Best place for tools on the internet.

[Andrewtarling]

Hi all, I'm going by myself and was wondering if any of you know any good places on line for buying tools? I know what tools I want but I'm looking for any online shops that offer the best prices. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

To be fair , it varies. A lot of companies have specials and clearances.
Just google or ask on here for a specific tool and chances are someone will have done the work for you.

I just got a cracking deal on Ebay a few weeks ago on a new Dewalt multi tool for instance.

I think in this age, the best price is "Slutting About" you cant stay with one Seller any more as so many of the prices are better day to day, temping you in rates to sale you other things. So as they tell you SHOP AROUND.

I think the best question is to ask what is the Best Tool for Each Job you want to do, and then Shop around for the cheapest version of that. I guess another way is to know what are good tools and what are grate sale price for said tool and buy it from then.

I always shop around on the internet, price checking to get the best possible deals. The amount of times I end up back at FFX is probably 9 times out every 10.

FFX and Buyaparcel for me generally. There are a lot of good online suppliers though. If you know what you want it's best to just get googling really.

I've brought all my makita gear from buyaparcel, always cracking deals

Ffx for me most of the time. I have also bought from powertool world and blue power tools as most of my gear is bosch.

They may be cheap, but I waited for over 2 weeks for some of their "in stock in the UK" items to arrive from their overseas suppliers, so they're off my list.

Thanks for the replies. First thing I'm after is some makita 18v time to upgrade from the DeWalt.

Try using Google Shopping as opposed to just using Google. Saves you searching through pages of Google to find the best price

Personally, I hit up Amazon on a regular basis. You get some half decent deals from a lot of sellers. My wife moans every time she sees me looking at tools but hey, other halves just don't get it, do they?
For example, I grabbed an 18v DeWalt impact driver (bare unit) for about £75 when ScrewFix are knocking them out for about£150!

Google shopping turns out some good results as well, as the other folks said. Let the all-seeing Google do the price checks for you from time to time!

Shop about a bit, mate!

Ebay tends to be the cheapest place to buy tools from 99% of the time for me.

UkToolMart is another one that often returns good prices when doing a google search but I have never used it.

 

[londonfire]

I tend to often end up back at FFX as there prices are normally the best around
