Thank you! *fixed*

I didn’t catch that they changed their URL and store structuring.

If you remover the “store” part from the link, it goes to the actual https://www.harryepstein.com/ website. Weird.

Thank you.
Has anyone else ordered from drpd.cc? If so, has your experience been good?
Are there other sources for PB Swiss tools that folks can recommend?

It depends. My semi-local Ace (it’s significantly farther than the closest HD) has a better selection of Milwaukee tools than HD. They claim to be the biggest Ace Hardware store in the West. They do have some unique products (last time I was there, I bought single hex wrenches and blueberry bushes, neither of which was available at HD).

I’ll have to see if I can upload a couple pictures, but for now there’s a video here https://dale-hardware.com/tour-2/ that’s too old to include the new Milwaukee section

There are 3 Home Depot closer to me than the local Ace. I’ve been to the Ace once or twice, but never for tools, as they have a very small selection.

Re; HJE

I have never had any problem ordering from them. They appear to me to be something akin to an old hardware store that now sells online. Lots of what they sell seems to be remainders, odd lots or NOS. That said – you may not get your item shiny or in the latest shrink-wrapped or clamshell packaging. They also don’t always represent the lowest-cost buying option – but that goes for almost all retailers. I have bought from them rather sporadically – so, I don’t have tons of data – but I’ve been satisfied.

Why do you say that? If you’re not comfortable saying so in a comment, you can always email me.

At one time Garrett-Wade was once headquartered just north of Canal Street in Manhattan. Later, Tools for Working Wood was located a few flights up in the Flatiron district. We’d (my wife and I) come into Manhattan to shop, eat and catch a show. She’d roam the Fifth Avenue shops – while I’d look at what was new at GW or TFWW. I’d rarely buy anything – but it beat the alternative. We’d meet for a pre-show dinner then compare notes. GW introduced me to Lie Nielsen planes (they were one of the first distributors) , while TFWW had more items from folks like Ray Isles.

Masterfarce is better than Harbor Freight in my view, even though I rarely get them.

But Menards is unbeatable on lumber and building materials around here (though if they have the 11% rebate hot you can get that matched by Home Depot: https://www.homedepotrebates11percent.com/#/home

Elmhurst, Illinois, with distribution centers in Robbinsville, New Jersey; Santa Fe Springs, California; Douglasville, Georgia and Aurora, Ohio – strategically placed close to shipping centers and across the country. Order today, get it on the truck tonight, at your local center in the AM, out for delivery.

I’m still trying to figure out McMaster-Carr’s shipping secret. I’ve never had items shipped so fast via ground.

I’m adding another vote for Crawford – I’ve spent too much in the past year on their Wiha closeout deals.

Heinz, Coca Cola, Ford?

and I’ve bought a fair number of Bridge City Tool Works tools:

https://bridgecitytools.com/

esp. since they’ve become more affordable since the acquisition.

In addition to Lee Valley and various vintage tools, I also have begun buying Lie-Nielsen tools:

https://www.lie-nielsen.com/

usually via Highland Woodworking as noted by others.

Lastly, as some other folks have noted, Tools for Working Wood:

https://toolsforworkingwood.com/

has some unique tools, and is a great company to buy from.
