Absolute junk

Absolute junk
Bought a mini tool kit and the first time I picked up the pliers to use them the handle snapped off in my hand. Not even going to bother with the rest

Rolson products - avoid!

Bought a Rolson retractable tape which won't retract. Thought it was just a one-off bit of bad luck with the brand however I purchased a Rolson Garden trowel which broke on first use! As it's broken on the weld join it can't be repaired. Wish I'd seen these reviews. Will be avoiding the brand in the future.

Buy cheap

Buy cheap, buy twice. If you're happy to use a tool once and then chuck it out, then fine. Pay a bit more and get quality from almost any other manufacturer. You get what you pay for etc.

Terrible customer service

I've recently bought a Rolson 12" hacksaw from B&M It's exclusively available from them.
There was a blade missing, only 2 supplied and not the 3 as shown on the packaging.
I emailed Rolson and it's been totally ignored' it's certainly not good customer service.
That will teach me to buy Rolson rubbish in the future

And no I would not recommend this company.

Absolute rubbish poor quality tat.

Absolute rubbish poor quality tat.
The Rolson measuring tape that refuses to lock in.
The Rolson spirit level that gives a different version of level depending what way around you put it.
The Rolson screwdriver set with poorly machined useless screwdriver heads.
The Rolson drill bit set where every single drill bit wobbles about as if it were drunk.
I have never come across a brand where every single item they sell is totally useless.
Cheap for a reason. Don't waste your pennies.

Cheap but useless

Cheap but useless. Bought sheers and loppers, blades seem OK but within an hour of use the lopper's hollow handles had split and detached, the sheers misaligned meaning your knuckles bang together each cut and their handle also split and came off. First time using Rolson tools and I think I'll steer clear if their products are so poor.

Poor Quality Titanium Coated drill set

I have a Titanium Coated drill set (ref 48707)
Every drill bit I have used has snapped, so I wasted not only my money but wasted an awful lot of time buying quality replacements.
Cheap rubbish, would definitely not by Rolson again

Cheap tat

Bought a pair of Rolson rotating shears at B&M, blades were blunted after less than half an hour of use. You get what you pay for, and that's cheap tat.

Just wanted to say a huge well done and thank you for sending not just one but 2 of these replacement parts!
It’s so nice to get great customer service support.. it was so easy to email customer service, you replied within a day or so with a request for my address, it then came super quick (arrived a week after I replied to you with my address!)
We are all too quick to complain, but say less often when we are happy.. you really exceeded my expectations... so THANK YOU VERY MUCH Simon!
***Edited - just want to say that some of these low star reviews I’ve seen would have put me off, but the reviews really are quite old. Rolson produces pretty low cost & affordable items. Mainly we should always go back to where we purchased an item as that is who we have an agreement with.. if bought within a year… after that I feel we should have realistic expectations of how long things last! Look up consumer acts on google!

Rolson multitools

I have 2 of these Rolson mini 'Leatherman' tools. I have used and abused them and never had any problem. Quality of manufacture is fit for purpose.

Useless Customer Service

Useless Customer Service, faulty product purchased 2 days ago , and because they no longer market the product , they will offer no assistance in replacing it. I do NOT recommend this company.

Excellent Customer Service

Purchased a long handle brush from a supplier Easy Shopping 4 Home Ltd on Amazon, unfortunately the collar split, but the supplier not interested. Contacted Rolson Tools Customer Service and they are replacing the part. Thank you Simon at Rolson Tools for excellent customer service

Rolson Garden Tools

Bought 3 items, Long handled angle blade lawn shears, 550mm handled loppers, secateurs.
The handles on the shears are so flimsy the thing doesn't cut properly and constantly banging knuckles together because they flex so much.
The secateurs broke within about 30 mins of use.
The lopper handles bent after about an hours use.
Dreadful quality.
