I wonder where everyone gets their tools from online? I'm always looking for a bargain so it's always good to know as many sources as possible! I know a few places that have been good in the past.. screwfix is the obvious example, but I find some of the smaller places offer much better value and service!
where does everyone buy their tools from on the net?

I can tell you a place not to buy from - Transtools.co.uk. Poor delivery and even worse customer support. The website claims the call handlers are helpful and knowledgeable about the products and orders, but the order tracking is non existant, and they never call you back. Avoid...
I quite agree, I got a dodgy worktop jig from them that resulted in a scraped worktop - they weren't the slightest bit interested.HandyHands said:
Ebay if you know what you are looking for.

Axminster Power Tool Centre
Great service and fast delivery - they have a very wide selection of quality workshop machinery too.

D&M tools twickenham, delivery way too fast for me ! Look out for deals, not always the cheapest. Toolstation are good, Axminster are good, sell a slightly off norm set of tools, great for wood working stuff, even good old screwfix are good after having gone through a very ropey patch when relocating their warehouse a couple of years back
that's great thanks guys - i'll check some of these out. I find recommendations are the most useful way to know how good a place is. A lot of places are really great on price, but so useless on service - no point in getting something really cheap if they can't get it to you, or not help if something goes wrong!
My recommendations would be;
Axminster - used them a few times, always had good service and some good deals - i see most of you seem to find the same
The Toolbag (www.thetoolbag.com) - used to use these a bit online, but their site doesn't seem to work anymore - just says to phone them instead, which is a shame as they had quite a well laid out site. Did anyone else ever use these?
Powertools2u (www.powertools2u.co.uk) - I first used these cos a mate recommended them for how cheap they were - they seem really great on price for most of their power tools especially, and always seem to be doing deals with freebies etc - great service too which was refreshing! Has anyone ever used these as well?
I've never used transtools and don't think I will based on what you say!
