See www.raygrahams.com. There was a similar thread on her a few months ago and the OP used them as they gave free ROI delivery.

Toolstop.co.uk are based in scotland but delivery is usually about 7 euro. I found them the best so far

I had a problem with a drill with faulty hammer. Emailed toolstop, they arranged a courier to pick it up and sent a new one after they checked the fault. It took about 2 weeks from email to receiving new one

Have used them too and found them great to deal with (had to ring them about the order too) . Also, delivery turn-around was really quick.

Best to always compare costs though on each item as I found them much cheaper than other places for some things but more expensive for other things.

Was in McQuillans and noticed a deal on a Mag Drill but not sure which one it was from the website anyway their website gives a start for looking around for prices http://www.mcquillantools.ie/magnetic-drill/

Thank you my3cents, im looking at the evolution EVO42 mag drill. That price is what the averge irish stores are looking for them but ffx as mentioned above are comming in at 255 GBP + 18GBP postage to ireland. 273GBP in euro at the moment is 320 euro! Thats a serious difference in price from the average 450 - 475 euro most of the irish companies are looking for! il have enough change left over for a small set of cutters to get me started!

Jest ordered a small angle grinder and a welder from UK and used ..https://addresspal.anpost.ie/Home/FAQ. I am hoping that what would have cost about £ 18 shipping will cost €3.50 with An Post. I tried to buy here but it did not work out

I thought about doing that but the weight limit is 20kgs and the chop saw is 23kgs!

I've used toolden.Co.uk the last few times I bought tools Was cheaper than toolstop and quick delivery

I bought from lawson-his.co.uk. Bought a Metabo We 15 - 125 grinder for £114 & bought a Thermal Arc 175 from United Welding Supplies Ltd for about €245 if my currency converter is correct
