The margins in tools are very high. Maybe for tool manufacturers, but not for tool distributors; margins are razor thin for distributors. Further, most people who buy tools are hands on people; they would prefer to buy after testing it and playing with it at a hardware store. Buying online is just not suited for guys who want to try out the tools first. I know I would fork out dough for a power saw without playing with it first. By the way...sold short 500 shares at $80 and change this AM at the open. The announcement and delayed opening was all the signals I need. Will put a stop loss of $72 to protect any profits made.
