I searched this site, but I could not find any mention of zorotools.com.

Has anyone bought tools from them, and would you recommend them?

Thanks.

I've purchased from them a few times. Always quick shipping. They always get me back by sending enticing discount codes :)

I agree, I purchased some sewing machine pulleys for a project and a few months later, the must have missed me, because I got a $30 off a $75 order coupon, so now I have a shiny new 3/8 Zkylops ratchet.

They ship stuff pretty fast and any order above $50, apparently before the coupon, has free shipping. I feel like I got too good a deal on the Zyklops, so I'll have to come back to buy more stuff.

My only complaint is that their site is hard to just browse through randomly, because sometimes I just like to fill my cart with every tool I want and then narrow it down to what I "need".

I recently ordered a couple of items from zorotools.
They have free shipping at this time.

And I needed to return an item - free shipping on the
return, also. I never heard of that before.

I've bought from them several times. Fast shipping. Good prices on Proto tools.

They do have some good promos from time to time. July was free shipping month. I've also used some $30 off $75 coupons recently.

They ship very quickly but items can come "piece meal" from all over the country.

Zoro Tools is simply a front end for Grainger. (just like Drillspot)

My problem is their terrible website. (even worse then Sears). The search feature is horrible and unlike MSC, Enco or Mcmaster you can't go straight to a catalog page PDF.

I requested a paper catalog but what they sent was just a watered down/incomplete version.

If it weren't for the recent promos, I'd skip them in favor of MSC or Mcmaster.

Ive bought there with good results. I was a little worried at first because the price was alot cheaper than anywhere else.

I've used them. If you're not in a hurry, buy something inexpensive from them first. Then use the follow-up offer to get the bigger-ticket item. You'll get 10% off, 15% off, or a dollar amount off of a purchase of a certain size.

I've had good experience purchasing tools from Zoro. I believe they are offering free shipping extended through August.

They have been great! Some of their listings might be confusing and not organized well on the web site. But they ship SO darn quickly it's amazing.

I don't care much for their website but, if you can find the item you're looking for, they seem to be ok. their prices are cheaper than MSC or Grainger on some Proto stuff I ordered. Prompt shipping, I ordered their catalog to see if that will make online ordering easier.
