We replenish our stock daily, but there are instances when an item can be backordered for extended periods. When this occurs, you can choose to wait for this item to come back into stock or request a refund. When an item is back in stock you will be contacted immediately.
Certain products are marked as "In Stock" but also say that they are "subject to manufacturer availability". Tools Plus directly deals with certain manufacturers that arrange shipment directly from the manufacturers factory to you. This helps us keep prices low and pass savings on to you by avoiding double shipping charges that you would otherwise incur. However sometimes a manufacturers inventory of that product may not be accurate and we are made known of this when checking stock for customer orders.

Product Questions
Tools Plus is an Authorized online retailer for the products we offer. All products unless otherwise stated are brand new. All reconditioned items are marked as such in the product's description.
Reconditioned tools are repaired by factory (manufacturer) authorized service centers.
Do you see the brand but not the product? Send an email to sales@toolsplus.com with a product that you'd like to purchase. We may be in process of stocking the product you're interested in and we will let you know.
Please note: At this time we do not accept special orders for online purchases. Special orders are orders for products or brands that we do not have listed on our website and do not currently stock.With that being said, we do love product suggestions from customers like you.
Have a product suggestion? Send an email with product or brand that you'd like to see on our website.
On the right side of each item page, right next to the picture of the item, it will have a block that says In Stock
, "Preorder", "Out of Stock" or "Unavailable". "In Stock" items are items that we currently have stock of and that stock readily available to ship. Please note any messages that indicate shipping delays on the item.
If you wish to be updated about when an item will be back "In Stock" there may be an area on that item page where you can enter your email address (for guest/not logged in users) or click a button (logged in users) to get yourself added to the list for that item.
We're sorry but Tools Plus does not currently have a printed catalog. Due to the fact that our pricing and product assortment consistently change, it makes it very hard to produce one. As it stands now our website is our product catalog. Here at Tools Plus we strive to make our search the best it can be. We are constantly enriching data to give you the most information possible for easier buying decisions.
We're sorry but Tools Plus does not break up manufacturer SKUs or power tool kits to sell the pieces individually. The only exception to this is we may on occasion break up bulk packs for items like impact bits, saw blades, batteries, etc. and sell the SKUs individually. We will usually note this though on the product detail page if the item being sold is a bulk item. Bulk items are usually without traditional manufacturer packaging found on individually wrapped and sold units.
