JMG Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 @KC_Tool Curious as to if there is a reason you do not carry roofing tool brands like Freund or Wuko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I do! Ill check them out. Any insight/expertise you have would be welcomed! None to speak of per se. I have been looking at edge rollers for turning edges on duct diverters, as most duct suppliers fail to understand the relevance of installing them, by not offering designs that include them. In the process, I also started looking at standing seam roof installations, and the US tool manufacturers just don't cater to the custom realm of installations and their tool offerings are klunky in comparison to some of the Freund hand seamers available, as an example. The Malco edge roller is an abomination compared to euro offerings. So, I had to ask, as there is a somewhat limited availability of those brands as well as others here in the states. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMG Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 RAU and ESE also make roofing tools. ESE seems to be a US company started by a German immigrant, and a quick search on RAU did not turn up any real info. Stubai is another one to look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be dangerous but it would be fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 That's what does me in on the KC tool of the day deals most of the time they don't qualify for free shipping, and because of free shipping and Amazon prime I can't deal with paying for shipping especially if its 1/2 or more the cost of the tool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 You brain goes well if I spend 25 dollars more its worth it because I get free shipping right! I will say Amazon has conditioned us well for free shipping though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when the deal is for a 2 pack of impact bits for $2 and you end up spending $25 by the time you add enough to make the $6 shipping not hurt.

BMack37 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm pretty sure the shipping was lowered sometime last year, I remember it being more like $10 to ship. The trick is to keep looking and find stuff you want from KC and putting it in your cart, then when a good deal of the day comes up you're splitting the cost of shipping between three items or you're hitting your free shipping threshold. Worst case, support them because it's a small American business and the cost is the same as Amazon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
