Hi Paul, Thank you for your review!
Best hand tool supplier!
I've bought quite a lot of tools from Classic Hand Tools over the last year both at full price and on their "Friday Finds". The prices are always fair, their range is massive, they reply to emails very quickly and delivery is usually very quick.
Overall a 10/10 company.
