Empire Tool Traders

James and the rest of the staff at Empire Tool Traders are a cut above the rest! Why go to a big box store where you’ll walk around for hours searching for what you need? Less time shopping, more time building!
The only problem you’ll have here, is not having enough money for all the stuff you want.

Great place, Friendly staff, and every tool you can possibly need.

I purchased a Dewalt 20Volt Kit from here and i was very pleased with the price and service. I think they have every tool that Dewalt and Makita has to offer. In stock too. Great place to do business with.

As soon as you walk in the door, you will feel the warmth of a family owned business that is foreign to chain hardware stores. I love the fact that every time I come to Empire I’m always greeted by my name. Heck most of the time they already know what i came in for. I’m so happy to have them a couple of blocks away from the shop. When my customers need tools I always tell them «Go to Empire»!

I’ll have to be completely honest and openly admit that tools are something that could cause me to empty the bank account, sell the cars, and take out a second mortgage. There might not be any practical application that calls for a ratchet to have eighty teeth in the gearing, as opposed to sixty, but you can darn well bet I would spend an extra hundred bucks to get my hands on the former.
Having established a clear bias for any establishment «tool» oriented, allow me to clearly state; Empire has a depth of selection that no box-​store can match. If its just any old screwdriver that you might need, then Home Depot or Lowe’s is what you’re looking for. If, however, you want to spend a bit more and find a driver that doesn’t round off after the first demanding use, then go to Empire.
Prices??? A bit steep in some cases (found better drill bits at less cost and equal quality elsewhere), but the selection is very satisfying. Being able to choose between Bosch and Milwaukee power tools may not curl your toes, but if it does, Empire might not be a bad place to visit.
