Michael Elson
President
Light Tool Supply
For
as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by tools. As a young
boy I worked summers packing orders and unloading trucks at my father's
tool and supply company. After graduating from college, I immediately
went to work full-time for my father and have been in this industry ever
since. Over the years I have learned this business inside and out and
have spent many hours using that knowledge to improve the mail order
supply business. I have seen that business change drastically over the
years. The most dramatic change is from a business based on the paper
catalog to one based on products sold via the internet. Subsequently,
after many years of experience, I decided to create my own company to do
what I know best. Light Tool Supply is now quickly bringing tools to
loyal customers at the best prices possible. I encourage you to use our
vast experience as a resource for all your tooling needs. If you see
something on our website that you do not feel is the best price, please
feel free to email me directly at michael@lighttoolsupply.com. I also
would like you to email me or my staff with any manufacturer's Part#
from our long list of vendors at the bottom of this page for a low price
quote. Additionally, do not hesitate to contact Light Tool Supply with
any of our competitors' part numbers. It would be my pleasure to cross
reference those part numbers with ours and beat their prices! I realize
there are many companies to choose from; I hope you will choose Light
Tool Supply.
Thank you,
Michael Elson

What is the warranty on your tools?
Most of the warranties are by the mfg and are for one year. Some are
more or less than one year depending on the mfg. Please inquire on
length of warranty before you purchase if concerned.
Do you Ship Outside the United States?
Yes. Light Tool Supply is happy to ship outside the U.S. You can contact
us prior to ordering or simply place the order online and we will get
back to you. We have found that small light packages(under 5 pounds) can
be shipped very economically through USPS or DHL. For questions contact
info@lighttoolsupply.com
Who pays for duties and taxes on International Orders?
The customer has to pay the duties and taxes to the delivery company
upon receiving the order. These fees are not included in the shipping
charge billed by Light Tool Co. These fees are individually determined
by your government. If you would like more information please email

How do I calculate shipping?
Most shipping is calculated automatically before you finish paying for
your order. In the case of items that are over 150 lbs and must go by
truck, shipping is also calculated automatically. However we may need to
contact you about additional charges such as residential delivery and
Liftgate Truck Charge. We can also ship truck shipments to your local
Truck Terminal for you to pick up. For inquires email

What do I do if I receive an order damaged?
Please take extra care to make sure the box or pallet (truck shipments)
is delivered in good condition before you sign for it. Light Tool Supply
