Reese Hitches & Balls at Menards ~66% off

[Farmall450]

Hitches are 1/3 original cost. Balls are a few bucks off. Guess they're switching suppliers?

Some hitches are more like 50% off.

Not sure if that's an improvement or not.

I picked up an LED trailer light kit there yesterday. $30 marked down from $50. Pretty much anything Reese was discounted.

In the towing section today, I scored a pair of 20' x 2" tow straps. 10,000 pound capacity. $2.99 each after rebate.

Thought Curt was foreign too.

I saw those, in the little bags.

Eau Claire is also home to Menards, so not a particularly huge surprise.

Curt probably makes hitches there and most things like balls/etc. elsewhere.

Around 80 percent of our product is made here

One of the main reasons im doing more and more shopping at Menards is their continual effort to source US products

I especially like that they have Made in USA sales, which not only provides decent deals on quality products but also makes people aware of items a that are made here that you typically wouldn't think of.

Sounds like I need to make a trip to Menards to scope out their hitch stuff!

Agreed, though Farm & Fleet across the road still is my favorite!

Those are the best!
And yeah, you do.

Is this a pack of two? Seems very very cheap at $4.50 each then.

Doubt it... some of the product imports have the container text on them for some reason. You'll get a single drop.

No, I bought that one. 8.99 for one.

EDIT: Look at the specs.

Package Contents: One Class III / IV Standard Ball Mount

Thanks, I was expecting one, but the description is very misleading when it says 2 pack. I do need a second, but the orders already in, so will grab another somewhere else I guess.

Yeah, that's kinda strange...

I also like the made in USA sales. I just wish they wouldn't run the almost free after rebate Chinese junk and junk tool sale the next week it kinda defeats the purpose.

 

[ishiboo]

The new trailering stuff is out.

Generic brand (perhaps Menards), all Made in China garbage.

The prices are quite high… two pieces of reflective tape for 8 bucks?

Shoulda kept the Reese.

Router bits went from Bosch/Bosch Vermont to CMT Made in Italy… not sure if that's an improvement?

 

[airfehr]

Agreed, very disappointing indeed

 

[ATC]

Dang...I really wish we had a Menards around here

Quite a bit of their free after rebate junk is actually USA-made junk. Not all of it of course, but I've been surprised.





As for the hitches, they did have some great deals. I bought several hitch pins for around $1/each. I have a habit of misplacing those, so the more the merrier! The hitches were good prices too, but I find a lot of those used and dirt cheap at sales.

Menards in Racine , Wisconsin had the REESE LED trailer square brake/tail lights on clearance too. Bought them for $ 13.00 each.

 

[ford33]

Thanks for posting Farmall450. I lent my hitch mount and ball to someone and never got it back. I needed one. Menards offered on clearance a forged Reese 2 inch drop mount for $22. Normally $35. The thing weighs 13 lbs and is a solid, not welded, forged steel hitch mount. I pick it up at the store on Saturday.

Yeah, someone said it's curt but it's el cheapo
