“Great value for money”

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.

“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

I bought a 3 part metal tool box after getting a bad quality plastic one elsewhere. I found SGS engineering and was impressed with the price for the product. It arrived the next day and it fits the purpose very well for detailing products. It is very heavy as you'd expect but worth it for the quality.
Will look at buying from SGS Engineering again in the future and recommending to others.

I had been looking for gas struts for a while. I found SGS, saw their products and video and felt they were the best option for me. I'm glad I chose them. The struts sent were exactly what I wanted, arrived on time and were well wrapped. It took 15 minutes to change the struts and now the boot lid works perfect. I was well impressed with the whole service, from start to finish.

Purchased and just fitted new SGS Tailgate struts on my Discovery3, very easy
To fit in a couple of minutes. I must add I am pretty amazed of how they are great! Not only they work perfectly but they are really strong. Wow, such a lightining tailgate opening! Better, Stronger, Faster: all I like!
Many thanks for your customer care!
Kind regards from France! I'll be back!

Excellent informative website - even a clip to show how to fit my particular part. Items arrived in good time, well packaged. Definitely will purchase from here again as finding parts for my 19yr old vehicle can be tricky.

Brilliant. Super fast delivery, everything in one piece and good prices too. What more to say?

I previously had a 3hp compressor off them which developed a starting fault. They sent new capacitors out straight away which fixed the issue.

Ordered their mobile heavy duty 3 part tool box. Very impressed when it arrived. I wasn't expecting anything near the build quality for this price, nice thick steel and well engineered hinges and clasps. I'm glad I took the punt on it. Free delivery was a bonus too.

Ordered a 2.5 ton low profile trolley jack. Awesome product (massive) arrived on time next working day Friday-Monday at 8.45am. Managed to do the caravan brakes ready for bank holiday and will use it to get under our two mx5's. A pleasure to deal with them.

What a quality service and quality tool chest, definitely up there with the so called leading brand for probably less than half the cost.

Looks fantastic in the brushed stainless steel finish and solid wood top, I honestly thought for the money it might be a bit thin and flimsy but how wrong was I.

I looked around at different makes including the halfords pro range for simular money but this is twice as sturdy and build quality second to none. The size, style and shape suited my needs perfectly. It comes with the chunkiest wheels I've come across but for me mine was going flat on the floor but 100% certain they are more than capable of taking the cabinet weight. Thanks sgs.

Cant personally say anything but positive things about my recent purchase of an air compressor from SGS - excellent product for home/garage use and very reasonably priced when comparing other similar compressors, and delivery was next day as promised. Not had to use their afer sales so cannot comment on that side.

I had been looking to increase my Milwaukee 18v tool kit and came across SGS. Their prices are really good.My latest buy was a slide mitre saw (body only) for around £240.00 and no one has come close. Next day delivery for free over £50.00 and a text on the morning to let you know the hour slot.

Great discounted price and quick delivery. Set up easy enough with most parts already assembled. Have only used the strimmer so far and it is a powerful machine. Started easily after a few pulls and ran smooth throughout use. Not as heavy as the power would suggest but harness is a great bit of kit meaning you can work much longer without getting tired. Accessories are a bit cheap but the machine itself is feels high standard. Will definitely look at SGS again for other purchases. SGS 5 in 1 petrol strimmer/pruner.

I've just made my second purchase through SGS engineering and they have once more exceeded my expectations.

Renovating my garage I decided that I had been tools spread between too randomly organised took boxes. So, I decided not needed a mechanic's cabinet. Searching the high street and well known retailers I found they were either flimsy and cheap or horendously expensive.

I should have tried SGS first! It only do they offer one of the cheapest cabinets I could for be but the specifications were better than some costing triple the price.

Ordered one morning it was here the next working day. Well packaged it arrived in perfect condition. Assembly was simple and SGS even provide a video on their website to help, if you get stuck.

8 strudel drawers with ball bearing runners. Detachable tool box on top and proper heavy duty castors. For less than a hundred quid delivered. One hundred!

Well done SGS, I'm a very happy customer.

20 ton floor press puchased because out 6 year old cheapo Clark unit finally died. Always nervous about buying stuff on the internet, but really happy with the quality of this machine. It will certainly last 20 years from what I can see.

Have purchased a number of pieces of equipment over the years and have always found SGS staff helpful, the products are well made, good value for money and I would have no hesitation in purchasing from them again. Items included 2.5 ton jack, axle stands, wheel chocks, latest is 24 ltr. Air compressor and associated tools/toolboxes.

Good robust products, 6T axle stands with high listing range - just right for Range Rovers. Really fast delivery. Box was coming apart on arrival, but these are heavy items and can quickly beat up cardboard packaging. Some padding inside the box might have helped, anyway arrived in good condition so no harm done and really please with the stands. Can't really beat SGS for reliable, robust workshop equipment. I'm a repeat customer, which probably says it all.

An excellent piece of kit delivered early the following day for only £6.99, it would have been free if I'd ordered over £50. It's very well made, very substantial and fitted perfectly on my Passat, though if your car, or at least the engine bay, is wider then you'd need to check that it will fit, 154 cms max. Width. Because my engine lifting mounts are high I ended up using ratchet tie-down shops over the top of the bar instead of the grappling hooks and chain. Chain is substantial (28mm across) so may not go through your lifting mounts, may need to use a shackle or hook to attach.

Service, product, and communication couldn't have been better. Fast efficient delivery, a minor problem sorted immediately, a technical question answered by return. I would defiantly use again and recommend to others

After the gas struts on our caravan roof light, (Heki) failed, we looked for replacements. The original items were £45 EACH. The replacements from SGS were half that price and are of a much better quality than the originals, far more substantial.

Delivery was also very fast. They were sent Royal mail 48 hour.

Very easy ordering, good website for what Your looking for can be filtered. Fast despatch & delivery 5*, brought 2 tonne low access trolley jack +case & 4× 4 tonne axle stands, must admit jack smaller than antecipated, but lifts cars ok, case very poor quality, struggled to fit in case, then securing log broke off after about 4 uses & rubber on lifting beam split on first use as well as optional extra rubber pads on stands split in half when supporting vehicle on sill jacking points, but a good product for price, but if looking for regular use would consider maybe a pricier option.

Great piece of kit well worth the money quality all the way through
And very reasonable on the price would highly recommend this seller and the products they sell.
Just lifted my renault trafic van full of tools looked to see if had started to lift and then saw it was already off the floor absolutely no effort required just realised what a rubbish jack i was using before from halfords.
Must say on a personal note you know when you open something and use it for the first time and it puts a smug smile on your face because you know you chose the right product out of all the rest available well i was that person.

Tip for consumers:
do not waste your time looking elsewhere best price and quality for trolley jacks i should know looked at hundreds on ebay

Products used:
trolley jack 3 ton
