Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Selling my unused tools.

I sent off my photos of all the tools I wanted to sell and by the same evening I had a reply with a quote. I accepted the quote and a collection time was agreed on the next day, (that quick).
Michael arrived on time and was very professional and very friendly. Tools sorted and put on his van, a chat, and he was soon on his way.
Highly recommended and trustworthy.
Great communication, efficient, friendly and personal.
Very happy with the service I received and glad the tools will be refurbished and used again rather than sitting on a shelf.
Thank you.

Like everyone in the trade I had boxes of unused good quality tools in the garage, Which I was never actually going to use again!
I gave Michael a call too see what his company could offer, sent some pics over, he offered me a price, I accepted, he collected and bought them, easy!!
Very professional and highly recommended.

Great Service

I have sadly had to give up my woodturning hobby and was faced with disposing of my woodworking power and hand tools.
This process was made much easier when dealing with Michael at UK Tool Buyer, who bought all my tools at a fair price. The process was very straight forward and simple. I would recommend Micheal at UK Tool Buyer to anyone faced with the same situation.

Michael came last year and helped me clear my garage of all my husband’s wood working and garage tooling. He was very pleasant and helpful and gave me a good price. I would fully recommend Michael.

I recently purchased a Dewalt…

I recently purchased a Dewalt reciprocating saw and I am very pleased with it, the service and communications from UK Tool buyer. The item was posted and received very quickly in good packaging. I will certainly use them again.
