Completely misleading product information
Completely misleading product information that makes you think you're buying a battery pack while they send you only one battery basically for the price of two as I discovered a day after.

Against my better judgement I placed a (too good to be true order) for Milwaukee Tools from Acme Tool. I placed the order on 1/7/26 and received an email confirming the order on 1/8/26 with the tracking information. According to the tracking information, on February 6th, the order finally cleared customs. According to the tracking company, on February 8th the item arrived in my city and on February 11th the item was delivered. In fact, the item was never delivered. Bear in mind that this was an order for several large tools and tool cases. There should have been at least 3 medium to large boxes in the delivery. I contacted the company via email, and received 2 replies 1 MINUTE APART via email as follows. Message 1: Thanks for reaching out to us. We have relayed your request to the logistics company. However, the delivery person did not provide any photos. Thank you for your understanding and support. Regards, Ada Message 2: Thanks for contacting us. We have checked and found that the logistics status of your order is "Delivered Successfully". Due to the fact that international logistics delivery sometimes may be affected by local delivery practices, packages may be temporarily placed at the door, in the property, with neighbors or with family members. We suggest that you: 1.Check the areas around your residence where packages might be placed. 2.Ask your family members or roommates if they have collected it on your behalf. 3.Confirm with your neighbor whether they have temporarily stored your package. Wish you a happy life! Regards, Ada Please note that our local delivery companies (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.,) almost always take photos of their deliveries and any large items are left with a doorbell ring. We are retired were both at home on February 11th. This is a scam company and I paid the price for assuming otherwise.

I purchased over $1500 dollars worth of tools in one order. In that order was a master impact socket set. Upon opening them I found 16 sockets missing. I double checked the order. The missing sockets should have came in the set. I advised ACME of the situation. They told me there was nothing they could do. I even asked to buy the missing sockets and they refused to sell them individually. Stear clear of these fools what a joke. They offered to send me a $100 rebate which I told them to just keep. It was an insult and sounds like they need the money to improve their s//tty customer service.

I've had a couple of orders with acme that were totally fine. On my most recent order, it was significantly delayed, which they did not tell me until I contacted support to ask why I didn't have a shipping notification yet after 10 days. At that point they said it was backordered with an ETA of about 2.5-3 months, so I asked to cancel the order. They said they could not and I would have to wait for it to arrive and could then return it. I could not wait that long (birthday gift) so I ordered it from someone else. In about 2 days I got a notification that it had shipped, and it arrived a few days after that. How did they get the timeline so wrong? Then, I had to pay the shipping to return it! When I asked about reimbursement, I was informed, that the bad information was not their responsibility. To add insult to injury, they have also referred to me by an incorrect name in every support response.

I just recently had a problem with Acme I’ve placed other orders back in September and again in October for Milwaukee tools from Acme and the orders went great I got the product and no issues. We then come to an order that I placed in the first half of December for several items one of them was a Milwaukee heated hooded jacket as a Christmas present to myself , the jacket I had was falling apart as soon as I got my new one I thankfully trashed my current one then I had several other items another item was a screw driver type pick set , and then there was a packout regular screw driver and prybar set. I received my jacket actually the day after Christmas and some of the other stuff in my order all except the screw driver pick set and the screwdriver prybar set I just had to wait on that a few more days. We had a really warm Christmas here where I live so I hadn’t used my jacket yet and when I opened the package and took it out and put the battery in and turned it on with a fully charged battery it died after like 5 minutes I took that battery off and put another battery on and nothing it no longer worked I could occasionally get it to come on for a minute or so then right back off so I contacted Acme and she gave me a couple of solutions we could do I could send this one back and they could get me another one but it was going to be a good while it is on back order keep in mind I already trashed my original jacket for this wonderful jacket which the jacket was fine just the heated part didn’t work, my next option was to just send it back and they would give me a refund , and my third and final option was to keep the jacket and they would give me a discount which I would prefer have a working heated jacket that’s why I ordered it but if it was going to be worth it I’d just keep it then I got their offer which the customer service person said I wouldn’t like is to just give me $20 back on the purchase price, so now I am without coat because I sent it back thanks for that by the way Acme, then keep in mind I had two more items that was still to be delivered the first the pick set I got several days late the second get this conveniently went on to the back order list imagine that, so it would take some kind miracle to get me to do business with them again which is a shame because they had some good deals and until this was always very good company. Sorry so long of a review I’m just venting.

I bought two items and after payment, I saw a Google price notification that said it was lower somewhere else. So I contacted them like 2 minutes after I ordered. They did not respond and I reached out again. They said they don't match Amazon because it is a 3rd party seller. I said OK I will refuse the package. They said they will charge me shipping even though it was free shipping. I will contact my credit card company. Customer service sucks, like big time attitude. Just match the price already. I will never do business with these clowns, and neither should you.

They use high-speed automated logistics to create shipping labels almost instantly, which allows them toclaim the order is "in process" and uncancelable-even if the box sits in their warehouse for DAYS. I ordered something on a holiday, was given ZERO opportunity to cancel, and its magicly shipped the next day within an hour of opening? Seems fishy. They won't cancel the order and are making me PAY for return shipping. They label lock so they can refuse to cancel your order.
