Where do you buy your cordless power tools from?
Has this changed over the past few years?
Which retailer(s) are you most likely to order from in the future?
Advertisement
Here are the retailers I’ve purchased cordless power tools from in the past year, year in a half:
- Acme Tools
- Amazon
- Harbor Freight
- Home Depot
- Tool Nut
But also keep in mind – I don’t buy a lot of cordless power tools anymore. My next power tool purchase will likely be another corded sander. For cordless, there’s nothing on my radar or shopping list right now.
Nearly all of my cordless purchases in the past year, year and a half were for testing or review purposes. One of the more notable exceptions was the Hitachi/Metabo HPT 18V triple hammer impact driver and bonus battery and charger starter kit bundle I bought last year, and that was because I chose to keep my review sample as a personal purchase and thus needed to balance things out. I gave away that Hitachi brushless triple hammer impact driver in the most recent batch of giveaways.
If I needed something *right now*, my go-to stores would likely be Acme Tools, Amazon, and Tool Nut, depending on pricing and availability.
Home Depot has good promos at times, and my last cordless purchase with them was because no other retailer had the Dewalt 20V Max Atomic reciprocating saw in stock yet.
Side Note: Every now and then I update our list of recommended stores and retailers.

It doesn’t surprise me that I tend to shop based on price. After all, why would I spend more for the same tool if I could source it for less? But the list of retailers I typically look at is somewhat limited. That’s partially because most retailers carry all of the same tools, at least as far as cordless power tools go, and also because pricing doesn’t vary very often aside from vendor-specific special promos.
Looking at a couple of years of cordless power tool purchases, I tend to make more impulse purchases at Home Depot and Lowe’s, or I shop there when there are launch or bundle exclusivity arrangements.
But generally, I’ve been spending more with independent companies.
For corded power equipment, I’ve ordered from Acme Tools with great experiences. I’d be more comfortable ordering larger items from there, than say a big box store. Yes, most retailers drop-ship large equipment, with orders shipping from warehouses, but you still need a good go-between for when things go wrong, and I feel that smaller or specialty tool retailers will serve that role better.
I remember my first Tool Nut order, which was actually through Amazon with Tool Nut as a 3rd party seller. There was a very minor issue (missing part, found at the bottom of a large box), but what stayed in my mind in the ~9 years since then was how they answered the phone on a Saturday and also knew what I was asking about and how to help me.
I had one other issue with a Tool Nut order since then, and they made it right.
I wonder – have you sought advice from an online cordless power tool retailer, or local retailer or channel? If you’re reading this post, you’re probably used to seeking cordless power tool reviews online. But there are times when you might need to be pushed off the fence towards one direction over another.
Honestly, I have near zero faith that I could walk into a home center and receive good advice about which cordless power tools to buy. In contrast, I know that if I walked into say Tool Nut or Ohio Power Tool, or maybe if I gave them a call, someone there would be able to help me. Hmm, I wonder if or how we can test that. Maybe one day we’ll ask for a volunteer or two.
Back to the core question – where do you buy your cordless power tools from? Why?
I suppose another question to ask would be where you don’t buy cordless power tools from – stores that you avoid. Personally, I steer clear of ebay and other 3rd party marketplaces. Industrial suppliers also often have much-inflated pricing, and when they don’t, I question the “freshness” of their inventory, as I don’t want to buy a kit with a 3-year-old battery, or an older version of a bare tool (it’s rare, but tools are sometimes updated with new specs or features).

I go with Home Depot in person for cordless tools (Ridgid and Ryobi counting on the task), and Homedepot.com and Directtooldoutlet.com for online cordless tool buys.
However, for hand tools and corded tools, I go to Lowes, since they are much closer to home.
TimL
HomeDepot. ACME. Rakuten (CPO, FAO). I usually buy based on price. Holiday and special sales / coupon codes are almost always in play for a purchase. I have greatly expanded my black and yellow fleet over the last year. I check here and slickdeals everyday to see if there are any deals.
Go to HD on vendor demo days, they will often give out free batteries or blades/bits depending on what you buy.
I usually do research online and get the feel of something in a store before actually buying it.
I recently (?) lost my impact driver so I’ll be shopping for one soon.
Chris
I just bought a 2-pack of m18 3ah batteries that where around for the holidays at home depot($99) https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/milwaukee-m18-3ah-high-output-battery-2-pack-deal-112519/%3C/a%3E …I missed this one.
