Still Feeling The Love

by

Just a quick note to recognise the kind feedback I keep receiving and express my gratitude for all your business and interest in Vintage Hand Tools. It’s a labour of love that enables me to find some things that would otherwise have been lost or condemned.

Heres a flavour:

All arrived this morning – thank you. Well packed and with a lovely personal note too. It’s a lovely item which I’ll have a lot of pleasure having in my collection.
Many thanks, – Dave L

I remain committed to delivering the best possible service and am, as ever, grateful to my customers.

I’ve probably mentioned to a lot of customers individually that I have a mountain of tools still yet to list hence I’ve had to hold off buying so much lately, so if you are looking for anything specific, chances are I might have one so please get in touch.

More tool loveliness that’s come my way recently:

Just had an email that’s really brightened my day and reinforces why I really enjoy what I do on here at Vintage Hand Tools.

Here it is:

Hi Neil, set arrived and very pleased with it absolutely as described and perfect for me.  Kind regards Jon

I always aim to deliver the best possible service and remain grateful to my customers who support the venture. (Thanks to you all).

 

It’s gratifying to find these tools and move them onto genuine tradespeople and collectors, knowing they’ve hopefully found a good home and are back doing what they were made to do.

I’ve also come to realise I should perhaps leverage the feedback I get and set up a testimonial section on the website (note to self).

Here’s a few more (amongst many) positive comments I’ve received lately:

Thanks Neil Very surprised to find that this was “vintage” and not sold anymore- I bought mine nearly 45 years ago but have mislaid it- so useful and portable
Hi Neil Thank you for the follow up, all good thanks evri delivered yesterday morning. Kind regards George 
Hi Neil  Bevel received today all good  Many thanks Graham 
Hi Neil, Just received the spokeshave, it’s in excellent condition (I don’t think it has ever been used, still has the factory grind on the blade and linisher marks on the base).  I’m always on the look out for the odd item, I’m tooling up for the retirement workshop that will have to included the odd taught session with clients, so it was good to find another source of quality older tools.
Hi Neil. The square has arrived. It is a nice one in good order. Actually I need it to replace the missing one in my combination set. God knows where it went. Maybe I machined it into something in a moment of madness. The rule will come in very handy. Thanks for excellent service. All the best Mike.
Good Morning Neil, Just to let you know that the planes arrived in great condition and I’m very pleased. Thanks for getting them away quickly (Evri can be a law unto themselves) and for the great communication. I have bookmarked your site in my online tool sites. Good luck with the website. Thanks again. Matt

So that’s all I have for today as I happily type with a smiley face and warm, fuzzy feeling.

Have a look at the latest tools listed and all around the site. Hopefully there’s something that will tickle you and you can be confident you’ll always receive the same service.

Neil
