Good website. Very easy to navigate and to find what you want.
Easy to order. The check-out process is very straight forward and fast - I always like sites which use PayPal as it is quick and secure.
Very fast despatch & delivery. I was really impressed at getting confirmstion of despatch on a Sunday! I also got tracking updates and an hour delivery slot - I got my package at 8am on Monday.
Brilliant!

3.75 kVA Portable Petrol Generator With Wheel Kit - excellent product, best value on the market in my view and a 2 year warranty too. Fast service received it in under 24 hours. Placed the order at 3pm and it was with me at 10 am the next day. Followed the instructions and had it set up and working in under an hour.

I ordered an 8' stainless steel storage bench and 1.8m tall stainless cupboard, for delivery to my domestic garage in country. Excellent communication re delivery and very helpful delivery driver who skillfully unloaded the large pallet package to my driveway off small country lane.
Stainless steel bench is excellent quality, the cupboard came flat packed but was simple to assemble and is very designed/well made.
All round very please with products and intend to order 3 more benches and another cupboard.

Vehicle jack
July 27, 2018

Bought a vehicle jack from sgs witch was on sale very cheap all the reviews were good so orderd it in. The next day the item arrived which was amazing delivery the jack was very well packaged. I really didn't expect the quality to be as good as it was really. The build quality is excellent very strong. I only needed this to do a few jobs at home I'm a vehicle technician working in a dealer and this jack is just as good if not better then the snap on one I have at work. I have already been recommending the jack to Co workers for the price this is a real bargain

The service I got was excellent. I had a bit of trouble buying on line as the number of items kept being added to. (at one time 11!)but one phone call put that to rights. The strimmer arrived next day, as promised and the delivery driver was most helpful. I would certainly use this company again if I needed something in their line.

Cal llput that to rights.

It's my pleasure to report on my recent experiences in dealing with SGS Engineering. Where poor service or poor quality products are encountered, it's only right that consumers warn others of the risks. The very positive experience that I enjoyed in ordering and receiving tool chests, a trolly jack and axle stands from SGS Engineering give me confidence to continue to place further orders with this very efficient company.

Have purchased two compressors and various tools from SGS.
Compressors used for stapling, drilling, sanding and sandblasting - also blow/dusting other tools.
Quality is very very good for the price.
Advice given online on what to purchase is very sound - you need to read it and take heed.

Only one minor error made in the order of some compressor oil. Dealt with very efficiently and without any fuss.

Ordered gas struts and found them out of stock, new stock would arrive when we were on holiday but the sgs team said they would send them when we were back. I emailed them to delay until 10th and they arrived next day. Excellent service

Delighted
December 13, 2018

Delivery was received the morning after I placed my order, well within the "Next Day" offered.
My 24L compressor is strongly made and the accessories seem of equally quality.
My only niggle is the manual was not clear on where the air filter was to be fitted. The SGS video for the model on YouTube gave me the answer.
I would recommend SGS for their service and product quality.

Bought replacement bootlid struts for my Nissan 350Z. They arrived overnight and including new end-fittings as standard they cost less than half what I was expecting, based on prices for the same parts from SGS 10 years ago. Couldn't be happier!

We purchased a Stephill diesel generator. £2,800.00. It has an intermittent fault and does not produce power. To get this fixed we need put put it on a pallet in the original packaging and we have to have lifting facilities to get it on the return lorry for it to go back to the manufacturer what a joke.
So if you want a good service do not buy from SGS.

Well exceeds expectation
January 23, 2019

Very rapid delivery, good communication and exceptional on line information/instruction for chainsaw. Early days but so far saw excedes expectations for ease of starting( a major recurrent problem with my existing high end brand) and power/performance. Amazing low price, about a third of that of my previous machine. Reliability/durabiilty remains to be seen but so far looks like bargain of the year. I'll definitely post again good or bad after a few months of use. After a weekend of heavy use on large (45cm plus)hard and soft logs chain still very sharp

Recently purchased a 52cc Petrol Grass Strimmer / Trimmer / Brush Cutter. 3 weeks on and having used it very extensively on each of 3 occasions I can report it's a very good piece of kit and excellent value for money. The overall engineering quality is excellent and the whole thing feels very substantial. Assembly was straight forward and the harness is comfortable. The engine continues to start easily and run well. Live in a rural setting and used it to clear part of a field and the edge of a field of very thick and tall grasses/nettles. Only used the 3 eared steel cutting blade so far which works brilliantly. Good coms from SGS once order placed which arrived quite quickly. I looked at other brush cutters priced around the same before buying the SGS model but reviews of these wasn't particularly good. Also, as SGS manufacture and sell these, getting spare blades (and other spares) should be straight forward. Would buy again.

Impressed!
February 4, 2019

I recently purchased a 3t trolley jack with 6t axle stands and I'm really impressed with the quality. The ordering process was very easy, I was kept informed as my order was progressed and I received my items the following day. I would certainly purchase from SGS again and would highly recommend. Thank you for an excellent service!

I would suggest that anyone that has had issues with SGS Engineering contact CAB in Derby and report the situation. The CAB will send the information to the trading standards team and if there is enough noise they will be investigated.

Unless we act together this company will not change or better still be shut down
