is the third purchase from Yandle & Sons, and every one has been great. From the moment of ordering to delivery you are kept advised.The price is always the most competitive, delivery is very quick, and products are of the highest quality.
Our last repeat order was a Charnwood DC50 Auto, which is excellent in use. It runs very quietly, and the auto function is ideal for small workshop use.
I would highly recommend both Yandle’s and Charnwood products.

What an amazing price for this product

What an amazing price for this product! I was disappointed to learn that my order could not be fulfilled straightaway as they had sold out. I wasn’t surprised about this, but I was pleasantly surprised in how they kept me informed as to when the new stock was arriving. They did manage to get new stock and sent it out to me straight away. Fantastic service!

Bought 4 of these to replace just the broken slats on a 20 year old bench. They looked so good they made the remaining slats look awful, forcing me to buy another 7 to to finish the job properly. Damn you yandles for being too good.

Times and norms change don’t they..

Times and norms change don’t they. Some years ago I would’ve gone to a local hardware store and bought this drill bit (admittedly I may have had to have driven there and maybe, now, if I still drove I’d know where the hardware store is that would sell these excellent drillbits). I don’t drive anymore (or fly…) but I do like to use good tools and Famag I certainly am amongst the best. About £2 for this drill bit and I’m not blaming Yandel and sons, that’s the changes of the World with online shopping: £7.50 is a real cost of this bit that’s £2.50 a millimetre, said the actress to the bishop… ;-)

So in this present era as it is Yandle & Sons customer service, packaging and delivery were good and if you, like me, have to find your things online I would recommend Yandle & Sons as a supplier

Package well and arrived/ delivered quickly.
Quality of slats not brilliant and have a couple of rough ones which will take away the beauty of the bench I am rebuilding.
I will contact by phone tomorrow and see if the company are willing to send out replacements.
I will be running the router down the edge too pencil edge each slat as edges are square so will be sharp otherwise.

Matter has now been resolved and they have agreed to replace the damaged slats, prompt service in getting this matter resolved

Items were great

Items were great, however the packaging was terrible. They were delivered open at one end with slight damage. Obviously an on going courier problem.
Had to chase company for dispatch time, communication poor.

Hi Joseph, really sorry to read the packaging broke open in transit. We wrap the Timber as best possible for carriage, but yours was clearly not robust enough to cope with the couriers. We will review this process to see if there are any improvements we can implement moving forward.

Yandles customer service is excellent as always. However the courier they use are terrible. Got so fed up with waiting being told it was out for delivery when it wasn't lied to by the courier office staff. This awful service reflects badly on Yandles which is a first class company.