I got them from ebay for $75 w/ shipping and no tax. In TN that same pack would have cost me ~$108.
I will only buy stuff on ebay because of the unbelievably superb buyer protections (look up all the horror stories from ebay sellers and just know that ebay always sides with the buyer…even to the detriment of it’s own sellers).
I only mention this because of your last paragraph, but I also get where your coming from.
I buy most of my power tools from whoever offers the best price.
Home depot deal of the day (Home depot 10% off coupons ~1/month help) plus easy locations to swing by when needed).
Slickdeals alerts will pull me towards most of the deals from places like ACME, CPO, OPT, etc.
I think Lowes has my least amount of interest (Lack of knowledgeable employees in my area, got rid of knipex and other serious tools, went more “designer/house wife” focused, and general tool focus leans towards lower quality).

I use Home Depot, Amazon, Acme Tools as well as Harbor Freight and Northern Tool. I agree with Stuart that the likelihood of getting an informed representative is rare. My HD has a full time Milwaukee Rep onsite and he has been very helpful at times with specifics I had questions about with regards to varying Milwaukee models but of course I wouldn’t ask him about the competitor since I know where his loyalties lie (and rightfully so). I’d be curious whether or not stores with in-house MFR reps do better in that product line than stores without, seems like they probably would. I’ve noticed DeWalt splitting there product line so as it would appear to avoid having the same exact model in competing Big box Home Centers I guess to avoid having to match or beat a competitors price under their stores price match scheme.
ca
Amazon almost exclusively.
Cr8on
Lowe’s, Direct Tools Outlet(store and online), Home Depot, Menards, Amazon,
Ace Hardware, and ACME, in that order by volume over the past couple years. Lowe’s being the closest place to get decent promo deals.

Purchased From Acme, Home Depot(in store & online), Toolnut. All three have been great. I usually check which has the lowest free shipping minimum purchase. I might be looking at a cordless track saw. Was wondering if Festool has a cordless model 75 in the works? Will Milwaukee enter a new track saw? The Festool 75 has a slip clutch to help with kickback, is that a big deal? I will probably wait for the next generation of track saws to come out. I have a small business retailer about 65 miles away. I will probably give them my Festool business, if in the price ballpark with others.
Rob
Festool implements price management through it’s contracts, so anything with their name on it is the same price no matter where you shop. Kickback on a plunge cutting tracksaw is kind of a non-issue since, in the case of one, the blade will retract into the housing.
Bob
Toolnut, CPO, Amazon, HD online, etc. Whoever has the best deal with free shipping and no tax. I typically go to Lowe’s or Home Depot to put my hands on a tool first to check ergonomics. Usually check tool guyd especially around the holidays. I’ve got everything I NEED at this point but if I find something for a good deal that I WANT I may snatch it up.
Funny thing is there is a local DeWalt authorized service center near me. They’re not even close to being competitive on the new tools they have. Maybe it’s just designed to be a show room unless you’re a sucker and wana pay full retail lol. Even then they don’t have everything on display.
Robert Adkins
I’ve had everything I need for 2 years, but it hasn’t stopped me from buying 4-5 more cordless tools. The more I get, the more I want. When the package comes in, there’s nothing quite like it.
fred
When (10 years ago) I was buying in multiples (8, 16, 24 etc.) at a time – I often went with industrial suppliers who would offer deals (like free tools thrown in) or discounts on bulk purchases. When we needed something in a hurry, we’d settle for what they had at a local Home Depot unless we were working near one of the tool distributors where we had an account ( like AW Meyer, Dynamite Tool, Ace Tool, Coastal Tool, Tools Plus et al.)
More recently – buying for myself – or more likely for gifting – I’ve been shopping around looking for deals at online retailers – comparing Amazon to folks like:
Acme, Burns Tool, International Tool, MaxTool, Ohio Power Tools, Toolbarn, ToolNut, ToolsPlus and ToolUp.
Based on deals, my last (pre-Xmas 2019 through this year) few purchases were at Acme, MaxTool and ToolUp.
Blythe
I shop mostly at Home Depot for tools, because of the ease of returns if I don’t like something or find a better deal
Diego
Wherever I get the best price/bundle. This includes coupons and membership discounts, if you do your homework you can save a lot of money. Although, you have to have patience.
