“Really cool tool”

James B.
7/19/20

Have used a few times since they arrived. They work as described. If you take your time and are careful the hole is perfect. Drill bit and square hole punch are extremely sharp, just what you want in this kind of tool.

“Be Careful What You Wish For”

Harold F.
3/30/24

Sanrico is a well marketed product line with a shady distribution process. I placed an order on their website and paid with Paypal. The order was billed from eKomerco. That company has a very shady website. The customer service email returns an error. BE FOREWARNED. I was also billed another amount on a different date by eKomerco. I have no recollection of that purchase and can find NO documentation on their site, my email, or on the Paypal site.

I ordered some router bits on November 2023 and still have not received my order as of Jan. 8 2024. I have repeatedly contacted their customer service and been told to be patient because of the volume of parcel packages USPS is dealing with during the holiday season. Two months later I am still without my order. I contacted USPS and they assured me that no product using the tracking number I was given was mailed. TOTAL SCAM

Tip for consumers:
TOTAL SCAM....stay away from anything SANRICO offers

I purchased the Welding rods I couldnt weld anything, I have some previous experience. What was even more aggregating was the customer service. Three emails later still no response, they just respond with an automated email saying someone will get back to you tomorrow morning. Its been a week!

Very disappointed! I bought 7 pieces Ultimate drill bits. $ 39.99 They should easy drill in wood, metal, glass, ceramic…. So showed the video clip how " wonderful" the drill bits are. In reality the first time I drilled 1/8 soft metal, I even not finished the job, when bite went completely a part.(?) I reach customer service writing two times email for return the product but never got any answer from them. They completely ignore customers if you already paid your order. Just be careful! This is scam!

Tip for consumers:
This is scam! Very cheep tools probably made in China. This is NO quality - just garbage. No customer service, after you pay your order they ignore you completely. Wasting your money.

Ordered low Temperature soldering sticks. Order never arrived. Customer service send automated responses to me like …"you are very important…", "we are checking on the status of your order", "allow us to have a couple of days, we have to check what USPS says.". So, this store is a clear scam. Stay away!

I wrote up a review on their web site about the lousy service and wait time to get router bits...Took 27 days to get bits ( 18 days after project was done with Amazon purchase- 4 days delivery) No one answers the phone ( busy all the time and or the web site phone has been dis-connected)...Should have done some research prior to making order...Amazon bits were delivered in 4 days to get the job done and seem to be the same...

Tip for consumers:
Will never order anything ever again from Sanrico.

I purchased the square drill bits, as well as the disc grinder and the sphere grinder, the only thing I've been able to get to actually use, is the sphere grinder. There are absolutely ZERO instructions with ANYTHING you purchase from them. I. e. What equipment do you need to use it with and how to attach it so it will actually work. The drill bits have a smooth base, so nothing to hold it in place with your drill, as soon as it comes into contact with any resistance such as soft wood, it simply stops spinning. Same with the disc grinder wheel. Nothing I've found thus far works to hold them tight enough that they perform in any way. Especially not like they're shown. Beware of this company, it's a total waste of your money. Customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with. Basically, you can send them an email, and will will get the same BS reply each time. Never getting an answer.

Tip for consumers:
Read the reviews! Don't buy anything from these people!

So it has been a month out since I ordered from this company so I thought I would check into them a little further as I still have not received anything. The address they give on their web page is in Newark NJ. However when you look up that address in Google maps, it is a Rutgers University 3 tier parking garage! And the telephone number they list on their website is from San Francisco. Their reviews on all the scammer websites are horrible. Bad customer service, and that's if you can reach them. Bad news all around. So do yourself a favor and buy elsewhere...buyer beware!

I asked for the build plans. (By the way, purchase was August, 2021. We are now in March, 2022). I've asked nicely, begged, pleaded and was told the usual crap about how important I am… that the build plans were being worked on (I think they said they were rewriting book 1). They now won't answer emails. Won't refund my $ and haven't sent the plans.
I wish I could give 0 stars. Steer clear of these snake oil salesmen!

Tip for consumers:
Don’t!

