Record Power Magnetic LED Work Light with Flexible Neck

I bought this work light to use with my bandsaw because the lamp that was fitted was faulty. This Record lamp is strong and the magnets are powerful enough to hold it securely in place. There is the option of using the magnet in the base of the lamp or for other positions the bracket can be snapped into place with its own magnet. The light emitted is plenty bright enough. It can be used with 3 x AA batteries or 1 x lithium battery or with the USB cable. Well worth the price.

This was my first bandsaw purchase

This was my first bandsaw purchase. Looked at the cheaper options and watched a few you tube videos then decided to buy the Record Power BS250. Suits my purposes very well for a first bandsaw. The only bad thing is the rip fence, but after watching many you tube videos, it can be changed for an Axminster rip fence that is much better for only £20. Why Record Power don’t improve this for a few quid is beyond me. Apart from the fence this machine is great.

Why indicate delivery is 'from free'…

Why indicate delivery is 'from free' when none of the options fulfill this. Quite frankly, if you cannot get something as transparent as delivery correct, it does not inspire confidence on dealing with you.

I am sorry to read that you were disappointed with the delivery information we provide on our website.
I have attempted to reach out for more details to address your concerns directly, but unfortunately our request for contact information has been declined?
To clarify, we offer hundreds of products with free delivery, and where delivery charges do apply, they are calculated based on the delivery postcode and location. This means many areas and items do indeed qualify for free delivery, which is why we state that delivery is "from free."
I would be interested in learning more about the order you wanted to place with us so I can review the delivery cost, if you would like to contact us directly: sales@yandles.co.uk
Kind regards,
Adam

Yandles is a fantastic company to buy…

Yandles is a fantastic company to buy from.
The woodturning blanks are really high quality, and are the sizes they advertise
( not all suppliers are this accurate)
Everything arrives really quickly and each delivery gets better and better

I first discovered Yandles seven years…

I first discovered Yandles seven years ago and was made to feel welcome from the moment I stepped into the shop. Since then it has become my number one woodwork supply shop; so much so that I made an eight hour round trip to buy a lathe. Everyone is so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

Great experience

The website was easy to navigate to find what I was looking for, they kept me up to date whith the different stages between ordering and delivery. Quick delivery time. Will definitely be using them again. The product I bought was the Razertip SL3 burner.

Unhelpful staff

My 90 year old father went into the tool section recently and just needed a blade, it was just before closing but it was a very quick sale. Unfortunately the person behind the counter was rude and very unhelpful yes he probably wanted to go home but my dad was literally in the shop a few minutes. If he hadn't needed this blade he would have walked out but certainly will think about going there again.

I'm very sorry to read about your father's recent experience - I have reached out to you directly to offer a personal apology. Although your visit was at closing time and our team was wrapping up for the day, that is no excuse for poor service. It is disappointing to know we fell short on this occasion. I truly hope your father will consider giving us another try.
Kind regards,
Adam

Great company to deal with

I have dealt with Handles a couple of times now. I love scrollsaw working and can get through blades quickly if I get too far into a job. I need replacement blades quickly and Handles has always given fast and great service

Replacement bench slats…

I ordered a sapele replacement bench slat set which arrived quickly. The wood was selected carefully and finished well. One slat was damaged in transit and I received a replacement the next day. The bench is as good as new again. Staff were very helpful throughout.

Fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable service

FAO Dan (Machinery Sales).
I came into Yandles on Saturday afternoon, and ended up purchasing a Record Power PT310HB Planer/Thicknesser. This was delivered yesterday afternoon, unpackaged and tested yesterday evening.
The entire process was a pleasant experience, and I am really pleased with both the quality of the product and the superb finish of machined items. The beds will need very slight tweaking, and a minute adjustment to the fence is called for, but superb.
I received a warm and friendly welcome at Yandles, and will definitely be back again.
