Irwin Inc - Large variety or tools

01/26/2016

Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 4

I think they have decent quality products, I really wish they would bring there prices down, they are priced some what high. I do still order from them because it is so convenient

Strengths: Very knowledgeable sales people always will to help me out. They sent me a free shirt on my First initial buy in purchase order which really suprised me.

Needs to improve: There pricing is some what high. I believe this is there biggest weakness. The only other weakness when my order arrives incomplete and instead of notifying me prior to shipping my order they just ship my order and on packing slip it just shows the items as 0 shipped. I would really appreciate a heads up prior shipping instead of expecting my complte order to arrive only to find out some items are back ordered.

Speed 5 / Price 4 / Quality 5

There service is great even though I only spend about 200 to 300 a month. They treat great and that's hard to find now a days.

Strengths: My first order I really dropped the ball and ordered 40 sets of m-pact 2 gloves not knowing they would be impossible for my guys on the line to use. Well long story short Timmy took care of me and let me return them and switch over to the fast fit gloves instead.

I met Bradley at the sema trade show in Las Vegas, NV. I was amazed at the show they put on in there booth. Basically using UV lights to show how filthy my hands were and how clean they were after using Germ-X.

Gorilla Glue is great to have on hand I can't tell you how many times it has saved my behind. Either for emergency repair or for prototyping. I can always count on my Gorilla Glue.

Strengths: There biggest strength is there glue. They are all very friendly people, every order I place is shipped in a timely Manor and I have never had any problems with with my orders.

Operations , Automotive
07/23/2014

Speed 5 / Price 5 / Quality 5

There staff has always been available to help out when ever there are issues. Majority of the issues were in the first 3 months with all my employees learning how to use it.

Strengths: I have been using kronos for all my job sites for a little over a year. The thing I like most is all my employees can log in from any computer or smart phone and verify time sheets, check therw up coming schedules, see who else is working what days incase the need to request a swap. All my employees are very happy with kronos, once they fully learned how to use it.

Needs to improve: It does take some time to fully learn all the functionality of Kronos, how ever once you get the hang of it, its well worth it.

Operations , Automotive
07/20/2014

Speed 5 / Price 4 / Quality 5

I started off dealing with robbie who kind of rubbed me the wrong way. So I called and requested a new rep, and let me tell you that was the best decision I have made. A+ customer service. I was told robbie is no longer with the company.

Strengths: I use Molex for water proof connectors while installing oem running boards for a few auto manufactures. They are better than the connectors the factory provides. I also purchase bulbs sockets that are oem quality at a fraction of the cost.

Needs to improve: none
