Those people that bought that crap should have been able to tell just by looking at the stuff that it wasn't well made. |

They seem to have a mix of junk & good. The scaffolding I've bought from them is excellent &, according to one of the rental places here, the same quality as what they rent. On the other hand, there's some stuff there I don't think would survive being transported home or being powered up. g |
I saw the ad and went to the sale.
I also saw a lot of junk, but I did buy some stuff. I got a heavy duty set of jumper cables for my son, a hitch hauler for an employee and a 12 volt booster pack with a air pump. You really have to shop these places, not take everything for granted that it's going to be perfect. "Minnie Bannister" wrote in message ... They were in our area a month or two back. We didn't see a flyer, but I happened to see their sign at the entrance to the place where they had set up their tent. I walked around but was not impressed with what I saw and left without buying a thing. MB On 08/24/04 05:47 pm put fingers to keyboard and launched the following message into cyberspace: If Homier Distributing comes into your town. Avoid them like a deadly disease. They are mobile merchants. They will come into your town for a day, or weekend. They set up a large tent and are more than happy to take your money before they run out of your town. They sell mostly tools, but also sell other household items. Once you buy something from them, YOU OWN IT. Whether it works or not, It's yours. Despite what their advertising says, they do not and will not repair or replace defective merchandise. In fact, if you call them, you will get a busy signal or a machine. If you email them, they will not reply, in fact their email bounces back more than not. snip |
Saw no sign of that at the one I went to.

I made the mistake of purchasing some of their junk tools, about a year ago. All of the hand tools were made so cheaply that they broke after one or a few uses. I also bought a power tool, and when I got home, I found this tool was damaged (in the box) beyond being usable. After nearly one year of trying to get assistance from them, I finally contacted the Better Business Bureau. They actually DID contact me after that. However, that was all they did, because they did not remedy the problem, and refused further contact. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM !!! You will NOT be satisfied, and you will be throwing your money away. You can see all their junk on their website http://www.homier.com *** AVOID THIS COMPANY *** **** THEY ARE CROOKS ***** If they come to your town, you'll get a flashy flyer in the mail. Once you get it, be sure to warn all of your friends to STAY AWAY. i went to one of their sales.. and found out that there stuff was just junk from looking at it.... even comparing it to harbor freight you could tell that it was not as good as their junk tools.. but at least in my area harbor freight has a retail store and i have brought things back to them and no problem.... |
They sell cheap chineese made products. You get exactly what you pay for.

Why include their url? Wonder if they would run afoul of the Federal or California three-day cooling-off period for consumer sales not made at a merchant's permanent place of business? Of course, they will be out of town by then, and they would be immune to attempts to sue them because the game would not be worth the candle. -- Chris Green |

Is the tent on the dealer's premises? (The rule is normally applied to door-to-door and in-home sales, but it sometimes flexes to cover merchants doing business away from their regular location. Auto dealers have their own special rules.) -- Chris Green |

Once you get it, be sure to warn all of your friends to STAY AWAY. This is Turtle. All you say maybe true as can be but I do go to their sells for small cheap items that they sell cheap and very seldom have trouble with them. here is the items : Electric tap 4 rolls for a $1.00 , Hack saw blades 10 for a $1.00, 25 ft. measuring tapes $.99 , Cheap truck Dollie $14.99 , 4.5 inch grinder wheels $.99 each, 10 pound sledge hammer 3 ft. handle $3.95, and 4.5 inch hand angle electric grinder $5.95 . I don't use the gringers much but at $5.95 each who cares if you burn one up every 6 months or a year. I bought 5 of them 2 years ago and I still got 3 I have not opened to use and use them about 5 to 10 times a year. I don't expect much from junk and that is what they are but they fill a need that away. The other stuff is junk but if you want good stuff buy a name brand locally. TURTLE |

Amen to what TURTLE said- use your eyes and your common sense. If a tool looks and feels like junk, it probably is junk. For some applications, that doesn't matter. For stuff that can kill you, it does matter. For example, I would never buy jack stands at a traveling tool sale, but I might buy the cheap floor jack there. I would need the floor jack maybe 3 times a year, so as long as the seals didn't go, it would last forever. And if it fails, no big deal- the car drops back down. Now if the jack stands fail while I am under there, that is (to me, at least) a very big deal. aem sends... |
They have the best price around on mini-lathes and mill-drills.
Those are pretty much a known commodity, with plenty of online support from individuals and 3rd parties. I'll be spending about $900 next time one is in my area.
