Hot or Not? TP Tools & Equipment
We’ve been receiving the TP Tools & Equipment catalong for about eight months now, and we’re always impressed with their selection of tools. We haven’t seen anyone that offers the same combination of practical and reasonably-priced tools oriented toward professional fabrication and auto restoration.
But we haven’t had a chance to order from them yet, and we wonder how easy they are to work with. Have any of you done business with TP? If you have — or know someone who has, or even just have an opinion — let us know in comments. We’d also like to hear about any experiences you might have with their self-branded tools — from pneumatics to the large blasting cabinets.
And hey — even if you haven’t heard of them, you should call for your free catalog. If nothing else, the catalogs are great drool material.

Long time reader, forst time poster here.
Definitely ‘HOT’. I’ve been dealing with this company for at least 20 years now. I have one of the larger (960) cabinets, as well as a pressure blaster from their line of discontinued pressure units (which were actually made by Brut and sold for many years in a cross-branding deal). Much like Eastwood, the company has embraced the auto restoration crowd in later years and increased their lineup of good quality tools geared to that end. Long a common sight at the Carlisle, PA swap meet, I’ve picked up tools and machinery for fabrication and restoration/maintenance over the years while at the show, and once stopped by the store when driving through that part of Ohio. They’ve only grown since then.
TP-branded equipment is first rate stuff, not overly expensive, and will last a long time IMO. I’ve beat on the cabinets I’ve gotten from them and they are still running like new.
