Never heard of them... That doesn't mean much though.

I would suggest, if you ready to drop that much coin at once, get to know your local (or nearby) tool supply. They can make some pretty good deals, and once you start a relation$hip with them, they will be there to help you out of jam.

Don't underestimate the value of buying locally.

Re: Toolsteal.com


If you can't get what you need locally, give ToolKing.com a look... I recently had to spend a few grand replacing stolen tools and I ordered the majority from them, was real happy with the prices and selection... They had almost everything I was looking for in stock and shipped immediately, I was back to work in no time. Great service there, but I agree w/ Timelessquality about supporting the local suppliers when you can.

Re: Toolsteal.com


i don't shop at places with steal in their name.

TOOLKING!!!!

I've spent a lot of time checking prices and they are the lowest reputable dealer I've found. Everything I've bought from them has been great even the refurbished stuff.

Re: Toolsteal.com


I just dropped 3 grand at Tool King yesterday. They are a local company based out of Denver, they have a store here and I've bought probably 80% of our tools from them over the years. We have a ton of their refurbished tools, and have had a very little issues with them being refurbished. They are big resellers of Dewalt. Probably why we have a ton of Dewalt tools. They also offer a lot of Dewalt cordless tools 'bare' where they sell just the tool itself, no case, no charger, no battery dirt cheap, so if you are like us and have all the batteries and chargers you need you can really do well with bare versions. For instance I bought a 18vt drywall cut out tool yesterday bare for about $60.00. New with battery and charger and case was about $150.00

Mike,
I wish Toolking had a storefront in Texas too. I have the same success with their refurbs & bare tools. The only way to go.

Ok I check out Toolking and they didnt have the combo set I was after, the 5piece with a jig saw. Almost all the combo sets were out of stock. Toolsteal had a rn46 and cap stapler combo I was after.

Re: Toolsteal.com


I have dealt with http://www.maxtool.com/ and have had no problems with their reman Dewalt tools. Otherwise i buy all my tools locally at a friends hardware store, he gives me awesome deals on new tools.