Matt
Lowe’s, Menard’s & Blaine’s. In the old days Sears.
I do get my Diablo saw blades at HD.
Mopar4wd
Home depot and lowes mostly. Sometimes Amazon and Ebay. Ebay is usually because I’m looking for something odd or something I would use infrequently so used is fine. I have bought generic batteries from both Ebay and Amazon and have been happy with both.
Mike47
Amazon, Ebay, Home Depot, Lowes, Harbor Freight, in about that order. Amazon and Ebay are my favorites based on availability, shipping, return policy, and usually price. Never had an adverse issue with either. I hate driving to HD or Lowes, only to find the item(s) I want are out of stock. I have tried to shop both on-line but they block my browser… you would think it would be the other way around, but even with all the browser blocks removed I still can’t get in either of these sites.
Steve
Over the last ten years I’ve bought most of my tools from Tyler Tool (CPO) and my local Coastal store because they have a good stock of DeWalt and good sales occasionally. I have bought a few things from Acme lately and Amazon is always in play if their price is good. Thanks to all you gentlemen my searches just got more complicated now that I’m going to check on ToolNut, MaxTool, ToolBarn, ToolPlus, etc. Since it is just for me that doubles my pleasure time. In the old days I loved to wander hardware stores. Now I wander hardware and tool sites. Makes my butt fatter but I’m ok with that.
PETE
99% of the time- homedepot. It’s close, they have good prices. Otherwise it’s amazon for those unique cordless tools.
RobTR8
I shop CPO, HD & Lowes. Sometimes Acme but there shipping is stupid. Speedy is anything but. Price is often times not the deciding factor.
Made the mistake of walking down the miter saw isle at HD yesterday. I do not need a new miter saw, my 10YO Ridgid is just fine….But I saw the new DW716 and really liked it. Went home and checked CPO. Great price, $259 with XPS!
Grabbed it and then did a little more research (previous TG posts) and discovered the DWS variant. Checked CPO (no gots) checked HD, none in stores, $276 with even quicker shipping than what the CPO was going to be. Called CPO and CXL’d the DW, grabbed the DWS from HD.com
Went back to my local HD and bought the new Ridgid MSUV.
PlaneGrain
One company named Carbide Processors had some fair prices(<<(when I was looking at Incra miter gauges). Ohio power has lots of tools. But I have never ordered from either. Lowe’s closed the store near me.
Rob
Carbide Processors is a great company. They make great custom sawblades, so I hear.
fred
Their own brand saw blades are very good. They were our source for blades (scoring and main blade) for our sliding table saw. That said – I don’t believe that they sell much in the way of power tools.
Matthew
I mainly use Lowes and Home Depot because the military discount negates sales tax (Lowes applies it to my online orders automatically and HD will apply it if I pick up in store). I have one of each next to each other so it is very convenient to compare what each has. Sometimes I will search HD app for availability while in Lowes (and vice versa) or to see if there is a price match available. I rarely look to Amazon or eBay and there aren’t any convenient Ace locations to me.
Scott K
If I know what I want, my decision is driven by price which typically means Amazon or Home Depot. I’ve had much better experiences ant Home Depot than Lowes and so I’ll browse HD if I want to see something in person or I’m not sure what exactly I need. I bought my Echo backpack blower from an independent store because the price was nominally more and they offer great service.
Vic
eBay, Home Depot
Never amazon
mike
thepowertoolstore.com
best place to buy Milwaukee tools there is
Pablo
Cripe Distributing is a pretty good wholesale source for lots of good quality tools (including some cordless). Their own website is a bit tedious to navigate, but they also have an eBay store. I’ve spoken to them on the phone and they are very helpful and will adjust shipping costs based on the weight of your order. In other words they aren’t building margin into shipping fees, or marking up items with free shipping. If you live near by, you can even pick up items at their warehouse. I’d recommend them to anyone in search of a good tools.
Richard G.
Ebay, Amazon, Homedepot when on sale or wnen new tool comes out and I need/ want it now. Most other tools I bought from Toolguyd links?♂️?
Mopar
Home Depot almost exclusively for work, because it’s the fastest and least hassle of all my available options.
