Only one store in the Hudson Valley has the 6800 watt Ridgid generator on clearance and they're sold out. The closest store, which is about 10 miles away from the other, still had it for $1000 and wouldn't price match. So frustrating.
I bought a 4inch Irwin vise from Lowes for about $20 and it does the job just fine. I don't know what you are drilling but I needed something to hold bolts and nuts to drill holes for safety wire and it's worked well for the last year I've had it.
Same here but with the $15off$50 coupon, it'll be $56 (which makes it tempting). I'm not going to be building anything until the end of summer, though, so I'm not sure if I'll jump on it. There are only 2 left in the area...
I was in the Fishkill, NY store and had them lookup the miter saw. Their inventory checker said they had 1 in stock but myself and 2 hardware employees couldn't find it anywhere. If someone tries and has better luck, kudos to you.
I started a few years ago with Dewalt but had issues with defective drills and impacts. I switched to Makita and was happy until the SO bought me a Milwaukee kit for Christmas. Now I'm continuously building my M12 and M18 collection and haven't looked back.
Well, picked up the DWS782 for $170 after tax using a HF coupon. I was eyeing the C12RSH but couldn't pass up this deal. For anyone in the area, the Fishkill, NY store had one left.
Re: Rick's Audi Double
All of the little details are pretty incredible. After I'm done renovating the laundry room, the garage is next and you've definitely inspired me. Subscribed.
For his home shop, I would buy the set that was closest to his house. That way, if he ever needed the warranty, it's more convenient. What about Kobalt? There's a deal at Lowe's that might be enticing: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=277246
It depends on what you're buying. I bought it so they would take the 25% coupon and the $299 coupon in the motorcycle lift. That alone was worth it. They also mentioned that if I bought anything usually excluded from the 20% or 25% off coupons I'd be able to use it because of being an ITC...
There's a store near me that has it, but they won't match their website so it's $159. And, of course, it's the one store that won't honor the HF 20% coupon either.
Yeah, my local store will price match their website on some days, other days they won't. Some days they'll take the harbor freight 20% off coupon, other days they won't. It's like no one communicates anything, ever.
