Hey guys thought it was about time I got a section on here.

As most of you know I've been a long time poster on here....the only local site I really use to be honest....our company specialise in tools and garden machinery. My father started the company in 1977 and is now 64 so is starting to take life a bit easier....as myself and my brother are taking more of a front seat we have been concentrating on taking the company into the next stage of development by computerising everything, improving customer service, back up and pricing structures.

We have massive stocks and vans covering the whole country so anyone needs anything priced as a fellow car nut I shall try my best to get the lowest prices available for RMS members, post or pm me for prices. If you can't get up or don't live near I won't charge delivery on anything.

Offers to follow, keep an eye on this section and I'll stick a few up very soon.

Cheers

Simon

Get a few bits and pieces through work with yourselves, don't know how you can improve customer services, it's brilliant at the minute!!

Wilsons is a fantastic family run, customer focused business, and a true Alladins cave for all types of tools and garden machinary. In the last few years I have bought a fair variety of equipment for my business and homeplace and wouldn't go anywhere else now, even it is a 20 minute drive for me. Highly recomended!

Long time customer of Wilson's here too. (y)
I've lost hours just wandering round buying stuff that I 'just might' need.
Fantastic to have somewhere that holds a good stock too as it's all well and good saying somewhere else is cheaper on the internet but when you're into a job on a Saturday morning and you come across an urgent need for a tool you don't have, you can't jump into the car and run down to the place that's a tenner cheaper on ebay.
More than happy to support a local place as helpful and well stocked as this to make sure it's still there in the future when I need it.;)

Got a few bits from Simon over the years too- always very helpful and the things have even been cheaper than online (y).

I love having a nosey round the shop- theres a SERIOUS amount of stuff in it.

Have to agree with the above. Have bought a few bits and pieces over the years, although no huge amounts.

But the amount of stuff in there is unreal. It looks smaller from the outside, but just room after room of tools and gear. Worth a look around even if you havent anything specific in mind, because no doubt you'll find something you need even if you didnt know it existed in the first place ! lol

Surprising how many people havnt heard of Denis Wilsons when I tell them about the place. Great Variety of everything. Sent a man up for his first visit and he was that impressed he was back up with 3 of his friends the following week for a wee outing to buy tools :grinning:

Thanks for the business so far guys. Been good to meet some of you's and appreciate the business.

New container of ingersoll rand compressors arrived from the continent this week. All vans flat out so back to the old fashioned delivery system of a 16 foot triple axel and a 4.5 nissan patrol. This trailer is currently half way thru being loaded for a customer in cork and leaving at 8 tomorrow morning. Superb jeeps…..we used to run shoguns etc but didn't stick the pace….this is our second one of these and along with a land cruiser they would pull a house down…..all day every day and come back for more.

All I can say is that place is a treasure trove and I never expected it to be as big as it was. Only I had my three year old with me I would have stayed all day. Cheers Simon for all the help.

@lightning I need to get a compressor sorted for the garage. Need something that will run a 1/2 inch impact gun, air drill etc. not wanting to spend a fortune but want something that will do the job.

Hard to know exactly but you should get away with a 2 horse 50L oil cooled, Your probably talking £119 all in for a reputable make. Up from that there's 3.0 horse twin cylinder and 100 litre depending on budget! Should have all shapes and sizes in stock (y)
