I have and they are fine tools. From what I have observed, they may have bought or picked up the rights to older discontinued tools from other manufacturers. For example, their sidewinder bender is the same as the older Greenlee versions.

I like their K.O. sets. They work as well as Greenlee, but without the sticker shock.

And they accept Greenlee shoes as well. Download the manual and what you will see is good old fasion contactors in the bend control vs pc board in the Greenlee (not saying I don't love my Greenlee, but recent experience with replacing that board today as a matter of fact was "ouch". )

I bought a tugger from them, set it up in the back yard to see how it worked, sent it back the next day and wound up paying twice as much for a greenlee.
I agree with both of these statements. They're good tools and not nearly as pricey as Greenlee. I have the hot box and the tugger. The tugger works pretty good up to a point. Like Clint Eastwood said "A man's got to know his tuggers limitations"

What kinda price difference are we talking about here? 1/8 or 1/4 or 1/3 off, what ??? My area suppliers that they use are the highest priced suppliers in the region, how much less will I pay going through these yahoo's verse going direct to manufacturer? Does it make sense try to go direct to save ???
