Just a word of advice about tool wholesalers/dropshippers....
If you are lookin gfor brand name tools, forget it. You won't find any and if you do you won't get competitive wholesale pricing.
On dropshippers in general....
Be sure to check them out thoroughly before you use just any dropshipper. There are quite a few out there that seem to have low pricing but then on top of the dropship fee (which is justified) they charge you for a whole bunch of other fees like "better" packaging boxes or "insurance" or "warranties". Some will even charge you more than actual shipping rates and some will charge ALL of the above.
If you do not buy all of these extra things, you will be responsible for all of the defectives, lost packages, and so forth, even if you know for a fact that it was the dropshippers fault. So once you add it all up, you are paying way more than you thought you were and making less money than you thought you were going to make, if you are not losing money.
Also, unless you know how to do it, forget using a dropshipper on ebay, because ebay is saturated with sellers using every dropshipper out there. There is a way to do it, but only few know how and even fewer have the money, time or patience to tough it out for the first 6 months while you are making no money (or even losing some).
What alot of these dropshippers don't tell you is that they will give you somewhat better wholesale prices if you maintain certain monthly sales, but getting there could cost you your shirt if you are not prepared with enough working capital.
Good luck.
