Where do you buy your Williams tools?

[devilsnight]

Two questions i guess. First off i've found maybe 2 websites that sell some of their products but definately not a full line. Where can you buy online or in store?? second, My supercombo set i ordered from my snapon dealer years ago but i ended up misplacing my 10mm recently and he can't seem to get a proper number to order one. Has anyone else bought any of this directly from your SO guy lately? Thanks

Toolsdelivered.com

I have never ordered from a Snap-On dealer.

ZTSupply on Ebay is first class. Toolsdelivered is also very solid. Both have treated me right. Recently I had to warranty a minor defect on a Williams ratchet. TD had Snap On Industrial handle the replacement directly.
Not sure you can order from a truck but you might try Epsteins as I think they do sell a little bit of Williams (not sure if they are a distributor though).
I think Williams is one of the very best bargains around in hand tools.

That's who I've bought a LOT of my Williams stuff from, also a member here, and one of my favorite sellers on eBay.

Agreed.

I've bought all of mine from ZTSupply, MRO Center and my wrenches off of Amazon. MRO has some of the best prices, but I can't recommend them lately since I'm still waiting on an order that I placed in January (that I was already charged for)...

Purchased lots of Williams stuff from toolsdelivered.com and Industrial Supply Company http://www.industrialsupplydenver.com.

Pricing is generally slightly better at toolsdelivered.com but customer service is better at Industrial Supply Company. ISC has made extra effort to order me Williams and Bahco stuff that toolsdelivered.com told me was unavailable.

Flea markets...older, used stuff...cheap...I keep a list in my wallet indicating which wrench's I'm still missing...Armstrong, too...I think you'd be impressed, if your in to that kind of older stuff...I have Armstrong's from pocket sized to ones about 4 feet in length...I paid about 50 cents for the small ones and I think $7 bucks for the big railroad wrench...I hang them on the wall for display ...The house is starting to lean to one side...lol I hammer railroad spikes in to the wall to mount them....I have a "fixture" that fits in the chuck of the lathe that can "turn" the last two inch's of the spike in to the size of a 16 penny nail...I've got hundreds of these railroad spikes...Should try to start a business selling them on eBay....

I buy them from a local industrial supply store. It's called production tool supply. It's actually nice to go to a store look at them first. http://www.pts-tools.com/cgi/CGP2HOME

Mrocenter.com. I purchased the Williams ratcheting screw drivers here. Came in about a week no shipping for about $ 25 each.

amazon has been good for me

I get 95% of mine from

Never had a problem

Most of my Williams Supercombo's in SAE and metric came from Epstein's and Ebay, but another decent place to find the entire line of Supercombo's is Suncoast Precision Tools. They have a website and also sell on Ebay. Williams is good stuff!

I wish I had a place like that.

 

[Brownsfan]

The place is awesome and the people are always helpful. I go in for one thing and walk out with a bunch. If you ever need a vise this place has like 30 on display to choose from. They also carry Wright and much more. With Sears going all China this place along with my Snap On and Cornwell guyare the only place I buy tools now

 

[SpiderGearsMan]

guess there are no toolstores where you can actually see Williams

I prefer my JH Williams tools made by the proud people of Buffalo, NY so I find them on ebay and the flea market. <grin>

 

[Sleipnir]

I got lucky and inherited mine :3

 

[parnass]

I bought a JH Williams WRS-1 Magnetic Ratcheting Screwdriver from Amazon.com 2 weeks ago.

You can see which Snap-On and JH Williams tools are sold through Amazon at this link:

I've got most of my older Williams from estate and garage sales all of my newer stuff has com from Toolsdelivered.com. Latest purchase was for the hardhandle screwdrivers. Good stuff.

I bought my offshore 1/4 and 3/8 deluxe sets on amazon. Got my US made williams flex heads from tools delivered.

 

[BajaBound]

Industrial Tool Supply is where my two large wrench sets came from. Toolsdelivered for Williams replacement sockets that where missing from my big blue point set and Amazon is delivering my 27mm add on wrench for my MM set.

I love all my williams tools.

 

[BajaBound]

So I just received my 27mm from amazon. Super disappointed to find out that 27mm and up in the MM line do not have the Williams version of the flank drive on the open end, it's just plain smooth. What I don't understand is that my largest SAE is 1 1/4 and it does have the flank drive.

 

[BajaBound]

Yeah I got that after I spoke with snap on for a warranty issue for another wrench. None the less it does not make sense to me to have some that are and some that are not. The 5/16 is the only one of my SAE's that does not have the modified end.
