Default Where do you buy your tools?

I was wondering where you buy your tools online? and what it is you
look for in an online tool distributor?


I've been buying a lot of stuff from McMaster-Carr lately, mostly
hardware and drill bits though not actual tools.

Amazon seems to have a decent selection of tools, and occasionally
excellent prices - got a 3/8" DeWalt drill from them for about $30,
and I use the crap out of it - when you don't need the Big Gun it's
awful handy (hanging curtain rods, boring holes for Romex, etc.)

I just bought my Sawzall at Lowe's because I needed it quick, although
I'm sure I paid more than I had to for it.

Most of my tools to tell the truth were either inherited, scavenged
from a junk pile, or bought cheap and used at yard sales. There's no
way I could have afforded to pay anything close to retail for all the
stuff I have.
