Testimonials

I ordered a 1/4" bspt die and stock yesterday, they arrived today. The quality is excellent, I was able to cut a clean thread on a cylinder stem which I couldn't manage using the die I already had. I'm very happy and will use them again.

May I say thank you for my order, the service you provided was outstanding and the delivery time scale first class. I will remember to use your company again when I am struggling to source difficult to obtain taps and dies. Thank you again

Company ordered at 1pm Wednesday and was delivered in Sweden by midday Thursday!

Due to your excellent service we managed to produce a new tool in the form of a modified tie-rod in no time at all. The tie rod will be used for a service intervention on an old blower from, at that time, W.C Holmes in Huddersfield. The delivery took place during the 70s and now everything is metric. The longer black threaded part is M20 x 1.5 in material 10.9. Thanks again for your help.

Ordered taps and die; received them yesterday. Used them for the job in hand. Excellent! Best taps and dies I have ever used. I started serving my time in 1962 so have tapped a few holes since then. Well retired with a workshop and machinery shop to keep me busy. I am really pleased to find a new British firm producing tools of the highest quality. Isn't the internet great? Would never have found you without it. Many thanks.

Everytime the question comes up on the various forums where people want taps and dies, i tell them, get decent ones from Avon tap and die, or otherwise you are just chucking you money away.. I have had a few things from you, and they have all been GREAT, so, just keep on doing what you are doing!!

If I'd had known how much better they perform compared with the last couple I've broken, I wouldn't have ordered so many! I've hand tapped almost 50 holes with your set today, the one from B&Q lasted 6 holes the other day. Now I know!

Have just been using the M4 tap set that you sent me on 7th Dec., order no [hidden]. What a pleasure to use really good quality tools as opposed to the huge amount of awful rubbish that is on the market these days. I have been using them to tap out some holes in cupboard handles that have come from the far east with threads which are not deep enough and are of very poor thread form. It would make my day to learn that your taps were manufactured here in the UK! Thank you for restoring my faith in the tool industry. I am an engineer (marine) and diy man of many years standing.

Dear Sir, I just wanted to say I am very impressed with the quality of the taps and drills I have just had delivered. They have all been used and are very robust. Great price, very quick delivery and excellent quality - what more could I want?

Steve, I am told that your taps are the best. They tried a Volkel M24 and it wouldn’t tap 1 hole. They tried yours that had done 25 holes and it went through no problem.

Very pleased to say that the second M8 x 1.25mm HSS button die arrived OK today. Package date marked 04-04-18. Just cut the first thread with it (on S302 stainless steel) and it cuts very well, no sign of a drunken thread, good surface finish and snug fit on a proprietary stainless hex. nut. A button die works hard cutting stainless steel and no sign of chipping or blunting of the teeth after the cut. A very pleasing buy.

Excellent delivery, and just seeing your products you can see the quality and they did the job well... you will be getting all our future orders. Thank you very much! After all the rubbish we’ve been sent from various places IT'S SO NICE TO GET A GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT INSTEAD OF THE CHINESE RUBBISH GOING UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES.

Brilliant, HSS M20 X 1.5 through my letterbox this morning. Dry up here so under the bonnet of the little Aixam I went to clean up a thread on the clutch/drive shaft. Your die did a splendid job – the new nut fits a treat. Now for the new drive belt and torquing it all up. Great service, great product, great value.
