From their logo "Quality tools and ridiculously low prices"

Seems they began selling on tools bought from bankrupt companies, and now act as a secondary channel for many "real" high end brands. (Ie they can sell overstock through this company without polluting their main market / brand)

I am going to guess they do more than just tools now.

They don't sell overstock anymore. They sell their own stuff. It's mostly Chinese import. But you always know what you're getting and quality ranges from alright to excellent.
