Hello gang, I must admit that i have an addiction, an addiction to tools. This weekend at my local National Guard Armory, about four tractor trailers of tools and such arrived in Woodbridge NJ to sell their wares."Homier - America's premier mobile merchant" pulled in with tons of tools , hardware and household goods. Their price are phenomenal, but buyer beware, the quality of the merchandise is highly substandard. If you are using these tools as "Joe home owner, the prices cannot be beat. IF you are using these tools to earn a living, you will break them within a week. One deal that they offered was, if you purchased an 18 volt charger with a battery, they would throw in am 18 volt search lite, sander, drill and jigsaw. the battery with charger cost $19.99... AS far as the name brand products went, the sold reconditioned/refurbished DEWALT tools at a extremely reasonable price ie... 1/2 dewalt drill $99.99...
I spent about $250 on some different items such as a 330 piece drill bit set $30 - i know that I will only use them for my layout etc, they will break otherwise. I picked up 3 hooded fleece sweatshirts for $10.. I took them home, washed them, they survived, wore them all day, rewashed and went back for 3 more... For working around the house they are great. I got a mini pancake compressor for $25, a lil noisy, but works well. Dremel accessories 206 PC carving accessories $3.99, dewalt safety glasses $3, etc...
What i like about this place is they have a lot of oddball tools you wont find in sears ie... 11 pistol grip needle nose pliers, a ratchet socket drive that has a a 1/4 inch drive on one side and on the opposite side is a 3/8 inch drive.. $4 .. They have very inexpensive laser levels, sure the accuracy isn't perfect, but for the hobbyist it works fine..
If anyone is interested in this mobile merchant, here is their website, and yes they are on the web and they will email you weekly where they will be located. They also do mail order..
Hope I could save you guys a few $$$ - like I said not professional stuff, but reasonable homeowner quality..
