Should I buy power tools from Big Lots?

Posted by admin
argh.pirate asked:


I want to buy a plunge router from Big Lots but it’s $30 and I wanted to know if anyone’s had experience with their tools. It’s made by Pro Source and I’m going to get a set for $89 that has a circular saw (5 3/8″), a jigsaw, a reciprocating saw, a light and a power drill. They are all cordless and it comes with two batteries. Is this a good deal too? Are these going to fall apart or are they good deals?

      i would only buy from lowes because they have a great return policy. you are only going to get grief from big lots.

      tools are best bought according to brand names such as Craftsman, Black & Decker, etc… if you want quality. The name of store is inmaterial as long as it is a quality band tool name.

      Sometimes (rare) I find them at a pawn shop to save $; but you better know what you are looking at before buying there - - may not be able to get accessories because outdated, discontinued, etc…

      The third answer did have good point as general rule you pay for but if you will only use it is difficult.
