Hi all.
I'm thinking of buying a NuTool router.
Would anyone have an idea if NuTool of Doncaster is still going?
Their website is down and their telephone rings without answering.

Last time I spoke to someone there (maybe 18 months ago, when I was
looking for a guide bush for a NuTool-supplied Wickes router), I was
told that they'd stopped selling under their own name and only
imported/badged own-label products for other sellers.

Perhaps any NuTool stuff is clearance stock working its way through
the system without any spares/support.

Was there ever much in the way of support for NuTool? There rarely is with
these 'budget' brands.

Well, limited spares and accessories I think. And they were listed as
the Wickes service agents for tools they supplied, whatever that
amounted to in reality. So, yeah, your scepticism is probably
correct!

I had a Nutool pillar drill - from when NuTool was the B&Q brand. The
safety screen broke off quite early on, and they couldn't supply a spare.
Not that I really expected them to.

If you do, make sure you handle it before you buy. Some I have seen have
so much slop in the plunge mechanism as to be useless. (i.e. try rocking
the router body on the legs. There should be *no* movement possible in
any axis or direction other than straight up and down the plunge axis)

Hi all.
I'm thinking of buying a NuTool router.

I've had pretty good experience of their tools, as long as I bought
them knowing that they were cheap and limited. Sometimes that is not
such a false economy.

I haven't bought any for a couple of years, but remember that they
used to offer a 2 year guarantee on most things. Not worth a jot now,
of course, but it was useful in the past. I took a SDS pneumatic/
hammer drill back to the retailer after about 19 months of total abuse
and they refunded it without question, saying that NuTool were good at
exchanging in the warranty period. I'm not sure if they were or if it
was just the retailer being generous. Either way, they refunded the
full original price, which I then immediately used to buy the latest
NuTool equivalent SDS drill. To make it even more sweet, the new
model cost £15 less than I originally paid. Result!

Agreed. I needed a dirty water pump. I was prepared to waste £30 for a one
off use but the pump is still going.

I has no real complaints about the pillar drill I bought - it gave good
service. But I reckon these days Lidl own brand are the tops for budget
power tools. That Nutool drill was replaced by a Lidl one.

To others, it will remain forever a mystery.

Yes well I was bemused beyond the state where my bemusement could stand.
However the real culprit here is that bleedin stupid web portal to Usenet.

(At least Chamber's Dictionary thinks there's a connection - "inserted
