FYI:

I was in Princess Auto this morning and found that they have their awesome yellow-handled terminal crimpers on sale from $18.99 to $11.99. Aside from my soldering station and DMM, this has been the most important tool in my toolbox for pinball repairs and beats the snot out of those cheap-o crappy "crimpers" that are much more common. See here: http://princessauto.com/_osn.c.....PPER%20and%20CRIMPER

Also, they have inclinometers with a magnetic base on sale for $9.99 from $14.99. I purchased a similar model at Allentown for $8 and it's been very handy. See here: http://princessauto.com/_osn.c.....OLYCAST%20PROTRACTOR

If you've never been to Princess Auto, do yourself a favor and GO. Leave the family at home, because you'll need about two hours to look around.

Quality is usually an issue and unless your using the majority of their tools for home use,and RARELY you may want to look else where.I believe most of there stuff is imported from China(hard to find anything not these days).
However they often have some interesting items that are slightly used(Pulls) or close out stuff that are great deals if its what your looking for .

Yes, I will agree that some of their tools leave a lot to be desired, but they are so cheap that they are pretty much throw-away. I bought a full "Dremel" style tool kit from them a while ago. I've used it to shop a couple of pins now (polishing habitrails and pop bumper rings and the like). Well I tried to use it to cut some holes in some drywall yesterday and it just isn't good enough for it. But I paid less than $25 for the kit, so I'm not complaining. A lot of the guys I work with in the heavy diesel industry love their tools for the same reason, they are cheap and they do the job for the most part.

Just got back from the track. One of the "clone" Honda motors that guys run just for practice from Princess Auto really showed the difference between that and the real thing. It blew the crank right through the side of the block on it's first day running. KABOOM!

He was laughing because it was only $130 bucks. A good race motor can run you a couple grand.
