I bought the Menards Channelock screwdrivers today. I knew they were made in China but still got them based on the features and some comments here in this forum.

These are the screwdrivers in this thread. There is USA in the handles.

I finally bought these screwdrivers today from Meijer (A chain store in the mid-west) for $6.99.

I also have many Channellock pliers and today I bought these made in China Screwdrivers (26 pieces). Hope they deserve the Channellock name and are backed up by the Channellock warranty.

The local Menards did not have this set but they have the 7 pc set at regular price. There is a single 1/4" x 8" square shank flat balde on clearance for $2 (regular $10). There is also a GreenLee 12" adjustable wrench for $10 (regular $20).

Menards 9" WISS Metal Snip, made in USA $4.99

Wish they put the metric on sale. Saw this SAE this morning but I hardly use SAE.

These are in store only. In my local Lowes, there are a couple big signs about this, one in the toolbox area and another in the isle near the plier sets. There are toolboxes there as well.

Also my local Lowes (ZIP 49307) has these DEWALT 12-Piece Magnetic Drive Guide Set for $10.97. They have a $10 off $50 coupon on them. The coupon should expire on OCT 2010 but Lowes will honor them. Must be some old stock they had in the back from last year...

This deal has come up before but Lowes has it again in the stores. Buy Kobalt 26" Blue/Gray Polypropylene Tool Box for $29.98 http://www.lowes.com/pd_236554-1156-9126SR_0__?storeId=10151&Ntt=26%22+toolbox&UserSearch=26%22+toolbox&productId=3294564&N=0&catalogId=10051&langId=-1 Get Kobalt...

Now the link to the Shoplet set changed to the Amazon set, priced at $169.68. On the Shoplet Amazon Storefront, the item is still there for the low price but it is not available.

Mine (with Shoplet) is still live but I assume they will cancel soon.

I also ordered one set from Shoplet and the status very quickly changed to "Shipping Soon". That means it cannot be canceled. If they ship something other than the sockets, I am sure Amazon will take care of the problem. Thank you, usdemt, for the find.

Blue Point makes a nicer one, FTW 936. It is all metal and called Rapid Ratchet.
