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 hammer drill driver

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 15-Amp 7-1/4 inch lightweight worm drive circular saw cutting a plywood sheet

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 coil nailer is job site ready

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.

Husqvarna gasolene powered Power Cutter

Heavy Duty Power Tools

We carry Husqvarna gasolene powered equipment geared for the professional landscaper or contractor. From easy to start chainsaws to gas powered power cutters for cutting pavers, concrete or metal.

South City Lumber & Supply is a Certified Husqvarna Dealer and provides both Sales and Service for the pro or weekend warrior.

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.
Portable sliding compound miter saw

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 saw

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.
