The speed of delivery was remarkable—the fastest turnaround we've ever seen. Combined with secure packaging that protected our items perfectly, it made for a very satisfying experience.

Fast delivery and product was as described. Intrinsically safe tools can be extremely expensive but their prices were very affordable for our small business. Will do business with them again.

As of today, the refund has not showed being put back on my account. This request for a refund was on 1/30/2025 at 10:22A.M. PST. It is now 2/9/2025.

Poor quality, horrible customer service.

I ordered a refrigerator in August. When I opened the box it was dented even though the box was Un damaged. When I plugged it in, it did not cool. After jumping through many hoops, I got a return label to sent it back. 5 months after my purchase I still have not received a refund. When I call customer service my calls are frequently dropped. I am repeatedly told they are referring my case to finance but have never received a response from them. I have asked to speak with a supervisor but they just continue to say they will refer it to finance. Long wait times when calling customer service an no follow-up.

I ordered over a week ago

I ordered over a week ago, for Will-Call pick up, everything listed as in stock. But still have not received any confirmation that it’s ready for pick up. I am kind of confused.
I called in, and customer service said I needed to wait for the email before it’s ready to pick up… said they’d tell the warehouse, but still nothing? Hmmmm…

TOOLOTS IS A SCAM

TOOLOTS IS A SCAM. They will not refund my $2000 from last Black Friday 2023. I placed an order for a benchtop mill and canceled a few days later to get one with a different option. Long before it was shipped I might add. I have called and emailed countless times only to get nowhere. They strung me along long enough for the credit card company to not refund my transaction. As a reminder, that's $2000, FREAKING $2000. I'M NOT RICH........ This was a huge decision for me.

For transparency, I did get the second one I ordered but was missing pieces and package totally destroyed on delivery. They did not respond to request for missing items.

Don't fall for the low prices, they are dishonest and it will cost you more in the long run. TOOLOTS IS A SCAM.

I gave them a year to refund me but now I am going to make sure everybody knows about them. Please help me share this review. I hope this helps other working class people when making a big purchase decision.