For personal stuff, Amazon is generally the first choice if the price is right and not too big of a hurry. I have Prime, so the shipping is free, and I have a second home I’m refurbing in another state that has no sales tax. I’m there at least every other weekend, and right now I probably need it there anyway, not home. Also have an Amazon credit card, and I get 5% credit when I use that on amazon (not 3rd party) purchases, and I usually take the slower shipping option for another $1 credit.
CPO and ebay also shipped to the tax free weekend house, or if the price is right/I need it ASAP then HD, since I can walk there from my main house.
Chris
Acme tools has been a favorite. Home Depot / Lowe’s are a close second. I recently bought the m12 right angle die grinder from tool nut, as they had it for $10 off for preorder.
Acme is usually my first choice though.
Saman P Perera
Amazon.
MarylandUSA
I prefer to buy my tools used: It has already depreciated, it keeps the money in America, and I’m cheap. My go-to source is eBay, followed by Amazon third-party, followed by Amazon Warehouse (“new” but returned or with damaged packaging).
I haven’t had much luck finding used tools that I want on Craigslist or Facebook, mostly because the tools I want tend to be less common, such as Makita CXT 12V.
No matter how tempting the price for a new tool on Craigslist, I resist; I fear it’s been stolen.
Eric
Most of my cordless power tools in recent years has been ordered online mostly from Home Depot, my father has been ordering a lot from CPO lately. Most of my corded tools I have been getting at Lowe’s, the closest Lowe’s to us is only 40 mins away or so as where the closest Home Depot is a couple hours, the reason I order thru Home Depot is only cause Lowe’s doesn’t sell Milwaukee or Ridgid. Really at the end of the day I TRY to buy from everybody and spread my money around a little vs giving it all just to one company, this world is getting to the point where all brands is owned by a handful of companies tools included (just look at Stanley black and decker) and I’m not a big fan of “monopolies” I’d rather see everybody make a little vs somebody make it all. Not that me spreading my little bit of money I got around will make a difference it makes me feel better don’t mind spending a few extra dollars here and there if I have to.
Toolfreak
My 12V Bosch stuff was from Lowe’s and Amazon. Kobalt 24V from Lowe’s, and Black & Decker 20V from Lowe’s and…Walmart.
I haven’t bought any power tools from smaller retailers since their prices are usually high and their inventory is often years old since others don’t buy from them much either. I don’t buy from ebay or most other online sites since I want a valid warranty in case I ever need it or any risk of receiving a refurb or some other funny business.
I do my own research when buying tools or anything else, I don’t really ever expect to go into a store and get good buying advice from anyone who works there. Sure, there are probably plenty of people who can help the less informed customers at least make a good decision, but if I go to a store, it’s probably to just buy the tool or handle the displays before deciding what to buy.
Jp
Prefer HD and Acmetools.com. I don’t like Lowes at all. Prefer these due to customer service above all else. I like that HD pricing is straightforward. Acme irritates me with all the exclusions listed, but i think they make up for it by the links they provide. HD doesn’t list exclusions, but lits easy to filter out special buts, etc.
Matt
I would not dismiss eBay so quickly. I have gotten a few cordless power tools off eBay, and often save 10-25% off what any brick-and-mortar location. This can be particularly a good choice if you are not in urgent need. It is true they are open box or returns, but they are still good Dewalt or Milwaukee tools. I have gotten from Amazon in the past, and those in the Mid west always have the opportunity of Menards or Fleet Farm. Fleet Farm often I have found to have some of the best selection for brick-and-mortar in both Dewalt and Milwaukee tools.
JoeM
Haven’t bought any tools in several years, due to budget issues.
When I DID buy them, they were from BlackRock Tools online, Lee Valley, or Amazon.
I rarely, if ever, go to physical stores anymore. I don’t like crowds, I don’t like browsing, and the prices are better when you buy exactly what you want, without being tempted or “Sold” on things I don’t need to buy.
Frank D
Most powertools have comes from the nationwide blue or orange big box store chains, with some Amazon ( Bosch ) and some other online etailers due to the prior three not having the exact products ( Milwaukee, EU tool brands, … )
Jim Felt
Home Depot online with store delivery, Amazon, eBay US and worldwide, AmazonUK, local commercial vendors, MicroTools and Acme. And by choice only buy building materials, especially unique or hard to source types, from a couple of local lumber yards!
/vendors. Never ever HD. And I just don’t care for the Lowes vibe.
TMI?

