Having discovered that Garret Wade do not ship to the UK, I manager to find someone to take delivery of the Odd Job in the US and then ship to the UK. The Odd Job was a birthday present for my father, who as a cabinet maker by trade, was not aware of the Odd Job and he was thoroughly surprised and enthralled with it and has been putting the tool to good use.
Dear Paul,
Thank you for your order and for stopping by to share your experience with others! We're very sorry that we don't ship to the UK but are delighted to hear that you found a way to get the Odd Job to your father. We're so glad he likes it and hope that he enjoys many good years with it!
Nail clippers are excellent, well made and functional. Knife was not so good, the handle was poorly fitted with an area that had been filed down, and pin rivets protruding to cut your hand.
Dear Bruce,
Thank you so much for your order! We're glad to hear that you are happy with the clippers. We are very sorry about the knife not being satisfactory and would like to resolve this for you. My name is Susan. Can you please write to be directly at [email protected]? I look forward to hearing from you and making this right for you.
I gave this galvanized watering can as a gift to my sister in-law. She was extremely happy with it, said it was well made and very useful in watering outdoor plants as it holds a good amount of water. It's her new favorite. It was shipped quickly and arrived in good condition.
Dear Margaret, Thank you so much for your order and for taking the time to post such a nice review. We truly appreciate it, and are happy to hear how much your sister-in-law is enjoying the watering can!

Everything was as pictured. I am not an experienced handy woman, so I love the individual drill bit containers labeled for the type of material they work on. They are compact and don't take up a lot of room. Love them!
Dear Maggie, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're happy you are pleased with your purchase. Thanks so much for your order. Have a great day!

I have ordered items from your catalog for years. Your merchandise is first class. Imagine my dismay when this past year I found out that you do not ship to Alaska. Putting Alaskans all in the same jar is a mistake. Residents of Ketchikan, Alaska's most southern city is 1000 miles from Alaskan cities in the northern part of our state. We are closer to Seattle Washington, and you mail to them. I am so disappointed in this decision to lump us all together as we are such a massive state with such differing mailing outcomes. I have already easily found another company that doesn't discriminate against Alaskans.
Dear Martha,
We actually do ship to Alaska. We're sorry that you were given this misinformation. For further details, please call our customer service team at 1-800-221-2942. We appreciate you as a customer and sincerely apologize for the confusion.
I ordered on line to purchased a floor mat. I reviewed my order on my iPhone and found the discrepancy not receiving the discounted price.

If you are one whom likes quality tools or items which are one of a kind, this is the company to take a look at. I love unique and well made tools that I can't find by other means. From exceptional 19 ft pole saws, interchangeable pole saw/pruners, unique pruners, lovely unique gifts to great wood working glue; I have found an array of superb items at great prices. At 70, a woman, I love nice sharp saw blades that take down branches with ease. Garrett Wade has a little of everything. I can say that I am very pleased with the items I have purchased and I am going to have fun taking down limbs this summer. Quality items. Highly recommend taking a peek.

I HAVE NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT GARRETT WADE. EVERY ITEM I HAVE PURCHASED FROM THEM HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL. EXCELLENT QUALITY THROUGH AND THROUGH. THEY APPEAR TO STRIVE TO PURCHASE ITEMS THAT WILL LAST FOR A LIFETIME.
Hi William! Thank you so very much for your kind words about us. It's much appreciated. We truly appreciate your taking the time to post your thoughts and are delighted about how happy you are with our products.
I've purchased several tools from Garret Wade and been very happy with the quality. After a recent issue where I was unable to obtain a discount on an on-line order, their customer service rep contacted me and issued both the discount and refund on a second item. Her personal emails were immediate and much appreciated. I will continue to order from Garret Wade and won't be shy about contacting Customer Service if I have a problem.
Dear Mary, We're very sorry that you needed to add something extra in order to receive the discount. We have issued a refund in the amount of $15.08 (10% off the item you ordered, and a full refund on the extra item you needed to order). Please accept our sincerest apologies. We truly appreciate you as a customer! Thank you so much for your order and your patience.
Classic stuff you'll not find anywhere else. Love this catalog.
