Good tool sites???

[Bunit98]

Hello everybody

I live in london Ontario and want to know what places are good to use on the
Web for tools. Every site I seem to go to I get nabbed for 15$ shipping on a 5$ tool. So just wondering what's sites you'd recommend me.

Thank you,

Check out Cpo outlets.. They sell every major brand or everything, offer refurb units at discounts, and they are free shipping with most purchases I believe. I got my refurb m18 fuel combo for $209 shipped for free. It's $369 in Home Depot.

Chads toolbox, KC Tool, and German Hand Tools, Samstagsales come to my mind.

I buy a lot of tools, these seven get most of my money because they are where most of the deals are online. Not the only places for great deals, but a large share of the online bargains.

● Cripe Distributing
● ebay
● amazon
● Mechanics Bits & Tools
● Tooltopia
● Zoro
● Harry j. Epstein (closeout section)

and don't forget:

● the classified section right here at Garage Journal!

Im just down the road in strathroy and shipping in Canada ***** to be honest. Ive used jccayer, blackrock tools, kms tools, amazon.ca and ebay. Lately amazon has some pretty good deals just hard to find and free shipping for the most part.

Yes 3rdgen even on amazon you have to spend 25$ to get free shipping and I usually only want a thing that's 10 bucks haha, never win I guess...

Maybe bundle up a lot of small tools in one shipment from a place like Cripe for example. Probably save you a lot on s/h. I can usually easily find at least 5 items I need/want from them.

I don't know how it works for Canada, here in the U.S. if you're a prime member you get a lot better shipping. Most items (not all) are free 2day (with membership, so not 'free'). If it's prime you don't have to be stuck with the $35 min purchase. It only pays for itself if you're a frequent amazon customer though. Might be worth checking into.

+1!

Funny, I just bought a stick of antiperspirant and had it shipped 2-day for free. We have Amazon orders at least once per week. Prime is worthwhile for us for sure.

Wow, man, I thought I was a germophobe... Ordering deodorant online to avoid going to the store! Brilliant! LOL