I in the same boat as others here. I bought the drill bit set and the first time I used one the tip broke. Have emailed multiple times and can't get anyone to respond. The drill bits are junk and I think they know it that's why they don't respond and worse it's looking like a scam. I'll never buy from them again.

I ordered the fire splitter drill bit well before Christmas. The order was taking 3 weeks so I reached out to the company via email. They said the order was lost in transit and will send another one out, if the other one comes, keep it as a gift. That order never came and I didn't receive a tracking number.
I then emailed again Christmas night and said I never got the one they sent out again, so they said they were sending out a new one and the tracking number provided shows no move during transit. They will not refund me, they will not get back to me with anything other than saying your package was sent out and you will not be refunded.
So not only did I lose my money, but the person on Christmas who was supposed to get this as a gift never received their gift. Shame on this company. They take your money, don't give you your order and are a scam.

Tip for consumers:
Purchase elsewhere, your order will not come and you won't be refunded.

I ordered some low temp weld rods. They said they were in stock. It took a month to get them. After 2 weeks I asked where my product was. They responded it was on its way, but no date given. Took another 2 weeks. The product arrived wrapped in saran wrap with no labels, no instructions and no safety data sheets. Their website says it works on steel. I cleaned my steel thoroughly and attempted to use it. The product just balls up and rolls off the steel. No adhesion at all. These rods are aluminum and there is no way they can work on steel. I contacted sanrico about this and no response

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy from Sanrico. If you have a problem they won't help you.

The only downloadable doc was the schematic of the box. There were no directions and basically impossible to do without instructions. For example, the tab is 1/4" and the rest of the wood measurements on the schematic is 1/4". Problem is the wood thickness is 3/4". That is when I requested my money back and never heard from them.

Try ebay for great service or Amazon.I can't believe Sanrico service. I would rate it negatively.They remind me of large book with nothing written on the pages*"'. EKomerco claims ownership can't reach them either reverse phone says they are in CA. I was wondering if there's a way to plug up their system. I sent them 3 emails this am. They do answer with same form letter.

Not to deal with them as they are bogus.

Well from reading other reviews I now know that I too have been scammed. Everyone should avoid making any purchase from this company. I recieved a substandard product and reached out for return/refund info. Got the auto reply email stating it was recieved and someone will contact me. Guess what hasn't happened. I have sent several email requesting return info and no response whatsoever.

So I filed a complaint with the FTC and will contact my bank to report a fraudulent charge.

Think twice about purchasing and then think again.

Do not purchase Sanrico

Placed an order two weeks ago, didn't get a confirmation e-mail, sent an e-mail to their customer support they gave me my order number. However, they would not give me the tracking # for the shipment. Sent 4 e-mails, received another one today advising that my shipment was lost and they were resending, but still refuse to give me a tracking number

Tip for consumers:
Go elsewhere, if you can. I am wondering if this is a scam, since they will not give me a tracking number for the package, don't return e-mails, no way to phone them and then they tell me it is lost and they are reshipping, but still no tracking number

I cannot even get a confirmation number for my order, but my credit card was charged 2 weeks ago

My update... As others have included their automated response emails from SCAMRICO, I won't again... I already included a picture of their product which disintegrated on 1st use.
The asses hide behind what it turns out is a French company, with numerous "cutouts" making it impossible to get to anyone... Again, another Pinterest advertised company, SCAMRICO, they should be considered the worst of the worst, as they delay and delay and then tell you the time has passed for them to do anything... They truly suck as human beings and as a business.

Tip for consumers:
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, SCAMRICO !!!!!!! (aka Sanrico)

Products used:
I never got a refund or replacement offer, and, given the bit disintegrated in my face, I would not trust any of SCAMRICOs products.

Sold me their 39.00 bits which DISINTEGRATED on 1st use. Not cutting thru rebar, but through sheet steel... An then began ignoring correspondence to refund when I got irate after they lied about follow-ups... TYPICAL SCAMMER behavior... not to mention it showed-up from some guy named LEE in Jamaica, NY... THAT shoulda been a dead giveaway they aren't what they say in terms of satisfaction and quality.

I ordered 2 of their ultimate drill bits, pretty good to drill any material without have to change them.
The price is better than amazon, the delivery time is a little bit long (2 weeks on my case), but the customer service is here to help!
