3 Amazon Basics Tools Worth Buying (And 1 To Steer Clear Of)
www.slashgear.com: Amazon has a vast selection of tools in its ever-expanding catalog.

I was intrigued to see that Amazon has created its own brand of tools. Many companies have already perfected the consumer market for tools ranging from household to professional use. Brands such as Milwaukee and Dewalt already sell their tools through the Amazon website and have known reliable products that customers can trust. While Amazon might pull some customers through lower prices and people who are new to tool work it is harder to guarantee reliability. The article mentions that some of the Amazon Basic tools are great for the price point that is being offered even if the tool does not quite compare to others sold by competitors. I also found it interesting that the amazon basic screwdriver kit was originally sold by Denali before Amazon purchased the rights to sell the product. Amazon is an ever growing platform that continues to create more products and I would not be surprised to see them buying out and reselling other tools from smaller companies.
