I finally got my hammers today (Oct 17, 2018). Ordered in Jan of '16 so close to three years. Quality looks fine if you can stand the wait.

i quit trying to contact them not long after the original post of this thread and wrote that purchase off as lost money a long time ago - parts were ordered and paid for in July of 2015

I retapped the threads to the very close current standard and bought from another supplier so they would be of no use now anyway

I ordered a set of locks last January, still not had them. Every time i pester to find out whats going in the guy answering isn't in the workshop today, or recalls that there was some small issue orginally they were going to take 2-3 weeks which i put faith in given that i spoke to kevin in person regarding the order. The last stuff i got from them took well over a year im glad to hear its not just me who gets the run around.

What irritated me this last time was that i was chasing up my order and was offered up to buy the original locks the castings of which i had ordered. I might of bought them if the last two emails promising to "find out what was going on" had come to anything.

Anyway rant over. I will say that the quality of stuff when it has arrived has been better than other similar stuff i have had from Peter Dyson. The costs are often similar but i prefer the way dysons do business. You pays your money and as fast as the royal mail drives your item arrives.

I ordered a pair of hammers around the end of January of this year.
I received them about the end of May. I sent them one email in between which they responded to. In fact, they sent another email, on their own, letting me know they would soon be shipped. There was a hand written apology note with the hammers apologizing for the delay. I had ordered from them before a couple of times and the items came within 2 months. Guess I have been lucky.
