I've had good luck with all the tool I've bought. Most of my stuff is around the house repairs etc. Name brand tools usually are not required. I've got a small air compressor that has served well for tires, inflatable toys etc. Disposable stuff like bungee cords, rope, zip ties, Ratchet hold down straps, Duck Tape and the like are usually cheap and do the job.

Their tools are good if they don't have a power cord. Having said that, if you take one back they just tell you to be get a new one. No questions asked. Not any more. If you open the box the tool is in, you now have to get approval to return it.

I wouldnt buy anything from there that my paycheck relied on or that I was going to lay under (car jack). But for misc tools I look there from time to time. Never trust your life to ANY jack. That's why they make jack stands.

My guess it is all made by the same 7-year-old Chinese kids. Probably right next to the 7 year old kids making the other brands as well....

One of my lawnmower engine's bit the dust and thinking about getting that vertical shaft Predator engine. It's now $100.

Also, if you pick up theirs sale paper in the store, there is a coupon for 20% off any one item.
Can save you some $$$ if your buying something more expensive.

I wouldn’t buy anything from there that my paycheck relied on or that I was going to lay under (car jack). But for misc tools I look there from time to time. do you lay under cars with just the jack supporting it? I do not even work on the wheels or brakes without jack stands.

Elliot's may be a little more expensive but if you can't find it anywhere else, they got it. Love that store.

I wish I had bought Earthquake brand instead of SnapOn. The Earthquake always says compare to snapon. I paid over $3000 for the 1/2 12v impact, 3/8 12v impact, the keyless drill, mini impact driver, and the drill/driver, 5 batteries, and a bank charger.
All I do is send them in and PAY to get em fixed. I could have the same [censored] for a fraction of the costs with Earthquake.
