Nice car tool and supplies catalog I got in the mail

I received a catalog for Eastwood Unique Automotive Tools and Supplies in the mail yesterday.

I guess I'm on some sort of mailing list

But, the catalog is awesome; loaded with detailing stuff, tools and car restoration things.

You can check them out here if you want:

Eastwood has been around for years. They do have some nice things in there. I've bought some restoration tools from them along a few other things year ago.

I've been getting their catalogs for a long time. In fact, the latest arrived today

I first learned about them from the show My Classic Car

Yeah, Eastwood is one of those catalogs where there just *has* to be something you can't live without

I seem to have fallen off their mailing list though...

Bill D · 02-25-05, 05:31

That and Griots

Jeez, they're kinda slow sending me the latest one

Always been happy with Eastwood's service.

Just about everything in their catalog is available from other sources but I've never seen anybody that comes close to having as much cool restoration stuff in one place. Their prices are usually reasonable too.

PC.

I've been getting their catalog ever since I ordered some hog rings and pliars from them to install my leather seat covers. It's a nice catalog.

Yeah, I get sorta

that Griot's took me off their mailing list, considering how much business I give them and how often I recommend their products.

It's because their conscience finally caught up with them and they felt bad for ripping you off all these years

Sorry Accum, I needed an excuse to try out these new smilies

Accumulator · 02-27-05, 09:13

Spilchy- Heh heh, I guess I *am* a pretty easy target when it comes to wisecracks about Griot's prices

Great opportunity to try out those smilies all right!

Heh heh, here I thought the joke was on *them* as I'd returned the stuff that didn't perform to spec. Now they actually make me *work* for the privilage of being overcharged by them

Though their Car Wash and BHBs (and the few other things I still get from them) aren't really all that expensive...

Gotta love the free catalogs. I've been getting eastwoods and harbor freight for a couple years now. Also just received amazon's tool crib catalog

If you work on tall vehicles, the Tool Crib catalog has a *great* work platform! It's back in the ladder section. I thought it would be a cheap copy of my Werner platform, but I actually like the new one better. A platform on each side of the minivan makes short work of the roof.