Berland’s House of Tools.
After that, Amazon and Tool Nut.
josh Morris
Cpooutlets.com
Place has pretty good ship speeds
And officially has offensively low prices
I picked up 1600$ worth of metabo hpt multivolt tools. Around new years
Toolnut.com
Good site haven’t head issues good deals
Acmetools.com
Again they carry some stuff i couldn’t find on other sites
Amazon.com
Obvious
Depot and lowes its usually my go to for instant needs when doing house stuff.
Ray CR
I buy power tools on black Friday at Acme and Home Depot. The Home Depot sales last thru Christmas with all the displays set up.
It was just my first time At Acme but they had a Makita bundle with coupon no one could match.
At Harbor freight I only buy 22 inch tool cabinets, screwdrivers ,
6 point impact sockets of all drives, Doyle pliers and nitrile gloves.
i had a problem once with a power tool from Harbor Freight so I still only buy Makita.
My neighbor , a diesel mechanic, buys portable compressors and generators for his service vans with the extended warranties from Harbor Freight. Every six months he takes them back under extended warranty when they wear out.
Josh
I tend to buy in store with 99% of all my tools. I can only think of 2 tools i have bought online and neither were cordless power tools. Now that sears is pretty much gone i tend to go to Home Depot or menards. Very rarely do i get power tools from lowes or harbor freight but it has happened. I don’t consider anything online a now tool unless i can order and pick up in the store.
JR3 Home Performance
I usually shop on price too sticking to authorized retailers for power tools. Sometimes I’ll go for accessories outside authorized retailers but only if I don’t expect any warranty issues or fakes. On another note I walked into the toolnut store once. Service was great but they had recently switched over to just having a service counter. I was hoping to walk isles of tools just for fun. I’m sure they would have shown me anything I wanted or answered any questions though
Perry
I actually shop doitbest first, to support my local (Meeks) lumberyard . If the price is too high, then I shop amazon, lowes (it’s the only other local tool store), came or home depot.
Really though, I’m pretty well stocked up, so it’s usually a backup replacement so I watch ToolGuyd to see what sales are going on
Robert
CPO outlets, Ebay, locally from guys that buy return pallets from HD.
I never buy from HD/Lowes unless it’s on the clearance rack and I can get them to give me a deeper discount.
Pretty much all of my handtools are purchased from Lowe’s/HD.
Paul C
Hate to disagree with some of your points Stu.
1. Yes I agree that a lot of the industrial suppliers are very highly inflated prices. They exist for a reason. The worst ones are the locals. If I’m on a job at say a paper mill and I suddenly find I need XYZ tool to finish the job, do I wait for Amazon 2 day delivery or go buy it at Stu’s Industrial Supply & Tool right at the end of Contractor Blvd. in town? How about when I need a socket over 3/4″ diameter? Lowes? Don’t kid yourself. HD? Maybe. Fastenal? Yep but you’re going to pay for it. It’s a win-win. For certain items even finding the vendor is no easy feat to accomplish, and that’s what the Graingers and McMaster-Carrs of the world offer. Although I order them off Amazon now just try to find a 13/16″ “utility socket” which is a 5 sided socket instead of the usual 6 sides used on transformer enclosures, fire hydrants, and man holes. This used to be something I’d only find at the local lineman supply store.
2. Don’t throw the industrials out just yet even for your use. To compete with Amazon, Grainger created Zoro. Zoro gives the rest of us the same discounts as the big industrial buyers which is about 15-20% off Grainger list. By itself this gets them comparable to typical retail prices. I’ve found on certain items such as Extech multimeters they are often the best prices. But then they have a rotating 20% off coupon for 2 broad categories of items and when that hits they are usually the best prices in town.
3. My track record with buying laptops, tablets, tools, and a lot of electronics in terms of refurbishments is very, very good. If it has a warranty it is generally not worth it to the company to eat a second return so look for that. Otherwise it could be grey market goods which is a big hit or miss. My feeling is that unlike production new which might have never been touched by human hands, at least a refurb has been completely inspected once and minor known factory defects corrected before repackaging and it was also inspected by a customer. So your odds of getting a good one are actually better. This is a good reason to shop CPO even though their regular retail prices are a bit high.
