I still remember an order when amazon made a goof on a 10 pc Freud Blades pack and priced it for 1 blade. They did cancel the order but gave 1 blade for FREE.

Don't see any real bargain there.

If I marked a hammer $100. and then marked it down to $7. .............. would you go this nuts?

I see the same file set at Grainger priced at $117 .......... but "other" sets are much much lower.

What makes these special?

Uh...ok..:headscrat...google Nicholson 22030n and tell me where you can find it even remotely close to 9 bucks....:wtf:



I'm guessing that the cheaper set is foreign, while the 22030n is US....just guessing, and that's why I only grabbed that one.

Can I complain that you guys find these deals? Nicholson makes the best files. Machinist I worked for will buy no other ones. And my wife insisted that I order them. I'm trapped!

OK..... This page shows the disparity in prices ....... I would guess it is an Amazon screwup.

Does anybody really get some fuition from these screwups? They can't catch them all can they? It ain't like it's an iPod that would have enough traffic for them to figure it out or a Justin Bieber CD!

Maybe the file traffic will be low enough they won't notice...

I suggest we speak in whispers!

School me on the file sets? Can you typically take off the handles on the ones that come with handles, to use with the ones that don't come with handles? Or do you need to buy some extra handles?

From what i see i dont think the handle comes off I am pretty sure it stays on the files that come with handles.

When orders on a niche product suddenly go through the roof i'll bet their system throws up a flag. A few people might of got away with it but i fully expect it to be cancelled especially with people ordering them in bulk to try and flip.

No kidding, with the people admitting to buying multiples they are probably people out there really stocking up and keeping quiet on their greedy ways.....:dunno:

Hoarding is the GJ way!:lol:

I ordered 3 sets last night. I really hope it isn't a mistake. I've needed some new files for awhile now.

Anyone else getting their sets in 4-6 weeks? Seems kind of long doesn't it?

Unfortuntately, hoarding is the way to kill a deal.

Thanks for the heads up. I jumped in for one of each. Cross your fingers...

With it being Amazon and not a 3rd party selling it i think they'll go threw. They'll just chuck it up as a loss instead of losing multiple customers. Here is my estimated delivery date- April 18, 2011 - May 2, 2011. I think they might just be out of stock for now.



Here is another deal i spotted the other day. I'm always in need of quality consumables for my grinders and found these.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VXTTMK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I was going to wait until they arrived to confirm they are 20 packs and post here. Granted I had to pay shipping since their from MSC and not amazon but i ordered 5 packs. Once again i can not confirm that these are 20 packs or single disc. If their single disc i will be returning them since it is not whats posted in the description.

I placed an order for all 3 sets. We will see what happens. I do have a question I hope someone can answer. The files that have no handle. Will the instinct handles from Snap-on fit? The ones the sell specifically for Snap-on files. Or will the file handles from PB swiss fit? I know they sell handles on Amazon for these files, but I am curious as to what else fits. Thanks for your help

I should know something tomorrow. Just looked at the tracking number and it'll be at my doorstep tomorrow. I understand what you mean about it on their site. I'll just email amazon after the fact and let them know. I'm sure I'll get a call tag to ship them back from MSC since the description isn't rite.
