    2018 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    Not true at all. The T&C (Terms & Conditions) have no such clause, and even if it did, it would be illegal to enforce as they are subject to each states consumer protection laws, almost all of which say if they shipped it and charged the card, they accepted the order and are obligated to take...

    2017 HD deals/sales/clearance thread

    It is at my store! It goes like this off my memory: I am empowered: 1) To be friendly and helpful to all customers. 2) To walk a customer to a product (not point). 3) To always stop what I am doing to help a customer. 4) To make sure nobody beats a HD price or I will beat it by 10%. 5) To offer...

    Fine Home Building magazine $9.99/year

    That is correct- I DID NOT CLICK DISCOUNT LOCK- but the terms of the price offered, in the fine print nobody reads, states you agree to such. So even if you don’t click the box, the terms say you do and that is what they hung their hat on. I bought direct from the third party: Discount Mags...

    Fine Home Building magazine $9.99/year

    For those who missed out- rejoice! For those who got it- be warned! I just finished a nightmare FOURTEEN MONTH month fight with this company. They claim they do not "auto- renew" unless you selected the "Discount Lock." When you sign-up, there is a box that makes it look like you are...

    DeWalt 10" Sliding Miter (DW717) $350 shipped

    Is the XPS a good system and worth a few bucks? YES! Is it worth the $250 additional price tag? NO! If you want a line, is the Dewalt XPS the best thing out there? I am going to say when it comes to miter saws, it is dead accurate and idiot proof. I won't bore you with details, but a laser...

    Planer Suggestions

    Popular Mechanics just looked at a large group in December. Their best pick- the Rigid. The next best- Dewalt 734. The full print article is a little "beefier" but you can see a summary here: http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/reviews/a24491/best-entry-level-planers/ Fine...

    Question for all you woodworkers

    Some folks have tried to give you real advice, that is being ignored by many (quick lock is only used on engineered floors- tongue and grove is only used on solid wood). That aside- there are some other fatal flaws nobody mentions. Before wasting time, money and ruing good wood, consider this...

    2017 HD deals/sales/clearance thread

    You assume it will sit there until it pennies out. "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" And for many, a two hour round trip to save $100 may not be worth it to some when you factor in gas and lost time on a treasure hunt for something that may not exist when they get there. To go 30...

    Costco Snap-on LED work light

    The sale price which included and "instant rebate" ended at close of business on 12/26/16. The regular sale price of $29.99 became effective at the start of business on 12/27/16. If you missed the deal, you are out of luck for now. They were trying to clear the stock down to one display...

    Channel lock Gearless ratchet kit$9.91 at Sam's club

    I use the Sams "Scan and Go" app on my phone that lets you scan items and pay for them without ever waiting in line and stopping at the cashier. You go right to the door where the associate scans a bar code that comes up on your phone. Somebody forgot to change the sign. So either use the...
