Irwin (NWS) 8-in Diagonal Cutting Plier
Item # 638073 Model # 1926025

Now $17.99.

 

[gamp945]

Reminder that lots of Goldblatt branded items (drywall tools) are on clearance. Really cheap prices for lots of this stuff right now - many less than $1.

Also some Goldblatt utility knives might be less than a buck for you - check your store's price:

6-inch (was $8.98)

7-inch (was $11.48)

Nice find...looks like original price was $29.98 and has just gone on clearance.

Yeah. I went to grab another pair of 90 degree needle nose and lineman (since I skipped lineman last time) and guess what... all lineman were gone in that store, two needle nose (I grabbed one, left one for whoever the last lucky person in town will be, we have 3 lowe's and this store is the only one that has them on clearance, I know, I checked the website), and saw this diagonal pliers, the only one in this store, so being greed a$$hole that I am, I bought the diagonal too.

Another store in town has 13 diagonal pliers so this is not the end of the road.

I am going to pick up last one lineman that is in town tomorrow morning, 6 am. The lowe's that has it is on the way to work so I am going to leave early and be at the store as they open.

I stopped by 4 local Lowe's stores yesterday looking for some of these clearance deals. Found several sets of these pliers, all priced $29.98, so I passed. Did not find any of the linesman's pliers or the angled needle nose, though a couple of stores showed stock online.

I did find a few long shank ball-end allen sockets for ~$1.25-2.48 each, picked up a few of those for spares.


One store had a bunch of wire brush drill attachments on clearance, both single pack and a blister pack with like 7-8 of them for ~$10, bought one of those too.

Might have to go out of your local area as you search online for the Lowes that has diagonal cutter for $17.99

 

[drwheels]

All kinds of Stanley door hinges $1 each.

yeah I always look online before heading out. (although sometimes pricing online doesn't reflect what's in the store...

 

[dkroth]

Frustrated.

Twice I've jumped on the Irwin sale in the ~$10 range only to have orders cancelled because various stores in the area are out of stock despite the inventory on line.

Grrr.

 

[gregaz]

I've seen the $17.99 cutters in multiple quantities in every single Lowe's I went to in Phoenix area. The $9.99 and $10.74 IRWIN's are harder to find.

 

[Thirdyfivepickup]

there's a Lowes on the South side of Chicago on 83rd and Steward St that has 3 of the Linesman pliers at $10.74 but I'm not so sure on the neighborhood...

Of course my local Lowes had 6 and couldn't find any... conveniently.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER order online.
You find out online where stuff is, then you go to the store IN PERSON and buy it.

Depends on the store. I got mine I ordered online.

 

[GM_tc]

I ordered 4 of the lineman pliers for $8.06 online and will pick them up tomorrow morning, same store has the angled pliers still at full price though and checked again tonight and now no local stores have them available for pickup shipping only

I almost always order online. How else would you be able to use promotion codes. If the store cancels my order, then I usually make a trip and ultimately find the item myself. If the deal is really good, but is at a store that is far away, I would rather have the assurance and take the risk online, as opposed to doing what your suggesting.

The neighborhood is very bad. Used to be my favorite go to store. Not anymore.

Picked up a pair today. They had pulled them all off the pegs and were in the overhead storage area. Fortunately the guy who is in charge of stocking the tool area was in today and knew where to look for them. So if your local store is showing some in stock, but they're not on the shelf, just ask someone to look in the overhead storage. Looks like Lowe's has taken them off of the planogram so they may have just been shoved out of the way.

Still waiting for the 90 degree pliers to come down from $30 around here.

 

[septemberblue15]

Mistake sorry

Online works great for me as long as inventory >1. If they can't fill the order I typically get a phone call.

Yeah it's a gamble... Especially for small items when there are only a few left in inventory it's a toss-up if it really exists or not...

My luck with online ordering has been mixed... I doubt the employees at my store hide them for themselves, they are mostly retired folk. I think they are just too old and tired to want to haul them down from the rafters...

what was left was 75% off at my good store.

 

[posaune]

I went to pick up the angled Irwin/NWS pliers (<$10) and happened upon a digital 3/8 torque wrench for $31. Reviews aren't great, mostly because it has no indication of reaching a specific torque (?!?) but it's a $30 torque wrench if you are in need.


Kobalt 3/8-in Drive Electronic 20-ft-lbs to 100-ft-lbs Torque Wrench
Item # 747422 Model # 87342

Apparently they had a 1/2" drive one too at $25, but it wasn't there when I was.

Sometimes ordering online is the only way to get it, particularly when stock counts are low.

If you order online and they can't find it or don't have it, they call to ask to cancel the order. If you say "no", they will find it at another store, order it for you online, or substitute a better product.

