Buffalo Tools might just be the cheapest, most crappy products on the planet. You really get what you pay for with junk made by this company. It seems like they produce just about everything, from dust masks, tape measure, brushes, to power tools. Here’s some of the stuff I tried:
Crappy dust masks at 10 for 99 cents. The metal nose bendy thing on ALL of them are falling off before the first use.

Crappy goggles. They cracked in half while stretching the elastic to put them on.

Even their artist brushes look like crap. 99 cents for 20 sounds like a great deal, but look at how the bristles look loose. Also at the bottom of the package there are a few there that look like they have fallen off the brush.

A lot of the power tools these guys make look tempting. I saw an entire 7 piece cordless set with a bunch of stuff for about $70. The same thing in popular brand name form usually go for over $150. After experiencing some of their cheaper products, I wouldn’t touch the more pricy ones with a 10 foot pole.

I’m always misplacing my tape measure. So I thought I’d get at least 2 more so I can always have one somewhere. I ended up spending $10 for two Stanley 25′ PowerLocks instead of the Buffalo Tools 25′ that were going for $2.00 each.

Bottom line. Buffalo Tools makes cheap products. Avoid them like the plague and spend a little more and get something that, at the very least, doesn’t fall apart on (or before!) the first use.
