Buying tools etc online

    I'm looking to buy some precision screwdrivers and a small air compressor online as none of the local hardware stores have suitable items in stock.

    I was going to put an order through on amazon but got the old "problem with delivery address" message.

    Can anyone recommend some websites that are Irish based or offer delivery to Ireland.

    for the tools you could try dealextreme, very cheap, free postage. The only down side is that it can take a few weeks to arrive.

    Cheers but I used them before, low quality is reflected in the cheap price and I can't afford to wait a month like the last time unfortunately.

    www.coastaltool.com, they are based in the states but delivery within 2-3 days normally and very cheap compared to buying stuff here (even after the revenue & customs get their cut :mad:)

    + 1 on Handyhardware.ie, used them a couple of times, they are usually competitive on price too, at least what I bought

    Not too sure about Handyhardware.ie, I ordered stuff mid december and I have not heard from them since. I have rang numerous times and left messages (phones lines not manned), sent emails and have recieved no reply. I am beginning to wonder if they have gone out of business, anybody heard anything?
