There seems to be a bit of a ebb and flow to Canadian Tire's logic. I've seen this happen in the past and then they go right back to the large discounts. If it's not desperate, just wait, and if it is, check marketplace - there's a lot of people selling for cheap right now.

MAXIMUM Ratchet Set, 90-Tooth, 3-pc $59.99 - Not the absolute cheapest it's been, but close ($49.99 at one point). I've had this set for a few years and it works well. One upside and downside is that it holds the socket quite securely, but this may wear to a comfortable medium as the ratchet...

And ordered 1 of 2 left.

I share the same sentiment, I'd be in for a few if that's the case :) I do truly enjoy watching the comparisons of flashlights on Torque Test Channel.

The speed was going to be something I mentioned, but with a smaller disc it's unlikely that you'd lose as much speed when working with it. I'd download the manual and have a look to see if there's any explicit mention of *not* using smaller discs for some reason. You might also run into some...

Could have sworn the CDN Tire stuff was cheaper but I checked and it seems to be the full synthetic is $25/L (iso 46) and non-synthetic (SAE 30 ISO 100) is $20/L, but I don't see a synthetic blend.

Haha, was about to post this - I made an order today for some things that were out of stock in-store and some smaller items. Some good clearance scattered through the categories (and surprisingly quite a bit of powerfist stuff that seems like staple product.)

As a follow up to this, I have had an older inch-lb Maximum for near a decade and works great, calibration is still on. The digital 3/8" Maximum I picked up on the other hand is dead just outside the 1 year I had it. Going to see if I can fix/get it fixed but utterly unimpressed by it.

Looks like the 1/4 is already out of stock and not in any store's near me. Going to order the 3/8 and 1/2 then see if the 1/4 shows up again and do your trick @Bmxkelowna

I've got 2 Bosch's as well, and agreed on them being a bit of a standard bearer. You'll usually lose it before you break it.

Haha, so...just after posting this I found a random Home Hardware (https://lacretehomehardware.ca/milwaukee-2727-21hd-chainsaw-kit) that had the kit for 549.99 and Home depot BC somehow matched (and beat!) The price by going through self-checkoutt so I got it for. 495 + tax. Although I know...

This seems like the regular price elsewhere. Can't currently see any deals on them. I think Edmonton fasteners has a buy 2 Milwaukee products and get 7% off, but have a look. As a secondary - you guys see any deals on the 2727-21HD (Chainsaw Kit) lately ? Any flyers that might not be online ...

Picked these up last year, and they are a great deal for sure. CDN Tire @ the time had them @ $50 as I think a new product intro type thing. They went off sale and on sale again 1 more time and then haven't seen them near as low until you pointed them out. I think Reg Price (at that time was...

Follow-up: COO is Taiwan, will be discussing with Amazon (also about some damage to case). Good thing is that they are indeed still Proto level quality. Great chrome, finishing and ridiculous heft.

and definitely missed this - damn. Had 2 in my cart and gone - link doesn't even work now it looks like I'll be honest - this scares me a little, haha. Ended up buying this as I am also a sucker for Proto - interesting that it says that COO is US, but a review said it came as Taiwan - I'll...
