Professional Power Tools – Mail Order Outlets

Mail Order Outlets for Professional Power Tools

Following is a list of mail order outlets that sell professional power tools. I have bought virtually every power tool I own in this manner. I have always been satisfied with the prompt delivery and convenience. Never have I had to return a tool for any reason. In many instances you save money as you do not have to pay sales tax. This savings often pays for the shipping and handling. Be sure to compare apples with apples when shopping. Match model numbers exactly. Some tools come with cases and others don't. Cordless tools may or may not have an extra battery.

The only drawback to the process is that you need to know what tool/model number you want. It is hard to develop a feel for a tool by looking at a two dimensional photograph in a catalog. You simply have to visit a tool store and touch the tool there. If you know the price at that time, you can then possibly deal with the store merchant to match the catalog price, or possibly sweeten the deal with a blade or drill bits. It never hurts to ask for better terms or pricing. All they can say is "No."

I urge you to check out the following websites. You will be shocked at some of the tools and equipment that you can buy through the mail. Eight years ago I purchased a five hp gasoline powered air compressor from one of these outfits. The unit was delivered right to my front door! I'm confident that you will be impressed with the service.
