Tools Crib Of The North Catalogs...


Tool Crib of The North Catalogs...

Did anybody here get them?

I miss them!

I used to love when I'd get mine.

The internet is great, but there's something about having something "in" your hand to read. I could read the same monthly issue over and over and over again.

I wish they still produced them.

I much prefer a catalog to reading stuff on a screen.

Yeah, they are.

I'd email Amazon for a Catalog, but they always said it was unavailable.

Hopefully, it is coming back.

Re: Tools Crib Of The North Catalogs...


About 5 or 6 years ago, maybe longer, Tool Crib sold their mail order business to Amazon.com. That's the reason that you haven't seen them for a while. They were under some sort of obligation not to continue mail orders. I know those sort of things expire after a while.
I liked going to their stores when I was in the area. The people were friendly, professional, and knew a lot about the tools...and of course all the tools.
I still have them send me parts and tools. As far as I know, they are still the best place to buy.

Ah yes!

A happy ending indeed (and not in the Asian Massage sort of way!).

The best store locally "was" Western Tool Supply, but I heard our local store was closing.

I used to get this catalog years ago and really liked it, good selection & prices. Where did you get the catalog from, all I see on the Tool Crib page is to visit one of their location stores to pick on up?

The Web is great, but I still love to hold "something" in my hand and read it while having a coffee.
