going through junkers today and found a blue grinder that says homier on it

anyone ever heard of them plugged in works well

what's the deal

 

[SCscoutguy]

Around here they have big traveling tool sales that set up at the fair grounds and that is their brand they sell along with "speedway series". They are the exact same tools you buy at harbor freight they just have Homier stickers on them instead of Chicago Electric.

Homier is a traveling tool sale company. They are the absolute bottom of the barrel, worse than Harbor Freight.

Some of the stuff is ok. I have a hand truck that I bought from them that I have been using for several year now.

Isn't Homier corporately related to Northern Tool? I thought they shared owners. Almost all no-name flea-market quality stuff.

Around here were the home for Homier as far as i know there not in kahoots with Northern tool.The company started out as an auction house then the owners son started importing tools.They were decent in the beginning and have seemed to get worse.They used to have stores around here the only one that still exist is in Huntington Indiana.They also deal in Chineese tractors.

I like to think of them as the Homer Simpson tool company. When it breaks from Homier, you scream "Doohhhhhh!!!" Little, if anything, I would buy from them.

Makes Habor Freight look like the Snap-On store. I've been to a few of the Homier and Cummins sales and won't waste my time at those places. The only thing I ever bought that was any good was 50 rolls of electrical tape for 5.00.

The Homier I have seen and held is much, much worse than the average HF tool stock.

Take the copper off the motor and recycle it. Take the few buck you get and put it towards a Metabo grinder(on sale IIRC) at Fastenal.

There is stuff from the Homier tools sales that are a waste of money.Their brad point drill bits are this way.I bought a set of these and would not drill through anything,dull.I ended up giving the drill bits to my father's clean up guy,Lee for scrap metal and kept the case.Cummins is this way,bought a small LED flexible flashlight from them and it was no good.Returned it back for another one and it was no good either.I bought a set of Truecraft chrome 1/4 drive universal sockets from one of the Cummins tool sales,first set I got had no sockets in the case and took that one back which I did get one with sockets in the case

From what I've seen of Homier tools they are about as bottom of the barrel as you get.
