Tool sites—the good, the bad, and the ugly

[MiscellaneousDave]

I have had good luck ordering from Acme Tools, and CPO.   I know some have had issues with CPO, but I didn't have any issues ordering from them.

I also have seen a lot of negative reviews of Northern tools.  They have been cancelling a lot of orders recently.

International tool has been ok as well.   I have ordered from them a few times and most of the orders were fine.  They just tend to not do a very good job of communicating when there is a need to cancel an order.

Direct Tool Outlet has been fine as well.   I have only ordered from them once and there were no issues with the order.   They tend to have great deals on Ridgid,  and Ryobi tools.

I ordered once from Acme, and it was bad on arrival.  They basically said to go through the manufacturer for warranty.  That kind of sucked since it wasn't as easy as one would like (BOSCH).
