Never used them but know people who did, good source for power tools apparently.

yep, purchased pretty much all my power tools from them and a lot of other hand tools as well
Shame

FFX TOOLS

Anyone having problems with this tool supplier? I ordered a couple of thing 2 weeks ago with a supposed delivery date of 2/3 days. Been on the phone 3 times now, once for an hour! without getting to speak to anyone.

Gosh, that’s a shame I’ve bought a lot from them

Their prices for woodworking stuff like Freud sawblades is very good

must have been sudden, at least to the staff , as i was getting emails for new produts right up to 18th Sept
"Launch Of Duratech - The New Exclusive Automotive Tool Brand at FFX "
News reports say 400+ staff all made redundant and a few staff are being kept on while they close the company
Real shame , Good customer service , always had an upbeat conversation with the sales staff, and when issues occurred (which they will as human) they sorted it out efficently.

really enjoyed the shows at Maidstone show ground , and purchased alot there as well as online

I guess my goto will be D&M tools now

£96million turnover 2023

2022 net profit £1.7m
2023 net loss £3.6m

I can’t see any report on the reasons for the rapid change in profitability
