“Great value for money”

David S.
5/14/19

Second purchase from SGS. Chainsaw arrived when stated, easy to assemble and started after third pull with a true easy start mechanism. Impressed with the additions - fuel mixing bottle, tools, file and bag, plus 2 chains. Have not tried it in action yet but all in all seems good.

Top Critical Review

“Abysmal workmanship and service”

Bought 2 gas struts, one failed immediately because it was incorrectly manufactured with insufficient thread on the shaft, I notified them and sent them photos, it took 2 weeks for a replacement to arrive this was completely wrong and would not fit, I notified them and sent photos again showing the errors. Since then they have ignored my emails, they promise to phone me back but don't on numerous occasions, a company to avoid

Excellent service, including email updates, advance notice from the courier company, timely delivery. Very well packaged tool chests so no damage upon arrival. Very sturdy product, probably overkill for a plucky amateur like myself, but worth every penny.

Fantastic customer service, efficient and effective. Super pleased with my 2 tonne low profile trolley jack. The axle stands are working perfectly. I would definitely recommend this product and company to anyone. Thank you.

SGS, good equipment at a reasonable price with quick delivery.

I have bought various items, my latest being this tool trolley.

The fit and finish is excellent.

It can be seen with our drag racing team at Santa Pod.

I would recommend SGS to anyone

I have SGS saved to my phone. I will now be ordering all my top of the range tools from there. They are literally the most affordable on the internet whilst other businesses sell the same item for full price. Excellent customer service. Very professional and happy to help. Next day quick delivery. Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service. Company went the extra mile to locate a purchase record and obtain a replacement part under warranty (even though it was almost 2 years ago.)
Communication and after sales service is First Class.
Highly recommended

72" Stainless Steel Tool Box
I bought this to go in my study as a toolbox/ desk extension. It is fabulous. The build is good quality and very sturdy. The wooden top means it looks beautiful in my study and will be great for jewellery work. Delivery was prompt and customer services were extremely helpful when I phoned to double check that delivery would happen that day. They went out of their way to assure me by phoning the pallet company.

Landed on SGS intending to buy gas struts ended up ordering a 3 Ton Trolley Jack for another job. Ordered mid afternoon and arrived by 9:30 the following morning! The jack itself is well engineered and build very solidly. Jacking is simply an easy and lowering very smooth. All in all very please with quality of engineering and the service. On that basis would definitely order more from SGS and will be back for the gas struts I was originally looking for..

If I could give six stars I would. Ordering was easy, delivery was free and on time and the driver was very helpful. The packaging was a work of art; every piece carefully thought out with a view to unpacking these very heavy cabinets easily while providing fantastic protection during transit. VERY impressive. The actual cabinets are excellent. I bought two for my wife to use back to back as a large mobile workstation for large paintings. Everything screams quality. The materials used, the design, the wheels, the draw action, the solid wooden top - everything was above expectations. VERY VERY happy with these tools chests and I will be buying more for my work workshop.

I ordered 4 gas struts for my alfa romeo spider 939 convertible roof. They fit perfectly, and do their job very good. I recommend SGS Engineering for everyone! Thank you, they solved a long lasting roof problem! On the picture you can see my cat.

Top rating for SGS. Compressor delivered next day as advertised. The oil level on the compressor on setting up was well above the level advised so a couple of emails to SGS sorted situation. Replies received within a few hours or next day at the latest.

Although not a quiet machine the noise level is not excessive. This one is reasonably stable in use, not jumping around like a demented washing machine as my "old" compressor did.

I needed two tail gate struts for my vw
T4, looked on many sites but all way to expensive or poor quality. I found SGS Engineering by chance, they have an excellent web site, very clear and easy to select the correct item needed. Will definitely be using them again... keep up the good work!

This is the second time I have bought from this company & as usual, it was an excellent product at a very keen price. Very reasonable postage charge and fast delivery. First class website with clear video showing fitting instructions. Will always check them out first when buying tools and automotive parts

After looking at other compressors, the SGS 90 litre belt drive fitted my requirements.
I ordered it on there website, which was very easy.
It arrived next working day, very little needed to put together and now under the bench doing good service.
Very happy with price, quality and runs quieter than expected.

Never found a fastest delivery for industrial equipment and also a prompt response to any questions.
SGS provide good quality products at very sensible prices, I won't hesitate to make other purchase from them in the future.

I've used sgs after finding their details on the Alfa owners website and recommendation. Can't fault them. Web site is good, so is product and service. Two years warranty helps having just fitted the new struts which have fixed my issues let's see how we go.

Great friendly customer service pre purchase. Place order on a Friday afternoon and delivered Saturday despite confirmation saying delivery Monday. Product as expected and seems decent quality although time will tell.

Reliable, well built equipment, delivered quickly. Excellent customer service. Good prices. The smart move is to check if SGS make it before you look somewhere else.

Most of my garage now features the black and blue logo, and I'm phasing out lesser quality equipment which sometimes was more expensive.

Searched the Web for quality garage equipment and must say SGS are hard to beat. Purchased a 2.5 ton high lift trolley Jack with axle stands. Well manufactured parts and second to none service. Customer service at its best cheers Dave.
