Why Filmtools?
I've gotten to develop a friendship and relationship with one of the sales rep when he visited a company that I worked for in the past. The employees at Filmtools have been nothing but the best with answering all of my film questions

My experience with Filmtools was as pleasant as expected. Shopping online was easy and I received my new Gold Fold at my Northern California home sooner than expected.

Replacement for lost Gold Fold
Why Filmtools?
Filmtools is the only place I know of that sells Gold Folds. I’ve also had good experiences visiting the store in person.

After losing my previous GF I was afraid a newer version would have less quality leather. My new one has top quality leather, and I appreciate the snap over the magnet as well as the interior clip to hold papers, which one of my older versions had, but my most recent one did not.

Needed another dual battery charger

1 week ago
Plates fit into the charge, but it's a tight fit. Had to really snug 'em in.

Charger basically the same as the Watson and Pearstone chargers I've had for years. Display seems a bit barebones -- doesn't always reflect the battery status properly when a battery is inserted.

Can Do For You
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