So in my experience it's best to order online, and also less expensive since you can use a coupon code.

Is this true? I've had 4 orders lost to stock issues that other stores within 10 miles had the stuff in stock just not at that price.

In store when I went to find the product customer service basically said "stock count is off and the part is discontinued. Sorry we can't do anything for you."

Someone posted this Stanley jab saw recently:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Stanley-FatMax-Jab-Saw/1207119

About $2 near me.

I got one and was surprised it is made in France, not China. Looks like a nice saw. Check your store.

Also got the Irwin saw:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/IRWIN-Marathon-Carpenter-Saw/1069859

About $2 near me.

Previous poster stated that the handle is made in Italy and the blade in Denmark, but mine is handle China and blade Denmark. Nice saw.

Check your store for Sylvania Lightify connected LED lighting. This is the stuff that connects to your phone and allows you to dim and change color temperature. There is quite a variety of items available - rope lighting, tape lighting, under cabinet lighting, various bulbs. Not all of it is shown on the website. Lots available at 75% off or more. For example:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/SYLVANIA-L...m-White-PAR38-LED-Flood-Light-Bulb/1000083149
https://www.lowes.com/pd/SYLVANIA-L...Spectrum-BR30-LED-Flood-Light-Bulb/1000083117

https://www.lowes.com/pd/SYLVANIA-LIGHTIFY-24-in-Hardwired-Under-Cabinet-LED-Light-Bar/1000128433

I personally can't be bothered to use a phone to dim a light so I'm not buying!

Keep an eye on these Dewalt 5-packs of circular saw blades:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-5-Pack-7-1-4-in-18-Tooth-Tooth-Carbide-Circular-Saw-Blades/3223583

Looks like they're about $20 right now (down from $33), but could be a good deal soon if the price keeps dropping.

Yes, when they call, if you answer they need your permission to cancel the order. You can always ask to speak to the manager, they usually will just do it then, managers don't seem to like to talk to customers and will avoid it at all costs. It helps to have a substitution in mind, so when they call and ask to cancel, I usually say something like "I'm not comfortable cancelling the order. Will you need to get it from another store, order one in, or would it be easier to substitute <sku number>?"

If they call and get voice mail, they can cancel it and just leave you a message.

It helps to be a regular customer and order online enough that the CS staff know you by name and sight. There is one CS person at my local store who regularly fills my orders. Even if someone cancelled an order she will take care of it if I go in and talk with her.

If you want to discuss this further, lets move to the discussion thread.

I tried this the last time Lowes called to cancel an order...the rude girl said "well, I already cancelled it. I'm just calling to tell you it's cancelled".

I found this last night on Slick Deals and today is the last day. My current garage door opener is chain and is 17 years old. I replaced the other side last year so I pulled the trigger on this one which seems like a Hot Deal.
It didn't ring up sale price however I showed the checkout person this screenshot I took and got it for $138 - my military discount. Just another reason I enjoy shopping at Lowes.

 

[tyme2par4]

I picked one of those up last night. Used a $20 off coupon too. It's showing up full price near me now, or else I would have posted it this morning.
I also just picked up the non Wifi version at HD on clearance last week. Now I have to decide what to do with the one I don't use. (I replaced one broken opener when I bought the house 2 years ago).

 

[logan_gibson]

Not sure if these have been posted or not. Decent deals, the hacksaw is $18 at my local lowes.

[lakelandcat]

OK, maybe this has been brought up before (sorry!)

But what's the deal with the yellow tags marked "new lower price" vs "clearance". I think the "new lower price" tags are a newish development, whereas previously there was only "clearance" tags?

It seems like the "new lower price" tags are meant to show permanent price drops on various items, whereas "clearance" tags are meant to show, well, clearance pricing for discontinued products.

The fact that both types of tags are nearly-identical looking (yellow) makes it seem like certain items (like the porter-cable item posted above) are a special deal when in fact it is the current regular price. It also makes it harder to identify actual clearance items in the store.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Most of the time the "new lower price" means that they are matching a competitors price, sale,or they are getting ready to go Non Stock, which is one step before "Clearance". They also have different levels of clearance, first is 25%, 2nd week would be 50%, 75% and finally 90%. Most of the time it never goes to 90% because they will sell in bulk to one person who comes in an buys the good and the bad. Sometimes you can get lucky and make a deal with a mang. Remember employees also know about the clearance prices

...for you. My store has it for 28% off, making it ~$215. I would recommend adding the price you saw it for, as the price can vary store to store. That way we know the lowest it might be available for.

It's garbage, don't bother.

 

[Dirtydan69]

I know this is the deals thread but has anyone seen this at their local Lowes? This is in Queen Creek AZ. All the drawers have individual pieces. Wrenches, sockets etc.
