Nu-Way Tool Supply

A place to go if you need almost any tool. Especially on a Saturday afternoon late. Better than HD or Lowes, because Nu-​Way sells tools that everybody and his brother doesn’t have.

I walk in, ask for a particular measuring tool, the cranky guy behind the counter says we don’t have any. I look around, and IN the counter glass right below him is that exact item. OK, whatever, I need it so I get it and some accessories.
Get home, the accessories don’t fit at all. I jury rigged it all together to it would work for me, but I will not go there. And no, their prices are not lower than Amazon… I could have gotten the similar item from Amazon for cheaper as I just now checked Amazon to my chagrin, but not same hour of course.
On the plus side they do have some good tools, a bunch of Starret tools and Mitutoyo gauges… so they do have some quality for real tools there.
Just know what you want since they are loathe to fill in your gaps of knowledge.

The staff here is unfriendly and unprofessional. Last time I was in, the chinese guy charged me more than the marked price and I didn’t notice it until I was home.
I will never go back here. this kind of dishonest behavior should not be tolerated.

Eclectic selection of hard to find tools. Their prices aren’t the lowest, but their same-​day in-​person prices are lower than Amazon’s price with next day shipping.

I recently came to Nu Way Tools after being referred by friend who raved about the tremendous selection of professional tools the have in stock. They were very helpful and friendly. This is a genuine family owned business. These days this kind of family business is hard to find as corporations have taken over and no one takes the time to listen to the consumers. They have a great selection and can even help you repair your tools. If you are looking for those hard to find professional tools, make a trip to Nu Way Tools and you will search will be over!
