I used some Sears giftcards I got for Christmas to get the Craftsman Professional portable table saw (#21829). It's $430 this month with Craftsman Club. Unfortunately, it was out of stock everywhere and I had to order it. Hopefully it will be in tomorrow morning or Saturday at the latest. Can't...

I got a Ryobi bench grinder for $20 from them last Black Friday. Sweet deal considering I don't need a heavy duty version. Seems like HD has better BF deals than Lowes.

Is that for any reason? I mean, saws are expected to become dull over time. Anybody ever try to warranty a hand saw?

I just double checked. My wrench (44690) says "Forever Full Warranty" on the case. I believe I bought it in September 2007. Here it is on Sears web site. Edit: Just noticed it says "Guranteed forever" on the web site.

I have a Craftsman torque wrench that I bought a couple years ago for about $30 and it had the lifetime warranty logo on the box it came in. This is obviously not their top-of-the-line torque wrench (not electronic). I don't think ALL their torque wrenches are lifetime, but some are. I assume...

Agreed, Klein is the standard.

I love Sears--my shop is FULL of Craftsman tools. I go into Sears, get what I want, and then check out. Sure, the experience isn't perfect, but you can get annoyed at any store if you're wound too tight. I go for the tools, not the service. :)

It wouldn't work for this DIY'er. The kids would disorganize that system in a matter of minutes. :)

$10??? :bowdown:

My filter housing is also very hard to remove. The plastic wrench that came with it slipped and deformed so it's useless. My 12" tongue-and-groove pliers are a little small. I was thinking of getting some 16" Channellocks that only cost about $22 at Lowes. Hopefully they would be big enough.

That looks like a nice Proto set--looks to be in great shape. Nice work!

My Lowes (New Hudson, MI) has all their Nicholson files on Clearance. They are about 40% off or so. No replacements are out yet. Lots to choose from!

You hit the nail on the head. They are supposed to be packaged in a more eco-friendly way. Yeah, whatever. :pimpflash

Well, I've been watching the Kleins at the New Hudson, MI, store and today they had changed about 75% of their Klein stock from "New lower price" to "Clearance." Prices were reduced to 50-75% off. My guess is they didn't finish doing the markdowns and the rest will be marked down soon. I picked...

Looks like the bottom line is that you got the chest for less than half off retail. Can't beat that! :thumbup:
