[Wiggawam]

Stubbies or no?

 

[kythri]

The "original" style ones, or some variant?

 

[AlphaGarage]

Just got a clip of the ad. If the ad is correct, it looks like all GearWrench sets are on sale. Maybe time to get that stubby set!

 

[Junkman]

Stubbies or no?

The ad says "Plus allGearWrench ratcheting wrench sets at 50% off". That must include the stubbies.

 

[kythri]

Sweetness.

Where the heck was this ad published, anyhow?!

 

[bmwpower]

All sets must include the XL sets, no?

 

[Namocsid]

All sets must include the XL sets, no?

You'd figure that, yet somehow I think Sears might manage to screw that up...

 

[kythri]

Do the stores even stock the XL sets? Does the ad say anything about "In-Store Only" ??

 

[biggsean]

Looks like I'm definitely making a trip to Sears tomorrow morning. Thanks for the awesome lead!

 

[PoorOwner]

like most people on this board who have the regular gearwrenches already I am watching the stubbies like a hawk.

 

[Stuey]

As far as I'm aware, stores don't stock XLs

 

[AlphaGarage]

Sorry, don't know if this is limited to just stores or not. The ad I posted is all I've seen.

 

[Wiggawam]

Where did you get the paper add by chance? Just in case I have to haggle with the monkeys.

 

[kvom]

I've been looking for the stubbies myself for a while.

 

[DiStOrTiOn]

Sweet, I have been wanting stubby wrenches. Haven't figured out where to put them in my crowded box, but I will. Thanks for the lead.

No worries with something as small as a set of wrenches, the important part is collecting the goodies, you have the rest of your life to figure out where your going to stash them!

 

[biggsean]

I've already got a set of ratcheting stubbies. Here's to hoping they stock the flex stubbies tomorrow.

 

[oldgoat]

I'm going to have to stop reading these threads. It gets a little expensive after a while buying the bargains. Good thing the wife never knows about them.

 

[PoorOwner]

Do you guys think they will let me use the craftsman calendar $5 off coupon?
It's supposed to be for craftsman purchases only.. though.

Hell yeah! I still have some stuff sitting in boxes on my workbench. I'll eventually find a place to put the stuff...

Looks like the stubbies are on sale also:

I didn't see the flex stubbies (which are the ones I want to pick up) with sale pricing online. I'll check out in store prices on my lunch break.

 

[Danglerb]

Looks like I may revive Sears economy a little today. Gearwrench 4 in 1 box end SAE $15 (I have the metric pair), 7 pc flex heads for $45.

 

[Lyaec350]

Make sure to use your $5 off $25 coupons (you did get more than 1 Craftsman Club calendar didnt you? )

 

[PoorOwner]

IMO spend the extra $15 to get the flex instead of the $30 straight set..
One thing is you get the flex which is more versatile, a little bulkier though.

But the straight metric has only 18MM which is useless for Japanese cars (if you care), the flex has 19mm instead of 18mm.

Went into the store in White Marsh, MD, around noon. Very few of the sale items marked there, and the fellow working there wasn't really up on it.

Picked up the "Quad-Box" sets in SAE and metric. Nice to throw just 2 wrenches in the glove box of my '71 Scout and '93 BMW have some options.

Debated and eventually passed on the half-moon sets, money's a little tight. Wish I'd gotten them, they're out of stock at my home stores in NY. Couldn't really think of a time I'd wished I had them, recently, but for sure now I'll need them next week.

Did pick up the 4-piece large metric set, 44041 for $29.99 (21mm, 22, 24, 25). They were out of the 44040 SAE set, but I can get that one at home.

Looked like all the non-XL sets were on sale around half-off, and the XLs are 10%. The miscellaneous drivers and things were hardly on sale.

Happy hunting!

I picked them up at that price a few weeks ago with CClub and thought it a great deal. Don't know how it could get much cheaper! Haven't put mine through the ringer yet but they've done the job and so far no complaints.

Was at Sears this morning and got both the SAE and Metric 8-piece stubby gearwrench sets for $29.95 each. Also found a 24" digital level on sale for $20 off.

Just got back from Sears and they did not have any flex stubbies, the guy told me they do not stock them. Picked up a set of metric stubbies for $27 with the April $5 coupon. Only complaint I have is I wish the largest size was a 19mm instead of a pretty much useless 18mm.

All sets must include the XL sets, no?

I want the XL double box wrenches so bad I can taste them.

 

[biggsean]

Here's what I scored at my local Sears:

44031: Dual box end metric set- $29.99
44281: XL x-beam metric set- $39.99
44033: Stubby SAE set- $29.99

They didn't have it in stock at my Sears, but I called a friend, and he was able to pick up a set of Metric half moon wrenches for me, model # 44008 ($64.99).

My metric collection is coming along quite well.

 

[PoorOwner]

44006: XL x-beam metric set- $39.99??
can't find on sears website.. in store only thing?

What sizes is in this one?

I didn't see it on the site either, but I saw a set on the wall, and checked the price at the register. Sure enough, it was half price!

It comes with 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 19.

 

[kythri]

Welp, I've added the SAE and Metric non-reversible non-offset GearWrenches to my collection. $59.98, minus $5.00 for the $5.00 off $25.00 or more Craftsman Club coupon (which supposedly was supposed to be off Craftsman tools only, pretty damned sweet!).

Not a bad deal.

Now I've got the Regular, the Reversibile Offsets, the Stubbies and the FlexHead GearWrenches, in SAE and Metric.

TONS of wrenches in my toolbox. Now I just need to use them more!

nice import friendly sizes! if you got a chance get a length comparison pic with the regular ?

WHOOPS, the model # is actually 44281, sorry about that. Doesn't appear as if that model # is on the site either. Guess you have to take a trip down there to see if it's physically in stock.

 

[Silver Bullet]

Christmas in April for me!! Just got back from Sears and picked up metric/SAE stubbys, flex heads, and the large metric. All for under $200. They were out of the large SAE but gave me a raincheck. I didn't quite need it all (already have the regular ones) but I just couldn't resist the 1/2 off prices. I didn't realize the X Beams were included or I might have picked them up too. Not sure I really need those though. Here's the loot:

 

[PoorOwner]

damn it you guys .. the pictures are too much
It's hard to write this but I have an urge to run to Sears, have to wait till after work

 

[kythri]

WTF? The large ones are on sale, too? I didn't see them at my store!

I'm gonna have to check the website!
