We used to use these guys a lot for tool purchases quite often for our company and our sister company but we will not anymore. We are in the security locmsith business and our integrity is paramount for our trade.

You could not pull the start cord because the sprocket was locked up due to the bearing. The motor was...

Read moreNeeded a drill bit to cut through hardened steel plate (10) holes 7/8" dia. Bought what we believed to be what was needed. Stepped up the holes small to large using oil. When using the larger bit it wouldn't cut properly. Returned the bit explained what had taken place, the owner worked with me & replaced the bit with one from a set & took care of my problem. I've bought different items from here & have always been greeted upon arrival & helped in my purchases. Prices are high like everywhere else, but they've given me real & honest information & treated me fairly. The tools that I have purchased have performed well & done the...
