That very much depends on what you buy. I've been satisfied with their bar
clamps, air fittings, electrical tape, and things of that nature. I wouldn't
spend any money on anything expensive there.

I have a few of the air tools, (drill, 3/8 ratchet and a die grinder) So far
its been almost 4 years and they still work great. The ratchet gets used
heavily because I actually use it at work, yes its a loud screamer, but it
works! I don't like the cut off wheels, they get eaten up too fast and the
welding wire, thats just plain dirty!
I have the air hoses and fittings and I buy my consumables such as sand
paper and dust masks. All in all a wise choice if you use your head, spend
9.95 for that air ratchet and expect 10 bucks worth of use out of it any
more and thats a PLUS!

As others have said, you need to be selective. I just bought a tile
saw on clearance for $15.00 because it was cheaper then renting and
there was no way I was going to pay $150.00 and up for the small job I
needed it for. I have also bought pneumatic tools, drill bits, tie-
downs, nail guns, etc because the jobs and the frequency I use them
for do not warrant the expense of contractor grade tools. Would I buy
a cordless drill, a table saw, a compound miter saw from them? No. I
use them too frequently and/or I need quality results. Would they be
OK for people that need them for a small job and/or won't use them
frequently? Sure.

I've got a couple of their 12 volt Drill master cordless drills.
Fairly slow, 500 RPM max. But they have served me well for a few
years. I use them for remove and replace screws. Not fast enough
to start sheet metal screws for HVAC, but plenty good for
installing locks.
They also drill, but slowly.
