Selector wheel

[Michael mitchell]

I am a Big fan of Kreg but I am not a fan of the only store in my area that carries their products. I just returned home from that store, I went to buy the selector wheel but as usual the don't have any. This wouldn't be a big deal if this was the first time. Every time I go to buy a Kreg product they are out or don't have the new stuff in yet. When I go to get a product I want to get that product. If it was just one time it would be ok but it's a on going thing! Sick of it!

Perhaps one just needs to ask the ''right" people.

I've ordered products from Home Depot, Menards, as well as Lowes, and got it.

Rocklers frequently offers FREE shipping.

Rocklers is very helpful.

Rocklers is well stocked with Kreg products---the best place I've found, to date.

Menards also stocks many of the Kreg products. 

If you can't find something in there stock, it only takes a simple phone call.

What makes you think going to Lowes and Home Depot helps the local community?

My close family member had a very large hardware store; now a small one. It was not Amazon who hurt the store, it was the "local box stores" that you are referring to.

If you want to help your local stores go to the independent hardware stores....ordering from the box stores is no different than ordering from Amazon!

And by the way, it was Kreg that told me about free shipping from Amazon.

Finally I shop at Rockler too, but how does it help my local franchise guy by ordering on the web?

Marty,

Lowes, Home Depot and Menards in my area employ locals---including tradesmen, 

which contributes to the community.

Sales taxes collected, goes to the community.

My local ACE and True Value stores, are locally owned--- they do not stock Kreg products, 

nor do they stock lumber and building materials and supplies;

therefore, we need to go to other supply sources.

They do stock many items that the big box stores don't have---which is a big plus for them.

The present economy has a big impact on the small businesses.

Ken,

What you said is true.

My point is ordering on line through a big box store is the same as through Amazon.com.

Further my local Home Depot has maybe two Kreg items; our Lowes little more. 

Again, I do shop at Lowes and Rockler but when no stock is available, then Amazon is not the enemy. Kreg's Home Office actually recommends Amazon. And unless of a sale, Rockler on line does charge for delivery.

And trust me, the True Values are in big trouble....I know directly from  a few large store owners.

I received my selector wheel yesterday and I looked it over. I say that it is a piece that everyone needs to add to there collection. Very much worth the price.
