Good online catalog, easy to use and order from.

I have bought a lot of tools from Northern Tool. and as I always do on a large tool purchase I was comparing prices on the Hobart Stickmate AC/DC welder. To my surprise my old friend Northern Tool was $100. higher than Tractor Supply on the same welder. Ahumm, makes me wonder about some of the other purchases I have made there...

the only problem was a broken firebrick, when I emailed Northern Tools all I got was 'here's the manufacturers phone number'.

Everything really was perfect. All Internet Retailers should work this way. Thank you.

the shopping was easy but it took to long for an order for the generator to come in 24 to 28 days was not acceptable so i had to cancel my order.14 days was ok but not 28 days

Great service, price and selection. I will return to Northern in the future. Thanks!

After Hurricane Frances I lost power for 8 days. I tried to find a Generator locally and even went as far as Ga. and North Carolina but there were none to be found. With Hurricane Ivan/Jeanne approaching Florida fast I called Northerntool and to my amazement they had a generator in stock. I ordered it on a friday and had it the following Wednesday. Just in time for hurricane Jeanne to hit. Lost power again for 2 days....but this time I had my Northerntool 8000 watt monster. Ran like a dream. Powered everything I threw at it.(except AC)I love it. It is built very well and the price was not bad for the power it puts out. Northerntool your awesome thanks for powering me up during the Hurricane. Hopefully I won't have to use it anymore this year.

Northern is great at having some of the more random items and generally has good prices (including shipping). I have ordered from them a few times. I won't say it's the best service, but so far has been acceptible. At least they try and respect your business. Despite this, if you live near one of their outlet stores, I would recommend going there to grab what you need if you can. The people inside are quite helpful and courtious (at least at Norfolk VA)

As for having things not in stock, it does happen somewhat more frequently than it should. I have had things that were listed as in stock not be in stock. Granted, they shipped out within a week. I typically use them if it's something I can't find elsewhere, is cheaper than elsewhere, or better quality than elsewhere.

I have not ordered anything large / truck freight from them.

I ordered some smaller items from Northern Tool, including a chain saw blade and some masonry wheels, back in November. No problems with that order, but it did take a while to ship. Recently, they advertised their Northstar line of snowblowers on ...
