Save time and perform tasks with accurate and predictable results.
Power Tools
We carry a complete selection of name brand power tools for the professional builder. Our tool buyer is a seasoned pro and knows a lot about power tools and construction, so our selection is extensive.
Cordless Power Tools
Every toolbox should have a cordless drill and an extra battery.
Battery powered tools offer great flexibility on the job without having to manage the cord. Our cordless power tool lineup includes everything from drill drivers to circular saws and sanders. Choose from lighter, more powerful tools with the latest in lithium ion batteries, brushless motors and advanced electronics for maximum power when you need it.
Corded Power Tools
There is nothing like a constant source of power when you’re ripping a 2x8 and you are halfway through your cut.
Corded power tools deliver performance and for some tasks are the only way to go. One of our all time favorites is the circular saw or its cousin the worm drive Skilsaw. These saws are real workhorses and can handle the toughest of cuts without bogging down.
Pneumatic Power Tools
With more torque and power over their electric counterparts, pneumatic tools are the professionals choice for heavy-duty use.
Pneumatic tools are lighter because they have no motor assembly and with fewer moving parts are very durable. We carry a large selection of pneumatic tools including stick and coil nailers, hammers (air chisels), portable compressors, air hoses, fittings and accessories.
Along with our great tool selection we carry accessories like tool bags and suspenders, a huge selection of construction fasteners, work clothing and protective gear to keep you safe.
Miter and Compound Miter Saws
Buying a miter saw is one of the best investments you can make for your workshop or jobsite.
Miter saws (aka chop saws) offer a high level of precision and allows you to make repeatable accurate crosscuts as well as angle and bevel cuts for a variety of applications including molding, trim and crown. We carry a variety of miter, compound miter and sliding miter saws.
Portable Table Saws
Portable table saws are an excellent addition to your tool arsenal.
Table saws are extremely useful and can provide a long, straight cut with precision and accuracy. Our selection of saws are compact and portable, with enough power to rip lumber along the grain, cut dadoes or cut panels and shelves for casework. Some you can roll out of the pickup and onto the jobsite.
Hand Tools
Whether you need tools for precision measurement, a great pair of pliers for tying rebar, or you’re buying your first set of tools for home improvement, we’ve got everything you are looking for.
We carry a wide selection of hand tools from some of the leading tool manufacturers in the U.S. and the world. Our tool buyer knows the building trades and knows quality tools, so our selection is very complete, top of the line and worth checking out.

Protective Gear & Safety Equipment
Wearing protective safety gear when you are using power tools or on the jobsite is a no brainer. We carry construction safety equipment from hard hats, work clothing, fall protection and work gloves, to safety glasses, hearing protection and dust masks to keep you safe.
Workwear
Workwear
We carry Workwear, including clothing, boots, safety and protective gear. What ever the weather, rain or shine we have clothing and outerwear for the worker.

Cutting Tools
Saw Blades, Router Bits, Drill Bits
Your cutting operation will determine what type of saw blade, router bit or drill bit to use to achieve the results you desire.

For cutting we carry circular saw blades in high-speed steel and carbide tipped, reciprocating blades, hole saws and router bits.
