"Free" Irwin T&G pliers

[dakotart1984]

Saw a bunch of USA made channellocks in the bin at mine as well, I inquired about trading in the "New" irwins and they said they could only trade for another pair of "new" ones. I could have just kept placing all the chinese made irwins in the box as a seemingly endless cycle.

The display at Lowe's in Mansfield/Ontario, Ohio is gone.

Just had the painful experience trading in my Robo Grip pliers. I was the first one at this store so everybody needed to learn to process

was this the lowes off Golf & arlington hts rd? if so there idiots there anyways and the the ****'y looking 40-50's lady at customer service is a PITA when trying to get clearance price matched etc

You can pick up a pair of pliers from our dollar store for $1 and Lowe's is right behind it.

whats the difference between dollar store and kobalt pliers realy?

If I was working there and was assigned the job to haul them out to the dumpster, I'd be cherry picking the rejects.

or have a garage sale... people buy anything if its cheap enough and the cost to you is nothing

Farmington NM still have them

Picked up a pair today. I traded in a koren made mid size linesmens with damaged teeth. I asked did it have to a similar type, she said yes the management would check. Then I pointed out a pair of S/J and LT handed tin snips in the box. When she saw mine she said (those are fine, it looks like you spent good money for those). I love how no two stores are the same.

I love how no two stores are the same.

How true! I asked. My local Lowes allowed me to trade 2 $1.00 s/j pliers from Dollar General for 2 of the Irwins. Guy at customer service counter said "Sure" and put the Irwins in a bag. Didn't look like he did anything on the register at all.

There is no Irwin T&G plier display at the San Francisco Lowes. Are there Irwin T&G plier displays at the South San Francisco or Daly City Lowes?

Rocky River, (CLE) Ohio has it (says on box until 9/30). They did punch in a reciept. Irwin display was almost hidden by contractors exit (after point of sale) so I'm sure most people miss it!

Pro Supervisor wouldn't allow a swap of junk for junk even though she understood what I was saying.

I got lucky that I got my 2 Channellocks and 1 (US-made) Vise-Grips a few days ago. After that, people from another shift wouldn't let me do it. I don't know why it matters to them.

Speaking of CLE the displays on Miles rd and Ridge rd are now empty.

Another day....another pair

My junkyard toolbox is looking better

My Lowes stil Had the display in front of the contractors desk. One new was gone and one old tool in the box.

Total tally now that this promotion is over: I saved 4 US-made Channellocks and 1 US-made Vise-Grip locking pliers from the scrap pile. And I got rid of 6 or so Dollar Tree-type of crappy locking pliers.

Thanks to OP for pointing out this deal.

I trade a pair of crappy jesse james pliers today. They still had two pair left.
