Mike Stout Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Have to go to Cedar Rapids, IA this weekend for an "in-law" event. Saw they have an ACME Tool Store, anyone ever been there? How are their in-store prices? Anywhere else I should go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trace Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 If it is the same "ACME" as in the Roadrunner cartoons, I believe I would steer clear of them. I get the Acme Tools catalouge now and then. I have not bought anything from them, however, a lot of the woodworking accessories look OK to me. A lot of the stuff, as in other catalouges, is made in China. I have seen the chisels, they are made of very soft steel and will not hold an edge for long.

Will stop by and check out but probably will not by any off-brand tools. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
