My HD has these out with all the annual holiday/Black Friday cardboard displays, which are already setup in the main aisle and temporary area. I'm sure some deals are still being held back, but most of it is up a few days earlier than normal for my closest store.

A local tool closeout store had 8 piece sets of the French Expert drivers for $15. Needless to say, I possess multiple sets, and I really like them. From the same store, I also managed to piece together a fairly complete set of Witte drivers rebranded as Lawson. I like those too.

The 3.0 M12 twin pack was not the promo one on sale last week with the add on tools for $99. I got the discounted $70 3.0 pack on the 1st or 2nd since the promo was already sold out around town. I'd be surprised if the M18 promo battery pack was discounted yet.

Tuesday night I noticed this was down to $70 at my local store. Unfortunately they and the other 3 local stores were all out of the promo m12 starter pack so it had to be my consolation prize. For those wondering about the string trimmer, it has plenty of power. I'm happy I have it and don't...

Believe everyone that suggested the oscillating multi-tool. I've used jamb saws, Japanese pull saws and probably some other type saws over the years. I nailed down about 700 sq ft of 3/4 solid oak a few years ago and used the multi-tool. The cuts come out perfect using a piece of scrap to ride...

I almost picked up that combo up at Christmas for $99, but I have a Bostich and a PC 18ga, plus one of the kids let me know a Hatachi pin nailer was under the tree. The reviews for the Ridgid 23ga seemed OK to me.

I've been wondering about this box too as I noticed the price and quantity increase. I picked up a black 41" Kobalt 3000 series top box cheap and this one will make a nice mate. If HD "leaked" their BF ad, I could go ahead and pick up a gift card at Kroger and get the 4x fuel points this week...

This works against them in my house. I've usually made up my mind by Monday or Tuesday based on the leaked ads, and it's been Cabelas for me the last few years. If I'm going to spend $400-$500 on BF, I get gift cards at Kroger and wind up saving $70 in gas purchases because of 4X fuel points...

Saw that sign on an empty Estwing Ax rack. There were a few more empty racks without signs, so something was cleared out of those. The Estwing 25 oz. California Framing Hammer was down to 14.00. The 24 oz. Solid Steel Ball-Peen Hammer was around $23+ IIRC. This is about 20% off, and there...

My daughter recently toured the Center for Manufacturing Excellence at the University of Mississippi where red Milwaukee products were everywhere. I noticed a very large display board in the hall filled with Sawzall and Hole Saw blades. A prominent sign said "Made in Mississippi". Come to find...

Item # 963177 Model # EC28M Hitachi 1-Gallon Portable Electric Horizontal Air Compressor Got one for $37.** this morning, along with the $11.49 posthole diggers. It was located on he Hitachi end cap.

The R3 displays, along with everything else, were out in Alabama on Wednesday. Two Milwaukee 25' tape measures for $29.9X in a new display, but the old 25/16 combos are marked down to $14.00.

The Sears Max Axess are pretty much indistinguishable (well, except for the markings) from these Taiwan long pattern full polish NAPA professional wrenches you can still get at Cripe (I have both NAPA and CM). I compared the NAPA with the matching Craftsman sizes and they sure look to be forged...

Loud speaker: "Clean up at the pro desk." :bounce:

:mad: Most items in 77Ford's picture were never on the shelves around here.
