    Never heard of them but they have a lot of stuff. Prices look pretty standard.

    Bought my Makita Lithium Ion set there last year. Very competitive price, fast shipping. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

    I ordered a jointer from them when they had a free freight promotion. It came on time with no issues.

    Bought a toe kick saw from them a few years ago. no complaints on the cost or shipping. The saw on the other hand is the most dangerous thing i have ever used!!!!! but it got the job done.

    as stated above decent prices and service. shipped quickly. I bought myself a dewalt router kit. I actually won gift card there from The Wood Whisperer so I used for this purpose.

    Good luck.

    Check out their ebay store. You can get some really good prices on stuff from time to time by going that route, and then get MS Cashback on top a good deal.

    I get toolking's emails and while I've never used them, I also wouldn't hesitate to if there was something I needed. They also have coupons floating around from time to time.

    However, I would encourage people to also check out Hardware Sales for similar refurb and mail-order tool type stuff. HS is right down the street from me and they are a good local family owned business that happens to have a big mail-order arm as well. They also currently have free shipping.

    I recently ordered a Jessem Mite-R-Excel miter gauge from them, by way of Amazon. At the time I bought mine, it was $189 on Amazon (again FROM Toolking), $229 on the Toolking website itself. The guage had a lot of problems, and I returned it. To my surprise, the credit came from Amazon, and INCLUDED a refund of the shipping costs. Since I had also been given a prepaid mail label, the transaction cost me nothing, other than time. If you're considering buying from Toolking, I'd suggest you check Amazon 1st.

    I had never heard of a toe kick saw so I went and looked it up. Yep, that would scare the bejesus out of me, also.
