HOT DEAL Index!!

[kythri]

Amazon's posting a ton of "Lightning Deals" this week (similar setup to a "Woot Off", I guess - limited time, limited quantity of them available).

Their "Save **%!!" can be deceptive, though - make sure you click-through to see what they normally offer it for, as the advertised percentage off is commonly showing the percentage off of list price, not normal Amazon price.

Not saying that there aren't deals, but I almost picked up an item that I really didn't NEED right now, thinking it was a stupendous deal, when normally it's only a few bucks more, and I can afford to wait.

New Amazon Power Tool & Accessory Deals (via TG) - expiration dates are varied, but are valid until December

As kythri mentioned, Amazon is having a lot of "gold box" deals throughout the day. Some are worth it, others are ho-hum.

Craftsman 40 pc. Tap and Die Set, Master Rethreader $38.24 + tax.

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00952105000P

Same set as the Kastar 972 thread restore/chaser set and made in the USA.

I added a $3.79 socket and was able to apply the SEARS2011 code so my total was $39.25 after tax with in-store pick up.

The price break down is taking 15% off then 10% off. Turns out to be about 22% off, this works on most full price items. Add it to the cart to see the discounts.

Promo code Sears2011 doesn't seem to be working anymore.

It's still working. You have to have $50 in your cart, AFTER all other applicable discounts, and then you'll get the $5 off.

 

[adamsredlines]

That same sears deal works on the 3/8 swivel socket set, I got it down from 54.99 to 38.24 for a set! I'm sure there's lots of stuff it'll work on, just gotta find them.

 

[Skin]

More of a luke warm deal but the Craftsman 3pc socket rail sets [the black plastic ones] currently have a stacked discount of 10% + 15% bringing them down to just under $10 for the set of 3.

any compressor deals like that lowes one I missed out on?

Sometimes the $5 off $50 comes off first.

It will not work on certain sale items, such as when a price is pre-determined. If the sale says "wrench set for $54", then the coupon might not work. On the other hand, if it says "wrench set for $60 - 10% off = $54", then the coupon should work.

Torin Toolbox (originally sold at Costco for much more) on CL for $400

http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/tls/2711549198.html

I would buy it myself...but just bought a Sears Montezuma 2 months ago...where was this one when I was shopping

Couldn't find the gray color ones online. I saw it in local store.

For Discover credit card only, specifically regarding Sears.

This has been covered before but with the Holiday sales just beginning I think it would be good to repeat:
Discover Cash Back is at 15% for Sears right now (and will vary between 5%-20% over the holidays) and if you go to Sears through the Discover "Participating Merchants" link via the Discover web site BEFORE you add/search/checkout and THEN enter a coupon code you will get the additional 15% cash back in your next Discover statement. This will not affect the Sears sale prices and you can usually combine this with any ONE coupon code for some significant savings from Sears in particular.
For example, I need another thread chaser set and I looked at the one from Sears from a page back and decided to buy it. I closed the Sears webpage (you might want to clear all browser cookies via your Internet Tools tab) then opened my Discover account website -> clicked on the "Participating Merchants" link -> got to the Sears offer link -> clicked on "Shop Sears Now" link -> this opened the Sears website -> searched for the tread chaser -> put it in my cart for in-store pickup -> added one other wrench to bring the total over $50 AFTER all Sears discounts are applied -> clicked on "Check Out" -> entered the appropriate Sears coupon code at the bottom of the page -> finished checking out. I received the $5 off $50 purchase, all Sears discounts, and will receive 15% of the purchase total in my next Discover statement.
I have found that if your cart does not reflect the total savings from Sears you should clear your browser cookies and start over until it does because dealing with Sears online customer service after the fact is problematic at best.
Hope this helps.

from my former experience with discover, i never get the cash back. Maybe because i put something in chart before I went through the discover link?

DEAL DEAD!

 

[Ed_EOD]

Thanks for those Discover card tips. I'm Discovers most hated type of card holder. They have paid me more money than I have paid them.

 

[volunteers]

$39.99, a good deal>?

Heads-up - Gearwrench X-Beam 8-wrench + bits ratcheting wrench set is about to be on sale via Amazon.

