Aside from Crappy Tire Sears ect. can anyone recomend a store where tool are sold at a reasonable price. Stuff like sockets, impact, wrenches ect. Something along Princess Auto quality.

Thanks
 
You try Ebay?
 
Busy Bee, for offshore stuff. Not the best but if you only use the stuff occasionally they're fine.

I have a question: if you want princess auto type stuff, why not ummm just go to Princess Auto?

If you want better stuff try Atlas Machinery on Queen west of University. If you want really good quality stuff try Lee Valley. Kind of over priced but some of their woodworking tools are top notch.

I personally don't like sears cordless tools. I never found them very ergonomically designed. If you want sockets to last a lifetime, they're the best next to snap on or grey. Mastercraft are supposedly guaranteed for life too.

www.bestbuys.ca lists a bunch of places where you can buy tools cheap. But again, they're offshore stuff that won't last if you use them everyday.
 
Home Depot here int he states carry homeowner and professional tool lines. I would check with them. But don't go loking for walmart prices
 
Craigslist has a lot of tools, some brand new, but it makes you wonder if they are stolen. Kinda interesting to browse through.
 
Some of the best tools can be found right here on terb.

I like princess auto but I also like to shop around. Thanks for the other places I'll check those out.

With tools you don't really get deals. It is not in or out of fashion, you don't have a 2008 model coming out soon.....
Sears, CT, Home Depot (Husky) 50% off their pricey models, when they overstock for the season or need to make room, if you willing to wait, but quantity limited.

Some of the best bargains are from U.S. Price Club, Sears, Walmart & B&D (waiting for Dewalt), time for another roadtrip.
 
Het, those ppl at kbc tools are on drugs...they have a 12 volt dewalt drill listed for $234.00 that I paid $99.00 for at homo depot. They also have the 9.6 volt drill listed for $167.00 that I paid $79.00 for at Rona...jesus, do you have to pay THAT much extra to not have to deal with homeowners stealing contractor only parking spaces?? lol
