Sears had their beam style torque wrenches half off in store on clearance. $12 for the 3/8 and $15 for the 1/2. One store had them marked, but the other didn't and I didn't have them price check since I was in a hurry.

Some of their insulated line is made in Sweden.

Yep, god forbid people get to just enjoy and share a great deal on tools, some greedy jackass has to come and buy out the entire deal. That's why I don't visit places like Slickdeals... there's absolutely no sense of community, it's all about ME! ME! ME! ME! ME!
Absolutely disgusting. If you want to run a resale business, then you should go pay your business licensing fees and taxes like everyone else. If not, go get a real job and stop being a pretend businessman.

LOL yeah, no kidding. I'm actually surprised you don't see more of that kind of thing on CL. Locally I only see it when there is a steal somewhere on a power tool.

So this set is not made in Germany as other people mentioned ?
Wiha plier set for $100 with wrap case, thats $12.50 a plier
plus you get a free cable cutter or other tools when you spend $100
Bringing it to $11.11 for a pair of pliers.
As an electrician with to sons in the trade we are always on look for plier deals. Got mine ordered yesterday.

I think its a very nice set and will last for many years. In for one....at $11-12/ea cant go wrong there.

I bought the 8" dikes over the holidays when they were having the sales. I think they said it was made in India. Either way they are really nice and I am glad I picked them up.

Hmm, I just did the plier set and added the free cutter. The site let me so I figured it was ok, but in hindsight I don't think their web cart is sophisticated enough to dis-allow any of that based upon total.
Will I not get the free cutter I wonder?

Websurfing found me Brown Aviation Tool Supply, which has a couple of good deals:
Stahlwille 1/2" surplus combo wrenches, $1.50 apiece
http://www.browntool.com/Default.as...ductName,ProductNumber&Level=a&ProductID=2672
and a set of 8 JH Williams combo SAE wrenches for $39.95 (mix of 6 and 12 point, satin finish)
http://www.browntool.com/Default.as...ductName,ProductNumber&Level=a&ProductID=2692
I ordered a Stahlwille and a set of the Williams, we'll see how they turn out.

No they have moved the raised panel production to China as well. It really just depends on if you just get a old stock kit as to what you get.

Went to Sears but no .97 sockets to be found.

I just went to Sears and they had a ton of .97 cent stuff left. I got one of every flex socket they had for .97 cent's as well as four 3/4" drive sockets for .97 cents each as well including one large 2 5/8" socket. The regional manager was there and said sometime next week they are going to be blowing out allot of tools for .97 and 1.97 each.

For those of you who haven't found the $.97 sockets - are you scanning them or just looking? Most of the stores near me haven't gotten around to marking anything but the clearance prices are still in the system.
Below is what I've found. These, afaik, were true at four different Sears stores in CT (Corbin's Corner, Meriden, Enfield, and Buckland Hills). Only Meriden had anything marked. The local Sears hardware (Bristol) had all of these and more on clearance too but the prices were all higher ($1.88 for regular sockets and $4.88 for flex, iirc).

I tried scanning some too (DOEs and stubbies), but didn't find anything really discounted other than the flare wrenches. A lot of the individuals (full polish and ratcheting) are locked to the rack though so I couldn't try those.

I managed to get some GearWrench ratcheting wrenches for $1.97 each. There were a few sizes, mostly larger SAE.

What sizes were you able to get? I didn't know that Sears sold gearwrenches individually.

They had a few other sizes marked down as well, but I either didn't need them or they were all gone.
This price was only at one Sears. The other I visited had not marked them down when I was there, and they didn't ring up marked down.
