Re: I'd like to stop buying from Amazon

I'd like to stop buying from Amazon But that would mean I'd have to stop buying anything, as local stores stock almost nothing I need.

You're not stuck choosing between "Amazon" or "local" — there's no lack of other stores online that sell the same things, often for better prices.

For example:

Nowhere stocks ... decent brands of pliers, like Knipex.

Taking the lazy route for the moment, it took me about two seconds for Google Shop to show me a whole bunch of places selling those — all of which have to also appear in regular Web searches in order to show up there, I believe.
