You underestimate the value of inertia in a brand name. The kind of people who frequent discussion boards talking about tools lost the goodwill long ago. That only represents 5-10% of the market. The remaining 90-95% of the market really doesn't know that much or keep up with it. They know...

I got three of these marked down to $1 at my local shop today. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-Magnetic-1-4-in-Slotted-Screwdriver/50158901

My bread and butter for many years in the Army was fixing stuff in the field and anywhere needed. For working on gravel roads and anywhere else one of the military closed cell sleeping mats is great. Lays out flat, padded enough to not be uncomfortable, quick and easy.

Put the engine on a furniture dolly, for $20 they work perfect.

Yes and no. If I am going to drop money on a premium product at a premium price, where I need to depend on the one salesman for warranty service, if my gut tells me he is a rude ******* who doesn't value my business then I am not going to have any confidence in him providing good service when I...

Thanks to the heads up here I looked and saw my store said 2 in stock at $199. Had to hunt them down in the store but they were $119 at the register.

Saw these on the clearance rack and grabbed a pack, price wasn’t marked but rank up $9.99. UPC/SKU May be different on pack than website but seems identical. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/jobsmart-3-8-in-x-50-ft-pvc-air-hose-pack-of-3?cm_vc=-10005

Hmm, suddenly nothing is available to ship to store to the local K-Mart, and now it doesn't even show in the options or list of stores to check if an item is in stock. I guess that means its days are numbered.

I just scored the black one for $1.80 after points and freecash offer, and it was in stock at the Hometwon store here.

For that money I will toss some glue in the handles and throw them in the tractor tool boxes.

I just got an email to call them about a billing issue, the credit card I used expired between then and now. so I guess when I call tomorrow mine should be on the way with any luck.

Well, looks like my closest real Sears in Asheville is closing. That writing has been on the wall for a while now, but they announced liquidation will start next week. That will leave my closest real Sears about a 3.5 hour round trip. Luckily we have a Hometwon store still. That said it was in...

Out of curiosity, when you do the animation you always see the gift, I assume that is the main prize, the $ that gets you points, sometimes the word "points" and the "?". What in the world is the "?" for? A mystery prize? I have tried running the animation on every roll for days straight to...

Thanks folks, lots of good ideas here!