You first have to go to the Amazon BF deals page (link) and then click on the arrow to find the lightning deal if it's not up already.

See attached screenshot to see where the info/purchase link will be.

DEAL GOES LIVE 3PM ET TODAY

 

[t1r2u3s4t]

not sure, there are only 8 metric wrenches in the set...

$39.99, a good deal>?

 

[halo]

Scored on the Ridgid drill press hot deal ---NJ Home Depot. Thanks for the heads up on that one!!!!

$76.62 out the door. Stock showed zero at the store so I started snooping around and saw a dusty box on a 3rd tier. Sure enough - that was it..... When the guy rang it up, he was in disbelief and checked with a manager who then carefully went over the box looking for a reason not to sell it - LOL!!

You have to look yourself - their stock system is screwed up.....

 

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i might have to take a walk over to my local home depot. do you know the 3 didget sku number on that?

It's not bad. I just checked the price of a 12-piece and it's $120. Granted those extra 4-pieces are large sizes, this is an okay deal. Not screaming-hot, but it is $20-$30 off the regular price.

I'm a fan of X-Beams, but I've got more than enough ratcheting wrenches.

Just wanted to quick post this up before I leave for work. CP power tools on clearance, pretty good deal.

Someone buy me one, please!

Gear Wrench 3870 7 Piece Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Set - $31.97

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HBC73U/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Been watching this for a while, wouldn't bite it at the $50 its been but this is the lowest ever, eligible for free shipping / prime two day. Hopefully no more dirty hands pulling the plug out.

 

[pacsguy]

I just heard back from pbtools.us. They are not having the 30% off promotion this year. They are offering free shipping and a t-shirt. Lame.

 

[roktoy]

Anyone seen a good deal on a 3/8" square drive impact wrench....probably a 12V version?

Maybe a Dewalt or Makita Max? Or similar?

 

[halo]

i might have to take a walk over to my local home depot. do you know the 3 didget sku number on that?

All I have on the receipt is 430264

And it looks just like the Snap on one I think I paid over $100.00 a number of years ago.

That's pretty weak... Bosch's 18v Impactor (made for fastening) runs about 130 lb-ft... their $$$$ 18v impact gun for actual impact use is over 500 lb-ft. Just something to consider... 9x lb-ft isn't much!

Lindstrom RX 8150 flush cutters. Seems to have a ton of them. Accepted my offer of $12 (shipped!). This is a smoking hot deal. If you don't need them, they're top of the line if your wife/gf is into jewelry or beading.

And if the cute girl behind the counter was to accept the hf 20% off them the price would be just under $60. CRAZY!

Revisiting the deal below. As my local TSC didn't have this item in stock, I took advantage of Home Depot's "Meet & Beat" policy. They price matched it at $49.99 and gave me an additional %10 off for a total of $45 plus tax.

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but this is a smokin' deal on the D28110.

That is probably the problem. I have gotten the cash back after just closing the Sears website, making sure I don't have anything in my cart, and opening the Discover website and going through them to Sears again and then adding the items and checking out. Some people have to clear their browser cookies before going through Discover. My browser is FireFox FWIW.

Sent in an offer of $12, smoking deal considering the cheapest price on amazon is $70

 

[Adrien]

Is it just me, or did Home Depot remove a lot of the BF items from their website?

Thanks for the tip, I offered $12 too. My mother-in-law will love these for jewelry work.

I offered $12 just now as well.

Funny, there are 23 other offers from garage journal members.

Seems like a good deal on some knipex pliers/screwdrivers

A lot of them were never up there to begin with. They're "special buys".

Not sure if the HD Black Friday ad was out or not (I heard it wasn't) I was snooping around looking for a drill press (by the way is it in a big box or is some assembly required?) and I noticed alot of upper racks had pallets with pink tags saying Black Friday yada yada. So you can atleast get an idea of what it is, not so much prices though.

The drill press box is pretty big and heavy. I don't have it in front of me, but maybe 5 feet tall, 30 inches wide, and a foot deep? It's mostly white cardboard with the ridgid logo and I believe an outline/picture of the drill press on it. Has to weight at least 150 pounds. Unless I'm just getting weaker, ha!
