I haven't reviewed these guys yet? Ugh…read more So, here's my story for why I love Northern Tool (and not that other store, yeck). I was shopping for a little trailer to use around the house for small projects, landscaping, stuff like that. I called around to the "other store," looking for the trailer they had on sale, but I was treated very rudely. Not rude like, "what do you want?" Nooooo, this lady went so far as to put me on hold for 10 minutes while she 'went to check the availability of the trailer.' That's not such a bad thing until someone else accidentally picked up the phone to ask who I was holding for and this voice in the background says, "put him back on hold, he can wait." Actually, no, I couldn't and I hung up on your store...haven't been back since, either. Anyway, that's just to illustrate why I went to Northern Tool, instead, but here's why I will continue to visit. I did buy my folding trailer from Northern Tool, loaded it up, then proceeded to ignore the boxes it came in for about 6 months. When I finally got around to assembling it, I found that I was missing an entire box of parts. OH NO! Dejected and sad and a little ashamed, I loaded up the parts and made the trudge back to the store. I explained my situation, bought it a long time ago, turns out I am missing parts, the original packaging was damaged, yada yada yada. The guy looks at me, walks in the back, then comes out with a box on a cart. THEY REALIZED I HAD FORGOTTEN A BOX AND PUT IT ON A SHELF FOR ME!!! Y'all, you can't beat customer service like that anywhere. NT is my new go to. Plus, it's a really clean store, their products are terrific, and the people are some of the best you're gonna meet.

We started talking options and Measurements. Online options. What's the purpose for them. Etc etc. He narrowed down for me what the best options were.

More than just a quick sell. Was an enjoyable time while spending my money.

They have: mini starter greenhouses, timers, sticks, clips, lights, meters & cloth pots of various sizes. There are a variety of different insecticides and I know if I get a bug that I'm capturing it to be brought here. Hydroponics are the specialty, so much is dedicated to the preppers that grow food indoors or without soil at all. When I was leaving I noticed a fridge and there was a lady there examining, weighing, sorting and packing farm fresh eggs. When she put some stuff in the fridge, there was another surprise- beef. There is a variety of grass-fed sausages and steaks. Talk about awesome. It looks like they ate winding down in the brewer supplies and they are currently 40% off now. If you grow and need specialized help, this is the spot!

BEWARE OF THE PIT BULL !!! I chose this business because Vanguard engine company said they're a diamond dealer . Spoke to someone in the morning and explained I had a piece of equipment with a new vanguard 23 hp efi engine that needed to be diagnosed with a scan tool. He said bring it over. I loaded the machine and drove 40 mi to their location . I backed my pickup into their driveway and immediately a short stocky red haired ( pit bull ) came marching out yelling and waving her arms saying " we don't work on this kind of stuff " I said it's not the machinery needing repair it's the Vanguard engine that you guys work on. She said " I don't care, we don't work on this kind of stuff. I immediately told her to calm down and that I had spoken to someone this morning and they told me to bring it in. She said again, waving and yelling " I don't care we're not working on this and I don't have room on my shop floor for this. Come back next winter ! She was so insulting and rude, embarrassing me in front of her co workers and customers, it was all I could do to get in my truck and get away . I felt like I walked into someone's yard and they opened their door and released their attack dog on me. I'm a 59 year old successful business owner of 20 years and I've NEVER been treated so badly from another company's employee. I can't comment on their service of equipment because I couldn't get past their guard dog !! Worst customer service ever and Vanguard engine needs to seriously consider pulling their diamond status. read more
