I'd go down there and take one out of the box. They don't seem to mind people handling stuff. I've ( my company ) has probably spent $1,000.00 there in the last month. I was actually the last customer of the night on Thursday & Friday. The hand tools, jacks, clamps, straps etc aren't too bad. The power tools look iffy, although I've been told by some people that they lasted longer than they thought. The lathes, welders, cement mixers etc look pretty choochie ( that's a North Shore Italian American term for real crap ). I bet the Spotting Scope fits in this category. Still, doesn't hurt to look. They're in the former Circut City building, Rt. 1 South in Danvers across the highway from Costco.
