“Delivery and product was great. Only 3 stars because no PDF invoice was emailed; easy paperwork makes all the difference!!”

“value for money jobber drill standard - not a replacement for a carbide NC drill (won't take the feed rates) broke 3mm on second hole - tip geometry not perfect - would use again though now knowing what to expect”

“I ordered a core drill bit - would have been useful to have the length of the bit stated on the web- site. Will make the job longer”

“I wanted some sets of metric taps and dies to cut threads. The website was unclear if the dies were HSS (or carbon steel) and if they were split or not. I queried both points and was assured by email that the dies were HSS and split - I then placed an order on this basis. On delivery, the taps were all good, but the dies, whilst HSS, were not split. This means the tolerance of the thread being cut cannot be altered, which is a significant problem. I queried this as a possible manufacturing mistake, but I was then assured, contrary to my first enquiry, that all dies supplied by UK Drills were not split. I was offered, and accepted, a full refund for the dies. I also found later that the outside diameter of these dies was a mm or so less than my die stock holder, which fits all of my split dies made by Presto etc, perfectly. In conclusion, the website description needs to be much clearer about ALL of these important details and, when queries are made, the answers should be helpful and accurate, rather than false and misleading. Otherwise, the goods appear to be decent quality and value.”

“Drill bits arrived in good time. I have been unable to use the bits on a planned task as yet due to bad weather, so cannot honestly comment on quality of the purchased product.”

“The service from UK Drills was good, however the quality of the drill bits were absolutely rubbish.. 10x 5.5 sds bits and within 2 days all were in the bin. Won't be buying again.”

“Disappointed to report 2 of the drills have broken being used for the first time. Drilling 3 and 4 mm holes in 16mm soft wood. Other than quality issues, service is good.”

“Great except why did I have to buy 10 identical drill bits when I only needed 1?”

“Delivery was an issue. I paid £3.50 delivery on a £2 drill bit as I needed it. It was delivered in an envelope 5 days later. This is down to Royal Mail but it reflects badly on UK Drills.”

“The drills themselves were of good quality and did the jobs I bought them for perfectly well. The metal case they were in however was of poor quality and at first would not open. Eventually I managed to twist and turn and bend the metalwork inside so that the case opened properly. Convenience is important to me and I would not purchase these again although the drills cannot be faulted.”

“Ordered two 1 metre long masonry drills at 12 o'clock on Monday, they arrived at 3 o'clock Tuesday. Wonderful service. Thank you”

“Not sure. I ordered some bits especially to drill stainless steel. Either this particular steel was impossibly hard, or those tungsten tipped bits were not as good as expected. Ordinary good quality bits did just as well, equally bad, actually. It might be down to my lack of experience, although I am well used to tools, building, etc.”

“I always bought drills from this company. Last year I bought a set of drill bits from this company. I gave a very good feedback without checking the quality (I trusted this company ). The drills are crooked. You can't trust anyone.”

“Drills arrived on time but packaging was inadequate as both drills were bent on arrival and I had to straighten them ( not a trivial task ) before they could be used. Once straightened they did the job perfectly.”
