I have a bunch of PowerXchange cordless tools. It's unfortunate they have two battery systems with the same name and voltage. Mine are the style with angular batteries, not the brick shaped batteries. Here is my opinion o 1/2" Hammer drill - Excellent. Lot's of power. Metal gear case...

I think C-T has some of the highest value wrenches and square drive going and has had for years. We're starting to see competition at the mid price range, high quality, level but C-T has owned this space for years.

I'm thrill to come across this communities for Canadian tire victims. I'm a 3rd year apprentice in the automotive service trade and Canadian tire was my first shop. Nobody else would hire me with no experience at the time. as soon as I got my first year training I got the hell out of there. The...

It's ironic that a familiar store with the word 'tire' right in its name would do so poorly at stocking, selling, installing, servicing and providing warranties for its name-sake product. Yet their gradual decline in the automotive field is well-known, despite their recent attempts to reverse...

Simply put, I bought a battery for a motorcycle. It lasted only a few months so I took it back to CTC in Kingston (I had the bill) and complained about its poor performance and stated I wanted a replacement. I was told they'd have to test it and it would cost me etc etc. I said that's up to you...

Once in a while we get some young clerks or cashiers posting here. They often seem genuinely surprised that many people deeply despise a company that they apparently think is simply awesome. The problem could be one of perspective. Possibly they are genuinely unaware of the wider context of...

Just brought a brand new shark vacum for three days. Use it once and it did not work well due to poor design. It does not work well on hard wood floor without turnning on the power brush. But turning on the bursh will damage my hard wood floor. So try to refund it. But CT refuse to give me back...

CBS reported on a recent Leger Marketing survey and on 'secret shopper' reviews of customer service in Canadian retailers. It was a close, three-way race for last place, between Canadian Tire, Zellers and Walmart. In the end, Canadian Tire sucked more than every other major Canadian retailer...
