Burns Power Tools

[spence]

True story. Several years ago my brand new Makita cordless drill stopped working properly. The motor would spin but the chuck wouldn’t move. I took it to Burns as they are the closest warranty service location. The guy looks at it and goes you’ve got the speed switch in the middle. God I felt like a dork.

That's a good one Spence. You probably made that guys day.... funnier. Home depot would have had you go get another off the shelf.

I have always wanted to check out Burns tools, but that is a far drive for me. Theres a local seed store down here and this mornng i went to investigate seed for a meadow i am clearing on my land. their prices were around $2 a lb for the same seed i was seeing online for around $10 a lb. Just goes to show that shopping at local family owned businesses is so important. Support them or they will be gone for good

I haven't been to the new store yet....if it's anything like the old location it's worth the trip.
I know of no other professional woodworkers store that even comes close.
It's a family business and I hope they're around for a long time.
