I appreciated Yandle’s quick response to my oak bench slats order. The slats and fixings were delivered within days of my placing the order. Only one suggestion for improvement: I got a small splinter... See more

Sabre 250 Bandsaw

First purchase of a band saw and I am really pleased with the quality and ease of using it. Setting up, using the manual was easy, apart from attaching the table, using the 4 bolts. It is really fiddly and took me a long time, leaning down behind the saw. Even after the first bolt has been located, getting the others in is not easy. A much better solution for this would be to put 4 studs into the table, which could then be easily dropped in to the holes and be tightened in with nuts. Most people giving advice on setting up a new blade say that it is much easier to do this with the table off. So next time I take the table off I am going to use studs and nuts.

Record Sabre 300

I purchased a Record Sabre 300 from Yandle's. I am extremely happy with the bandsaw it was well worth the money. It has all the requirements I was looking for when comparing bandsaws. You can change the blade easily without taking of the fence rail. The blade tension can be slackened or tensioned easily by moving a lever. The blade guides are a breeze to adjust no tools required and easy to see the bottom guides. The deal from Yandel's sweetened the pot, I ended up with 5 blades and a base cabinet all in the price which was reduced as well. The delivery took only a few days and communication was good.

The staff in the store couldn't have been more helpful and happy to give good advice.
I ordered the chuck online and was pleased how quickly it was dealt with, I will definitely use Yandles in future. The chuck is so well made very impressive.

Great value and lovely quality bench-slats, correct size and number, prompt delivery. Felt I was dealing with real, actual people who know what they're talking about when I had a query about my order.

Exceptional Quality and Service

1st time using Yandles so left it a while before reviewing. The Razortip SL1 is an absolute powerhouse in Pyrography. I purchased that and some tips and everything has more than met my expectations. Delivery and email support was first class and I've already emailed in connection to placing a further order. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ten stars from me.

It’s great visiting Yandel’s except the cafe

It’s great visiting Yandel’s. There’s plenty of parking and the tool shop is a wood turner’s paradise. The craft and gift shop has lots to offer and is great for unusual gifts. But give the cafe a wide berth. The staff are pleasant but the service is slow, the food is mediocre and the coffee is awful. They’re either very mean with the amount of coffee they use or they use cheap and poor quality coffee. There must be better places to eat in Martock.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate your kind words about the Tool Shop & Gift Shop.
We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience in the café didn't meet your expectations. We always want our customers to enjoy both the food and service, so it’s disappointing to hear we fell short for you. If you'd brought it to our attention at the time, we would have done our best to make things right.
Regarding the coffee — we use Puro, which is a Fairtrade brand that also supports rainforest preservation projects in the coffee-growing regions. We chose it for its ethical sourcing as well as its quality, though of course, we understand that taste can be very personal. We typically serve a single shot as standard, so it’s possible the strength wasn’t quite to your liking.
As for the pace of service, we aim to provide freshly prepared food, which can sometimes take a little longer, especially during busy periods. We’re always looking at ways to improve, and your feedback will help us with that.
Thanks again for your comments, we hope you’ll consider giving the café another try in the future.