4. Along the same lines as #3, don’t reject Ebay outright. Like Amazon you have to carefully look at the vendor. Unlike Amazon they have a somewhat tighter “net” to catch scammers and more liberal money back warranties (Pay Pal). I have made some substantial tool and supply purchases using EBay. As an example of supplies, it’s kind of hard to do anything to an electrical lug. Contractors will buy large amounts then then try to reuse them on future jobs or offload them on Ebay for a fraction of retail cost. As a tool example tool repair shops often end up with tools that customers decide not to repair or never return to pick up. So the repair shops sell them locally or on EBay. As an example I purchased a battery operated hydraulic 12 ton crimper with most of the options (rebar cutter, knockout punch, cable cutter) and several dies which normally runs about $5,000. After buying a few dies the set was missing (Amazon) the whole thing ended up about $1300. As with ordering anything else on the Internet, you need to know what you are looking at. Also in addition with EBay, you need to consider a sniper bot like Gixen for bidding. There are substantial reasons for using sniping and I suggest reading the Gixen documentation on the subject in deciding whether or not to snipe, or simply ignore auctions. Most of the time on tools I’ve seen the prices go almost to full retail so no savings whatsoever unless it’s some item that is very low demand.
Stuart
Disagreeing is good. =)
Industrial suppliers also inflate prices sometimes to balance against corporate discounts. It’s not worth looking at say Grainger for cordless power tools due to their huge markups. They’re not going to have that great of a local selection either.
I’m also opposed to refurbished tools, partly because of my father’s stance on refurbished products, but I’ve also received refurbished products as warranty replacements, and the quality was compromised compared to new. If I recall correctly, refurbished tools have a much smaller warranty period than new.
Paul
That assumes you have a local Grainger selection. We don’t. The Grainger branch in Raleigh is pretty much just janitorial. As far as I know that’s the only one in the state after they closed the one in Greenville. I’ve never actually been in a Grainger store other than that one.
In terms of prices, shopping on the actual Grainger web site is something I use for estimates only…I won’t be paying more than that. Zoro gets it down to “normal”…still high but what you pay at a plumbing or electrical supply house. If you hit the 20% discount though they are less than Amazon or HD.
Corey Moore
Acme more often than not for power tools. I’ll cross-reference anything important work Amazon, cpo, toolnut, whatever I remember at the time. I’ve gotten some hand tools from acme as well (Fiskar, Wilton) but most of my hand tools are from KCtool these days. Amazon or Chad’s if it’s American made, and some Bahco most recently. I’ve got a HD commercial card through work, so a lot of consumables and the occasional emergency electrical part/pipe hardware hit that, as well as crew replacement tools that may be stocked there just for convenience (Red, yellow, teal core tools generally).
Flotsam
Home Depot has competitive prices on most of the DeWalt, Ryobi & Milwaukee i have. I have also purchased from Direct Tools Outlet (for mostly refurb Ridgid & Ryobi) and have been very happy with all my purchases.
and like most people Amazon is just too convenient & competitive in the end. But i have ordered from KCTool & Acme in the past. eBay has had some good finds as well and a lot of times used is just fine at a fraction of the price.
Nathan
I check Lowes and Home depot often but rarely buy from there.
never amazon rarely are they the actual lowest price even with shipping and they ruined my yard not once but twice.
Meanwhile I often research what I want and often need to put hands on the device – so that leads me to stores to check on. But then I narrow down my items and then often google search shopping that particular item. Example when I bought my Bosch barrel grip jigsaw.
More often than not CPOutlets has the lowest price to my door. But by using google shopping – they bring up Toolnut and others also. Like someone said before Carbide processors has good prices on some things – I found that out with google.
But over all most of my tool purchases have come from CPOutlets of late. Things I use rarely I don’t mind buying refurbished. Other things I plan on buying new in box and they often have that too.
Otherwise I do occasionally buy things form lowes and home depot or my local hardware store.
Robert Adkins
When I need a new cordless tool, I check around for prices, and low bid wins. That’s usually Amazon or eBay, but I have bought from Lowes. I always buy DeWalt, bare tool only. Not because I believe DeWalt is the best, but because I am already flush with batteries and chargers. I wish battery platforms would go universal so I could buy the best tools, regardless of batteries. I’m surprised out micromanaging government hasn’t already forced that because of diminishing rare earth metals, better if industry beats them to the punch.
Bill Clay
Amazon and Acme Tools have had the best pricing for me.
