    Heh lads,

    Im just looking to buy a few cheap tools online (cordless drills / chop saw / circular saw ) etc.

    Im just wondering if anyone knows any cheap sites as to where to buy tools online.

    I get ALL my gear from www.screwfix.com - deliver into NI next day - you'll need an address in UK for delivery

    Try www.axminster.co.uk, good prices and free delivery over I think 40 sterling.

    another vote for axminster, wasn't free delivery to ireland last time i checked but it was reasonable, i think it's ten pounds per 30 kilos up to 90 kilos, after that you have to call them.

    still though, seem reasonably priced, and their own brand stuff is supposedly not that bad

    Irish website......Caulfield Industrial Ltd http://www.caulfieldindustrial.com/files/home1.asp

    I don't know what their pricing is like versus the UK sites.

    Couldn't recommend axminster higher.I've been buying off them for years.They have a great selection and most importantly great prices.As far as I know the most you will spend on postage is 10 pounds which is great.

    MMm, I could have possibly mixed up the free delivery with some other crowd, sorry for the confusion.:rolleyes:

    No your right,its free delivery if you spend over 45 pounds and is under a certain weight (sorry cant remember) but outside of that their max delivery charge is 10 pound.
