Great selection
Great selection, fair prices on sale items. In-store service good but check-out at store has been slower than other stores.

Awesome :) Thank you for your support of our local store and ongoing orders. Our Mission is to provide the Best Value in Tools, your 5 star review excellent comments confirm we do nail it!
Service is getting better.
The products are good, but the service has been poor. However, like a lot of companies that didn't anticipate the volume of online sales in these uncertain times, is taking steps to rectify that problem. It's not their fault of poor shipping delays, only Canada Post can own that problem. They have a way to go for their online presence, but they are getting there.

Hello B Lutz and thank you for your feedback . I have forwarded your review to the Web Fulfillment Manager and he will contact you directly concerning your orders. The shipping order was shipped out of our warehouse in two days so he is going to investigate why the delay with the courier. We apologize for not responding to the email communications. Glad you like our products!
