Guess Tool Crib had a non-compete agrement when they sold the online bizz to Amazon. That 10 years is up and they are back as Acme Tool.

Fond memories of Tool Crib of the North! They, and Seven Corners Ace Hardware were two big purveyors of tools when I got started in woodworking. TrendLines was a contender also, along with Woodworker's Supply of NM.

They couldn't come up with a better name than ACME Tool? :rolleyes:

It doesn't seem like its been ten years.

Yeah, I got their catalog the other day, and immediately knew it was Tool Crib. Same wolf with the drill and same layout. I was disappointed when after signing on with amazon they stopped sending catalogs, and weren't going to print anymore. Now, once again, I can keep one with me and look at it any time, or show a friend something when we're on the road or at a site. That's the beauty of printed material vs. online.
