Everything is online nowdays and i troll ebay as a matter of course but where in general do people shop for there tools. I know some special tools have to be obtained at obscere vendors but what is the best place for quality tools at bargain prices?

I would recommend Harbor Freight for the best prices. It is unbelievable how low you can buy some items there. I would say get your basic tools at a store like that and go for more known/high-end brands when buying performance tools.

I've never tried ebay for tools, mainly because I'm too impatient, but I'm sure you can find good deals there on some expensive tools.

My brother got some good tools off of ebay, stubby wrenches and ratchet ring wrenchs and for the buisness my father got chop saws and a magnetic drill all for great prices. But i will be sure to check out Harbour Freight, thanks

I was going to suggest Harbor Freight, as well. My husband's eyes glaze over when he goes in there. Heck, his eyes glaze over when he gets a sales paper. LOL If they don't have a store near you, they DO have a website: www.harborfreight.com.

Thanks for the information. In Ontario, where I live I'd check out Home Depot or Canadian Tire.

I think I'd be more likely to buy a tool on Ebay if I was familiar with the specific brand and model.

I've also seen some great deals at Costco.

I use ebay to purchase tools but always know which tools I want to buy having seen them in the store previous.
I am a great believer in you get what you pay for but on ebay you can generally get good brand equipment for much less than in stores. As with all second hand stuff you need to take care what you buy of course.
