Best online source for tools (miter saw this time)

Can anyone recommend a good online source for woodworking tools? I am
in the market for a miter saw and a small compressor for Christmas
gifts at the moment.

I'm not interested in the absolute lowest possible price. A reasonable
price and good service and support would be a good combination.

Thanks

Personally I prefer www.toolseeker.com. They track several different
dealers and will list each by who offer the item and who has the lowest
price.

shipping specials. I've purchased several power tools from them and they
always arrive well-packaged and ship quickly.

Depending on what you need...

www.toolking.com
www.internationaltool.com
www.woodworker.com

I've had good purchasing experiences with all three, and each has had the
best price I found on at least one tool. No affiliation other than as a
satisfied customer.

Exactly. Many gripe about the Borg, but then can't wait to save a few
bucks on a tool bought from an online Bigger Borg.

If your local hardware store offers reasonable service and reasonable
prices spend the extra few bucks to be able to fondle the tools and
now there's a place to return to for help.

P.S. Unfortunately, the best supplied hardware store in this area has
begun to hire a bunch of kids. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing
against kids in general, but I REALLY hate ignorant help in stores.

I am so, so tired with the answer: "I don't know, but if we did, it'd
probably be here" pointing at the place I've been hunting for the last
20 minutes.

Thanks. Their prices are almost exactly the same as the local hardware
stores on the Dewalt miter saws. I might get a little savings avoiding
sales tax and then paying shipping.
