Best on line "small" tool store?

Re: Best on line \"small\" tool store?

I have used Amazon.com , ToolCrib, ToolKing, and also bought stuff at HD and Lowes. The thing I have found with HD is that not every store carries the same stuff. I went looking for a Bosch rotating hammer drill last year and there was only 1 out of the 4 HD stores I looked at even carried the model I was looking for. Looking at Amazon is a good place to start - you will usually not find a much lower price than what they give you. Use the Amazon price as a reference point to see whether the local places are in the ballpark. In my experience some HD's and local tool stores have prices that can be close enough to online prices that it isn't worth waiting and paying the shipping if you want the product right away.

My Dewalt is like that one, except that it doesn't have the quick change. I bought it about 2 years ago. I have lost count how many discs that I have used up, but I have used more cut-off discs than grind discs. If I had to buy again, it would be an other Dewalt.

Tool Crib catalogs outnumber Northern Tool catalogs by 3 to 1. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Maybe there is a downside to ordering from either one. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif )</font>

Tool catalogs are my favorite "no brain" reading material. I look forward to their arrival and then just page through them for something to do.

Thanks everyone for the input. I thought about what to get and I ended up with the grinder I was talking about from Lowes. Wow what a little monster. if you really don't hold on to that thing it will fly out of your hand. I also love the case it came with, protects the grinder really nice (can NOT move around in there) and the spot for 10 wheels or more (has a stud that holds them). After looking on line at the different places I thought it would be best to go to Lowes, it wasn't worth the few less dollars to me if something was wrong with it to send it back to a on line place.

Again thanks to everyone for all your post.
