“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

Great sturdy axle stands, have used to keep boat and trailer off the ground. Ratchet system makes it easy to adjust the height under the trailer main frame. Having been using solid blocks of wood in the past and could never quite adjust height without the need for wooden wedges. Became a faff to do - with these no problems. Well made and safety pin as well. Top marks.

Ordered a big tool trolley, arrived in good time, rather difficult to get into garage but the delivery guys were great. Pleased with both price and quality.
Refreshingly the delivery guys did ring up 1hr before delivery which meant I could get things organised.

Excellent piece of kit, Well packed and delivered quickly.
The 2-Tonne Engine Lift is well-made and easy to put together.
All the fasteners are of good quality (and none missing!)
Cheaper than some rivals which are not as well made or as well equipped.
Would recommend it.

Easy to navigate website, find the product I was looking for, and purchase. Georgina kept me up to date with the delivery date and a well packaged, undamaged, quality product was delivered which should last for many years. Very impressed... as were all my friends and neighbours.

Recently purchased the 50lt Compressor and 5 piece spray kit, also the 71 piece air tool kit. Everything was in excellent condition on arrival and it did not take long to set up. Really pleased with the purchase and have been using constantly. Highly recommended for small workshop.

I bought a milwaukee m18 chx sds drill from SGS services and the service was brilliant, prompt next day delivery and great customer service including pdf invoice. Item arrived well packed as described what not to like. As a added bonus the item was cheaper than anywhere else I could fi d on the Internet. Will definately purchase from this company again.

Purchased a hydraulic press that wasn't cheap after little real use the seals have gone and after phoning them for a repair kit was told I'd have to wait 6-7 days. Then to be told 6-7 weeks and now there's no certain date. Press is basically useless taking up space in my workshop. Very unhappy.

Delivered quickly and perfectly matched with original part. Fairly easy to fit, but could do with a video to show fitting process on their website (found a good one on YouTube which shows it's an easy job)

I ordered an set of gas boot struts for a BMW 1 series from these clowns. Struts arrived, fitted them to the car and the boot wouldn't close! It stopped just short of latching with a resounding thud! Removed the new struts and put them against the originals only to find that they were actually longer than the originals. After numerous emails to the clowns, they finally agreed to refund me for their mistake. All good you might think, think again, they did in fact refund my money, minus the £6.30 postage fee. So in short, you order goods from SGS, they deliver wrong parts, you return items after an email battle, they refund you but keep your postage costs. I have now read numerous reviews of others having the exact same problem with this company. My advice, stay well clear and purchase your goods with a reputable company not a thieving one! I still can't believe that a company like this would pull such a low punch but there you go, they obviously need the money more than I do.

Awesome kit, ridiculously fast delivery and superb comes with SGS. They are the best company I've bought anything from by a long way.
Many thanks SGS, I'll be ordering again very soon.

Had quite a few sgs items over the last few years such as jacks, axle stands, engine hoist, sandblasting cabinet, parts washer.
All were delivered next day, so delivery is excellent.
I use the garage equipment to look after race cars so they get a fair bit of use and they seem to stand up to the abuse.

Very good quality for the price point, unlike other traders SGS supplied neoprene drawer liners saving me a bunch. Assembly was very easy and took all of ten minutes. Only negative was the shipper must of mishandled the carton as there a couple of dings in the lid. This is my fourth purchase from SGS always prompt and never an issue with product quality.

Had (foolishly) previously purchased 'upgraded 1200n boot struts' from an ebay seller... never again! They could barely hold up the tailgate without a bike rack on!
Decided to look at reviews of other similar products, and all the reviews pointed in the direction of sgs engineering struts. Purchased a single strut, no hassle, quick delivery with item being packed in a proper tube with padding.
One sgs strut has made an immense difference, and will now hold up my bike rack with bikes!
If your thinking of purchasing uprated boot struts, look no further than sgs engineering, honestly!

Bought some new boot struts as I the old ones had given up but also wanted some to accommodate the additional weight I had added.

Safe to say they did what I needed for my 350Z, fitted like OEM and did the job perfectly but also came in no time at all after ordering.

Making sure that anyone else in the 350Z community that has the same issue goes to this company, 100% cannot fault. Thank you.

2 Tonne Trolley Jack.
Have used SGS before for compressor & air tools. This time for a 2 tonne trolley jack. Placed order on Thu and Jack was at my front door on Friday (24 he delivery). Excellent service from SGS. I've not used jack just yet but build quality looks great - definitely up to what I need for home garage. Would definitely use SGS again and I do recommend them for quality, durability & service.

I purchased 4 heavy duty hydraulic wheel skates and a professional height adjustable mechanics seat, and I am very impressed with the high quality components and workmanship of these, they feel as sturdy as they look. Ordering and delivery was easy and quick with tracking also provided. Very happy with service and products and will be back.
