Touring the coolest Tool Store I've Ever seen. 4k video

[@jeffshearer5125]

I have a 1970 grinder, has the wood handle. Had marano repair dealer put new brushes in it a few years ago an got a letter with it when I picked it up, said who ever owns this don't get rid of. Pretty cool I thought

[@SKC640]

Acme has the best customer service of any tool store. A few months ago I bought a brand new saw stop table saw and I like 100 miles away from the Duluth store. They delivered it for free and they accidentally left a manual behind they brought it the next day no questions asked and apologized. My favorite part about acme is me and my grandfather use alot of special wood tools some over 50 years old and their parts guys will not stop looking until they find the right part or one that'll work it's awesome what they'll do for their customers.

Stan, videos like this are golden for those of us who may not have such tool stores at our disposal. (Such as me in backwater rural Ohio. )So with you out there doing the legwork, we can make decisions based on your information, and buy the best tool. Yeah, that may end up being online, but it's a valuable bit of information before the purchase.

[@joeritter8331]

As a fellow MN metro dude I can't imagine how you've just recently made it to acme for the first time. Also metabo grinders A+ Wilton sledges awesome And acmes service is pretty good. I'll go out of my way to buy there because they carry full lines. And supporting them means that they're still there on the days that I need that one weird tool that'll save me time on a job.

Thx for the vid Stan, very interesting & wish had an Acme Tool Store in my town.....would be a kid in candy store. Do like Acme Tools, when I order new tool; they get it out to me in about 3 days, & I’m in Florida 👍🏻 (sometimes it does take 4, it that’s still quick). The other great thing, I’ve never had 1 issue from them of packages arriving damaged. They do a great job at shipping stuff out & making sure they are packed tight & great within shipping box (it’s frustrating when a store ships a “tool” in the retail packaging that they just slapped a shipping label on...REALLY! Do they not know how carriers transport this stuff, not exactly “gentle”😅), Also appreciate the customer support/service from Acme. If something is wrong when you get your order, they WANT you to be happy & will make it so that you are. Great company to work with, & wish started working w/ them sooner; b/c think would have saved myself some headaches over the years....

Just turn the filter knob every 20 mins (hour or more in my case) and it gathers all the super fine dust in the pan below.
