In 1958 Alan worked as an aircraft fitter in Luton, in his spare time he called on factories selling tools and equipment from a wheelbarrow. He progressed initially to a market stall before later that year opening his first shop supplying mainly Government surplus tools and equipment. In 1962 Alan moved to Darlington finding premises in Clifton Road.

AVOID Shambolic Customer Service !!!!
I have used this company since I started my business 8 years ago, recommended them to others and spent thousands with them. On the 19/03/21 in the middle of a job my grinder was working one min and nothing the next. Honestly, it could not of broke at a worst time. I was just round the corner from this company… and as I had purchased the grinder from them, I took it back. I explained the situation I was in and I ask if they could just take a quick look to see if it was just dust on the electrics or if it was finished, I was happy to pay for the inspection

Thought I would try these guys. Went online found what I wanted, ordered it. Paid by card. Selected alternative delivery address (not unusual many companies I use offer this). Received an email, no we can't deliver to alternate address. Replied to Aiden, Ok send it to billing address. Oh no can't now all stock at a show in Harrogate, maybe deliver… later!!! Received text from DPD will deliver tomorrow!! What the f##k is going on! Established in 1958 you say....really!!! Just send me what I have paid for. I'll go back to Axminster next time, shocking behaviour!
