No More Deal or Sale Posts…

Posted on April 1st, 2009
Yes, that’s right… As of today, we are discontinuing our “DealGuyd” category of deal/sale/discount alert posts. We have found that it is one of the least popular features of this site, and so there is no use in continuing with it.

ToolGuyd Store Information

Posted on January 10th, 2009
ToolGuyd is pleased to announce that we have launched an Amazon astore. Amazon is by far our favorite retailer, given their wide selection, good (frequently great) prices, free super saver shipping, and lenient return policy.
