Princess Auto
Has anyone bought any Air Tools from Princess Auto? I have been buying some of their hand tools when they come on sale and find the quality is not to bad so I was thinking about trying one of their 1/2 inch impacts. They are definatly cheaper than Mastercraft and Craftsman but will they stand up?

Yes Power Fist products are good enough for the Non-Business mechanic.
If they were used daily at a automotive shop, they would be a bad choice.
I bought some Buffalo air tools in the states years ago and Power Fist matches their quality.

Fantastic! Think I will give them a try. I really am a fan of Mastercraft but I really don't need the "Lifetime Warranty" for what little work I do on the ATV's and the truck.

The Princess stuff takes a good beating plus they have a good return policy. I busted up my vice and they exchanged it no questions. As for sockets I have had mine for 4-5 years now and not broken one. I have an IR impact that wore out before they did. I use a UAP impact now. ... so my no name impact and power fist sockets are getting the job done.

The princess auto tools do come with a lifetime warranty from what I hear, but I have and do continue to break them. For anything that I know is gonna be tight I do not grab them as I already know I will break it, but for just light duty stuff, they're OK

I haven't really purchased from princess auto. I did only buy one thin which was my luggage box. The air-tight black powder-coated lockable storage box. I sure was scared seeing that big 18 wheeler deliver the box to my house. Not a problem at all. I bought a soft rubber mat for the inside to prevent it from scrathing. Welded it onto the truck and done.
If you're a deal shopper. Consider bosstools. They're online, free shipping and Ontario based company. I purchased a whinch from them a yr ago.

Princess Auto will replace anything regardless of how long ago you bought it.
Crappytire(Mastercrap) & Sears(Crapman) Have a set of hoops you have to jump thru before you'll get anything replaced. I had a set of Mastercrap tools I bought 2 christmases ago, and I broke one of the ratches, no way in h3ll would Crappy tire replace it. They said I used excessive force and it wasnt their responsiblity to replace a tool from excessivle damage...
I buy all my tools from Princess, WHEN I break them, I take them back. No questions.
