I was tool shopping earlier this week and came across this tool vendor: Acme Tools.
www.acmetools.com
I placed an order on Tuesday. It arrived today via Fedex. 4 day shipping. At Christmas time, no less.
Prices are competitive. Wile was right! I will be checking them for my tool needs in the future.

Seem to have a pretty decent line, and competitive prices. Don't see any rockets, though.

You will tell us if the big box that arrives at your house has a large "ACME" lettered on it?

No rockets, roller skates, or pianos... but they do sell anvils.

No catapults, no dynamite.

How much did it cost for delivery of an Anvil

Free shipping.... After you spend $199. Easily met if you are a tool-a-holic. Or if your anvil price meets that level!

Heck, Y'all can have all that silly stuff, I just want the gigantic magnet and an instant hole.

And... The box actually did say "Acme" on it in big letters!

Now I know what to tell my wife to get me for Christmas - an anvil from ACME.

While their two anvils definitely meet the level for free shipping (the 77 pound one is $650, and the 165 pound one is $1600 ), there's an additional $50 handling charge for heavy items like those.

I just hope the delivery guy doesn't try to drive through the freshly painted tunnel.

I don't know if they still run the deals they used to, but it used to be pretty common to get 20% off fairly often.

I do want a gallon or two of that tunnel paint!

Acme Tools is the professional version of Harbor Freight. You can find just about everything tool wise there but from quality brands. They even carry Festool if you want to step up to the plate.

ACME Tools has a large store in Des Moines. Mostly cater to contractors. They carry a lot of woodworking tools and machinery also. All name brand products. If you have a store nearby you can have things shipped to the store and not pay freight.

Rocket packs and roller skates are on back order. I did get a bag of roadrunner fuud though.
