Jetwash repairs

I recently returned my jetwasher for service & repair expecting quite a costly repair or a wrightoff as it was well out of warranty which I was quite happy about.
Within two weeks a new machine was delivered to my door under warranty replacement. WOW! this is customer care at a different level!
Thank you Draper tools.

Absolutely Fantastic.

Absolutely Fantastic.

For some time, I have been searching for a tool roller cabinet and 2 full height double door floor cabinets for my garage. The dimensions had to be correct for the size of my garage, to ensure that they fit.
Having searched multiple companies without much success, I was instantly drawn towards the Bunker brand. The dimensions of the products were correct and the styling looked awesome.

The one thing that kept me from buying sooner, was the lack of reviews for these products and I generally spend a lot of time reading reviews, especially if it’s an expensive purchase.

In the end I went with my gut instinct and made the purchase through a Bunker supplier. I am so glad that I did. The products I ordered were:

X1 Draper 08238 BUNKER® 15 Drawer Workbench Roller Tool Cabinet, 61" Grey & X2 Draper 33166 Bunker Modular 2 Door Tall Floor Cabinets, 915mm.

The delivery came directly from Bunker and the units arrived on a double pallet. The packaging was immense, but it meant the products were well protected. Upon opening the package, I was impressed with the quality of the items, not a single dent or scratch which was great.

The roller cabinet already had the wheels installed so it was easy to take off the pallet. It came with two keys and a single handle which I opted to not install. It also came with a bottle opener, which I hope to get much use out of :). The drawers are fully lined and have a soft close function and they feel smooth to open and close. The keys operate as expected.

For the floor cabinets, again well packaged and the instructions were clear. Assembly was easy. The only issue I had were the door spring pins, which secures to the bottom section. I accidentally lifted the pin too high and it flung out of the door. It was a little bit of trouble to re-seat the pin, but this is a minor issue. What is also great is that both cabinets use the same key, so I now have plenty of spares.

After installing the cabinets in place, I was completely overwhelmed at the amazing quality of the items. It has always been my dream to have this type of setup and I am thankful that Bunker have made these products. If I were a You-tuber/ Influencer, I would definitely be an advocate of this brand, considering it stems from the Draper lineage.

Finally, I would like to thank Gina in customer services and Sharon for arranging the delivery. Gina helped answer some technical questions and also arranged for some additional products to make my setup complete.

Thank you Bunker/ Draper for making me a happy customer! :)

Draper Tools replaced my 17mm Draper Expert spanner without quibble after it become rusty, the only one in the set to do it after maybe 15 years ! Gina who dealt with my concerns was very attentive and communicated well ! They were a rust free set guaranteed for life and they have done well so far. I recommend Draper Tools !!

Request for Unlisted Part.

Quick to reply but were unable to supply a legacy part. This part did date from 1999 so it is understandable. An alternative supplier who may be able to help was suggested. I am grateful.

Helped me Find The Part I needed

Rhys at Draper provided excellent customer service by helping me find the correct part number for the chainsaw chain I needed. He went above and beyond by also sending me a link to purchase it—even though it wasn’t directly from Draper—as well as useful information on checking other prices. His assistance made the process quick and hassle-free. Highly recommend!

Gina went above and beyond to help some out and also saved me a small fortune by finding me an odd part that is normally part of an entire assembly. Absolutely blew me away.

Great customer service

I was a "non-paying" customer, basically just needing some information about a tool they used to carry.

That was no problem for Gina, in Customer Service. She found the item in a 1983 catalog and sent me a picture of the catalog page.

I appreciate people that are willing to help even when there's nothing in it for them. Thank you Gina!
