I've bought a lot of stuff from there, mostly hand tools and drill bits. My buddy bought one of their cheap 18V drills and it crapped out in less than a year. But it was the batteries that actually crapped out, not the drill. I've had good luck with their hand tools, but all the drill bits I buy from there either snap in half or get really dull really fast. I also buy a lot of rubber gloves and paintbrushes from there. They are so cheap I can throw them away instead of worrying about cleaning them when i'm done painting.

Forgot that stuff. I got a thing of 10 rolls of electrical tape for like 3 bucks and some good nitrile black gloves for 11 bucks (box of 100) and use them for everything. Also got sanding discs for the orbital sander

Most of my stuff is still from sears or kobalt but certain things I need in a pinch that if it brakes who cares I go straight there

Being that I do a lot of electrical work, I tried the tape from there before. The adhesive lets loose after a while and the tape will come loose. I noticed it in my own car, and on my brother's truck. After I realized that, I went back to using the slightly more expensive 3M electric tape for wrapping any splices I make into the stock wiring.

I have a $35.00 4" grinder that I bought soley to do one job 15 years ago. (bought it to do the floors and rockers on my '85 CC) I still have it, and probably used it when lowering a half a dozen vehicles, among other things.Still use it around the house. (hopefully use it when I lower the dually)
It even came with a replacement set of brushes for the motor, which I have not used yet!
