Somehow, I got 4% off from befrugal in addition to the 25% off for over $400 with the Heroes codes a couple of weeks ago. My previous attempt with befrugal was initially showing good but was then cancelled a day or two later, when combined with a 20% off code. It seems it may make sense to try...

Thanks for posting this. I used it yesterday and saved over $200 on an order I've been holding off on. I just got the email today and it doesn't even mention the 25% discount.

Feb 5th was the last time I received a 25% code as well. Prior to that, it was at least once a month. In fact I see 25% codes on Jan 2, Dec 19, Dec 13, Nov 27, and Nov 7. Sometimes I have received codes for 25% off for specific categories, but the ones listed only had minimum purchases of $125...

Anyone have a feel for how often or when they run the 25% off specials? Maybe Father's day? Trying to decide if it's worth waiting.

May want to check Zoro for these. They don't seem to sell that model but they sell other models and the 20% off coupon can make them the cheapest place to buy. I just paid $132 for a 5 gallon model where we just needed something to use indoors for parts dusting. Half the noise of our previous...

You can get an extra 4.4% off by going through topcashback.com. At 34.4% off there are probably some deals there.

$5.00 for shipping makes it not so great if you're only buying one pair. The Knipex drew me in and I ended up spending $140 for a car cover, water bags for my winter pool cover, an external hard drive, and a supplemental battery for my Samsung S3. $5 shipping for everything.

Before you buy anything, make sure you pick it up and make sure it is comfortable in your hand. I had a Bosch (if I remember right) that had a blade guard that would hit my middle knuckle every time I used it just from normal use. It was either a bad design or my hands are too big. I don't use...

Menards sells one that looks identical but has wheels which seem a little pointless because they are up at the top so it is difficult to use the wheels with the saw mounted. Good for rolling the stand empty, though. I mounted the 12" Hitachi miter saw with no problem. No drilling necessary.

I bought the same saw about a month ago. I like it a lot. The laser works amazingly well. My only complaint is with the clamp which is okay but finicky to adjust and a minor pain if you have to move it from one side to the other. Someone must do a better miter saw clamp. Too bad it won't fit...

I've been doing some woodworking projects lately and the Crescent clamps have impressed me more than the Irwin Quickgrips. They are significantly cheaper and are easier to adjust and clamp very well. They are short, only 12", but sometimes a longer clamp gets in the way. Menards had the...

After I placed an order earlier today, I thought of a couple more things I could use. I paid with paypal earlier and was able to use the promo code on the second order paid with paypal as well.

I picked up a few things last night that were on sale and made better by the bag sale. Meguiars Car Care Kit Reg $29.99, sale price $17.99, $15.29 bag price http://www.menards.com/main/p-2425914-c-13917.htm Crescent 12" bar clamps Reg $29.99, sale price $14.99, $12.74 bag price...

The idea that you should fully discharge a lithium ion battery is completely false. More frequent charging and avoiding full discharge will give longer life. They do lose capacity over time if you use them at all. The useful life number of discharge/ recharge cycles is 300-500 if fully...

I placed an order this morning for local pickup for several levels and a small socket set that were all on sale. I just received a call an hour later telling me that they don't have any of the items. One of the items says quantity 5 in stock. Another order I placed a couple of days ago for the...
