As far as BJ's and Sam's for tools or car stuff I wouldn't recommed
either. The few brand names that the carry can be bought cheaper through
catalogs. Most of the tool catalogs that I deal with ship for free and
usually you don't pay sales tax. I have found that even places like home
Depot sell for the same price as the so called discount warehouses. If you
can find an identical item K Mart will even match the price. If you
haven't shopped Harbor Freight 1-800-423-2567 then give them a call. They
have some brand name tools and a lot of off brand imported stuff. I have
bought a lot of air tools as well as other stuff from them and have yet to
be disapointed. As far as hand tools I don't think you can beat craftsman.
