 Has any body done business with these folks and how were you treated?

They tend ro have good stuff,but are expensive. I just priced some 1-2-3 blocks there at$30 a pair and got them for $20 with free shipping on Amazon.

Yes, definitely on the expensive side.

there are many things Micro Mart has that are hard to source elsewhere...Their china tools are way too expensive...example 9 inch band saw at $299 and over 25/34 bucks per blade.....too easy to beat this by an order of magnitude of 4 with any 9 or 10 inch band saw from grizzly, lowes, home depot, Harbor freight...same with the dinky 3"/4"  table saws...$499 is about 19 times what they cost elsewhere...all that said, I am a customer and they are good company

About 15/20 years ago I bought a set of soft jaws with rubber facings for my vice and am still using them! These things have saved many projects of mine from dings and mars! What ever I paid for them back then has been well worth the money! I haven't received any catalogs form them in recent years but have bought other things from them since and they've all been top quality and worth it!

  And is the name of the company Micro Mark? I used to get catalogs from them unsolicited, but haven't in a while. Their decal making products are what a lot of people prefer, just from reading about it here on the forums. I might still have an old catalog laying around somewhere.
   Type at you later,

I recently bought a didgital level from them that was dead on arrival. They replaced it right away and sent everything along with the replacement to send the bad one back. It was on sale for dirt cheap and the new one works pretty well...gene

I liked the Kum 'n  Go convenience stores in Missouri. Mostly for the photo ops, but I did buy gasoline at the one just E. of Stockton.  LL~ Steve
