Got a set also.

How is Gearwrench quality? I need an 18" adjustable and the same seller has a GW for $24.00.

Thanks Jim, that's the one I'm looking at but what about Gearwrench quality, where do the fit in? US made? Better than C-Man but less than SO, Mat, Crescent, etc?


thanks,

Rob

Matco rebrands some Gearwrench. The Gearwrench stuff I have, I consider to be very very good quality that has held up well and worth what I paid. Lots of threads here pro and con about Gearwrench. Others will add their thoughts I'm sure. I want to get the 24-inch Gearwrench adjustable from Cripe. YMMV
Cheers, JimDon

Irwin easy release vise grip set (small, medium, large) clearance priced at Lowes. $10.99 from $25.

Yes they are made in China, but for that price it is a great deal. Even comes with a cheesy roll up case.

$10 off $50 coupon at Autozone. 8-18 to 8-21

See attachment.

Heh... I know it's over, but on the 18th, I went to AZ to get a power steering pump for my Suburban, then needed to find something else there for $15 to bring the total up - spent 20 min or so, then they couldn't get the coupon to work. Tried telling me that something similar happened the other day with a mother/daughter trying to use a photocopy of the same coupon, second time it didn't go through, because it had already been used.

I tried to explain that this was online, and that anyone could print this same coupon out, then the guy tries to tell me that each coupon would have it's own different barcode. ********. They said I could try it at the store down the street, so I did. No problems there. They even laughed that I the first store just sent me to them. :lol_hitti:lol_hitti

Paid $13 last week. Took them home and they seem OK. No problem with China for something this cheap. Just went through Lowes today and they are further marked down to $9.99 so I picked up three more (1 package = 3 vise-grips).

Here's a pretty good one.

Eastwood TIG 200 amp welder normally $899.99 is $699.99 with free shipping for today only.

Go here and add it to your cart:

http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-ac-dc-tig-200-welder.html

Enter 1EM0768 as the source code and it should adjust the price.


I've heard good and bad about this welder, but I figured I would give it a try. After all, since it's an Eastwood branded product, the welder has a one year money back guarantee.

For those of you with amazon prime, it might be a better deal there (after shipping). $28.64. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TFE7ZC/?tag=atomicindus08-20 . I have prime so I can't see, but I think it probably qualifies for free super saver too? Dunno how good of a deal it is or isn't. Price trackers show it's been around that price for a couple months now, within a dollar or two, and the most it's been in the last 9 months is $34 ($6 more). Unless it's not the same hose. But I think it is, same part number (minus the LEG at the beginning that I think tooltopia adds, and if you read the description the part numbers are the same).

It is Super Saver Shipping Eligible.

On sale for $10 this week at China Freight. These things are great. I have about 6 of them, all with different wheels or brushes on them. They are so cheap, it is easier than stopping to change wheels or brushes when you are doing a job. Go from grinding for welding, to a flap wheel for rust, to a steel wire brush etc...

I even grabbed one for a cheap chop saw attachment, for when you have a small job and dont want to drag out the bigger chop saw:

craftsman-35309-mechanics-tool-set-309-piece-new_390289515328.jpg

Discontinued product deal: Craftsman #35309 - 309 pc mechanic's tool set (196 sockets) - $199.88, regularly $300 at Sears.com. This was on sale in last year's Black Friday circular for $249.

I'm told this is discontinued; the sockets are not laser etched or dual marked, but otherwise I think this is a solid deal. You can not purchase online, but the in-store locator link will tell you if you can find it locally. I was able to place a phone order (Sears card holders only) and picked it up in the merchandise bay an hour later.

Just got back from Lowes. Buy a Bostitch knife for ~$11 and get a Bostitch $20 framing hammer free. The same deal applies to a few other Bostitch items - free hammer.

Yup. Definately bostitch. Didn't realize stanley made stuff under that name. Good deal, I needed a 2nd tape measure anyway. 19.99 for tape measure and free $19.99 hammer. Seems like solid stuff.

I'm hiding from Irene in lowes right now, thanks. Lol

That's $10 per tool. IMO not a good deal.

Check your local Sears. I found this set in the clearance section for $4:

I have enough cheap tape measures. I wanted a better one, and this one seems to be a much more solid unit from what I could tell in the couple minutes i've been playing with it.

It has Stanleys blade armor (supposedly makes the blade much more durable) 13 ft of standout and a wider grippy end so you can measure long things yourself without having to say "hey, could you hold this for a sec"?

The hammer has anti-vibration technology (like a lot of the new ones do) and also feels solid with a great grip on the handle.

IMO, $10 for a hammer that sold from comparable brands for $20, and $10 for a tape measure that sold from comparable brands for $20 was a great deal.

Sometimes a good deal isn't as easy to quantify as saying $10 per tool is not a good deal. It depends on the quality of the tool we're talking about...

I have some of those and I love them. I'd rather use it then the fat max.

When I was in college I worked in a lumber yard and they let us try all the different tape measures in the store. The only ones that held up for any time were the Stanley 25' and 30' ones. Most of the "cheap" ones were dead within one shift.

If you find something that works better I'm all ears.

I'm guessing its probably China for that price... but if you are going to buy it, perhaps it will stack with the BTC5 (5 off $25) coupon.

those sets were USA at one time. Your stores may have old stock. I'd chance online as well as the wrenches in the picture clearly say USA. As i've said in the past i've never been steered wrong by buying online. I've never seen soneone here say they got chinese wrenches from an online order either.

The 18pc Pro set, which is those two sets combined, retails for around 100 so $60 for both great if you can run down the USA wrenches. Tempted to order a couple sets myself even though i own too many sets of combos already.

Yes You can use that code. I loged onto discover so I should get 10% cash back( within 8 weeks) and $5 off the 30 price. so 25 plus tax - 2.5= 22.5 plus tax.

And I did it twice, so 2 sets for 44.5 plus tax

wow great deal. They're Cman Pro wrenches [if they're USA]. Works out to only 3.30 a wrench.
Craftsman Full Polish means made in China.

In stores the sets are all full polish now, no longer Craftsman pro. There's a good chance they're made in China.

Then again, maybe Sears is trying to liquidate all remaining Craftsman Pro made-in-USA wrenches.
