Good place to get tools online?

[Djstorm100]

I've been looking on tool topia but seems a lot of people on here have had problems with them. Was wondering what other websites there are that sale tools at great prices but quality.

 

[Jeeper]

I have used both tooltopia and thetoolwarehouse and haven't had problems with either.

i dont buy tools online.
actually i dont anything online anymore.

i dont like buying anything i cant lay my hands on before buying.

only tool ive purchased online was my miller welding hood. after i had done some research, and narrowed down my choices, i went to LWS'ers to check them out. none of them were willing to even come close on the price, 2 of them said thats our price, take it or leave it.
i do buy parts from summit, if/ when i need them. local speed shops are way over the top on prices,, dont have any stock, and it's usually at least 7 days before they can get anything.
summit ships to my door in 3 or 4 days at the most.
ive even see one local shop checking summits site for availability, even with my discount from them, their price was even higher than summit.

I have spent $2000+ with tool topia and haven't had a single problem. I would recommend them over most of the other sites. Chads toolbox is a different story.

Tooltopia is great, I've had nothing but good service from them.

I actually just placed my first order with Tooltopia, earlier this week. Having learned of them from this site, and been quite impressed with their selection and prices. I've yet to read any negative experiences with them.

I buy as much of my speed parts through Summit as possible. I like that they will beat any advertized price on any they sell. I'll find the cheapest price then have them buy it. For the things I can't get through Summit like BG carbs I go to Jegs. Both have outstanding service.

reason I asked is I searched tool topia and found a few threads that were saying they had bad luck with them.

Thanks guys

I like amazon.com. I am yet to try tool topia but I am not opposed to it.

Another thumbs up for Tooltopia. Got some Christmas gifts from there and will probably end up getting some GP Impact sockets as well as a 3/4" impact from Tooltopia as well.

 

[welderwink]

amazon is good for me.

 

[jay50]

Tooltopia, thetoolwarehouse

Etooldirec also.

toolup.com, amazon

Go to good online auctions like ebay or if you carnt find what you are looking on for on there go to machine mart they sell good stuff at good prices.

So this is your second post eh?, tell us how long you have owned machinemart?

I think Amazon (and sometime eBay) are the only places you'll find killer deals on anything. Other than that, Chad's is the only place I've used mostly because it's a good source for European exotica. I admit that nepros.net is calling my name, for the few things they carry at least. Don't need any of it (I mean, who really needs more 3/8" socket stuff?), but it sure looks cool.

 

[davesnothere]

tooltopia is swell in my book.
they have a hot babe bringing you deals every day.

 

[Gokart]

Toolup.com, and Amazon are your best bets, usually you can find a deal or two on amazon, and toolup.com has most of the tools instock.

 

[Davefr]

Mscdirect.com.

Use a coupon code otherwise their prices are on the high side.

Their shipping speed and customer service is excellent!

I have used tooldiscounter.com but do not like their hard to navigate site and have to call for shipping estimates. Lately I have been using tooltopia.com, and amazon.com, I have not tried toolwarehouse yet but have heard good things about them.

 

[oldwino]

a couple that work for me are: harryepstein.com (good prices, COO=USA) and Grainger

 

[dreaminbimmers]

I've bought tools from a lot of websites. Often times I will see something on the tools trucks and find it online under a different brand name for a fraction of the price. I've had nothing but good service from tooltopia.com. They usually have the lowest prices as well if you factor in shipping.

If you know the specific tool you are looking for try using
thefind.com

This site will search thousands of other sites so you can compare prices.

I placed a bunch of orders from tooltopia this year and for the most part am really happy. The prices are usually way lower than anywhere else. They ship quick and shipping is cheap or free if you order more than 100 bucks of stuff.

Have only had two minor complaints in all my orders with them. One was I ordered a lisle 4.5 gallon drain pan, lisle spill free funnel and an oil filter wrench and paid 6.99 for shipping. The package showed up and all they did was throw the funnel and filter wrench in the drain pan and wrap a bunch of shrink wrap around everything. It showed up and was fine but thought it could be a little better packed. And the second was just last week I ordered a mityvac 6835 brake bleeder. In the picture it shows the auto filler for the master cylinder that clamps on and also shows the 3 plastic plates that sit on top of the master and adaptors that screw onto brake fluid bottles and go to the plates. My kit only came with the one setup that clamps to the master so I emailed them and it took them a day to even get back to me and told me the plates weren't included, they were an older design that the clamp on bottle replaced. I was a little upset the picture was wrong but nothing big.

All in all they are a good company with a huge selection of great priced tools. I will still order more from them in the near future.

I've noticed HF raising prices on certain items which makes some of the HF stuff not much cheaper than the name brand tools from tooltopia.

glad i read this thread just went to tooltopia look like they have everything. with rising gas prices cheaper to order online stay home save gas.

 

[fordbroncodave]

i check tooltopia, amazon, and tiretoolsonline.com

who ever has the best price (after shipping charges) gets my vote per product. if the entire order is cheaper on one of the 3 websites i will buy from them.

lots of little hidden gems on tiretoolsonline that you can't get anywhere else for those prices, even when shipping cost is factored in
