questn More Source Questions

I have kind of asked this before but am asking again. Where is a good place to buy tools off the internet?

I am especially looking for speciality tools and any type of either stonework or brickwork tool.

Any suggestions on where to buy these?? Thanks!

I find that most times the equipment I need to buy gets pretty expensive ordering it on the web, because it's shipped from Timbuktu and the freight kills us. So we tend to stick to local suppliers, unless we can get a deal on something on ebay.

You should have a ton of stuff available to you in NJ. Why are you looking to the web to buy tools?

Well...Certain tools are either very hard to find or are really expensive. I'm not the type of person to go out to Home Depot and get all their so called "Contractor Grade" tools. They aren't the best and never seem to live up to some of the stuff I've bought elsewhere. That's one reason the other is that there really aren't too many tool dealers or suppliers with what I need. I'm talkin' ball carts, spades, marking, paver or brick tools, chisels and the like. They are really hard to come by here.
