I've been ordering from them for years. They finally put a store near where I used to live in PA about 2 yrs ago. I got a lot of things for my bros for xmas there. In my former career, I used to setup their catalog for printing. It's a good store overall but if you go for the cheaper model of something, that is what you will get, a "cheaper" model. But the thing to understand is, their more expensive stuff is still cheaper than an equal quality dept store one and will typically be tougher. All of my tools and power tools from them are still going strong. You would be surprised what you can get there if you just look around a bit. Lots of stuff for garden, painting...
Another decent and cheap (non-bikey) site is The Sportsmans Guide. Mostly fishing, hunting types of stuff... but if you dig around a bit, there are tons of very useful things for biking, hiking and camping. In the military surplus area is where I find my best buys. Lots of wool and good gear. They also stock womens clothes, home items, electronics... Just thought I'd pass that one on to you as well. (I used to do their catalog too. ) http://shop.sportsmansguide.com/
