It's too bad they eliminated the 20% off coupons, and the free item with purchase coupons. From now on, I'll be stopping at Home Depot, or one of the other home supply stores first.

Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ The home depot deals thread should be abolished. There is too much discussion about those bogus penny deals, and people devising ways to scam home depot by returning items at one price, then repurchasing the item at a lower price, etc. I...

Thank you very much leftyz. Your database is the best thing that has ever come out of this forum!

Let the buyer beware with this set. I purchased this set tonight, as I had a 3/16" cap screw that I had to access on an angle. The 3/16" ball hex bit socket would not enter the screw on an angle, but only straight on. And when I tried to install the screw, after placing it on the ball end, It...

I have had good luck with the dollar store, when it comes to reading glasses. The store by me has them with metal frames, that seem to fit and hold up OK.

I looked at used Snap on boxes in my area, and for my usage, I just couldn't see the value for the money. I bought a 56" harbor freight box, and it has proven quite useful for me. A little while later, I finally decided to replace my 35 - 40 year old Craftsman boxes, and bought a Harbor freight...

Bought a couple of these 16 slot wrench racks, (item #62850). I would rate them a pass. The wrenches kinda "snap" into place, and the racks helped to organize my drawer.

I bought a pair of the 12" bolt cutters, (item #60677). I would rate them a pass. I have been cutting a variety of thicknesses of wire, from "9" wire, down to 16 gauge, and no problem yet. Usually with bolt cutters, you will have trouble with bad ones right off the bat, but these are holding up...

I feel that there is more to the sears warranty than meets the eye. Usually when I go there to exchange a tool, I wind up buying something else also....Hmmm.

I don't know if this qualifies for this thread, so apologies in advance if this is off-topic. I have had great luck with Channel Lock pliers. Specifically the 350s model. In my opinion, they are better than Klein's. I purchase them at Lowes.

I had the Milwaukee, and i agree, it is poorly designed. It is setup so that you have to put the tip of the tape under the object being measured, in order for the magnet to "grab". They made a tape before this model, that actually had the magnets positioned so they would work, but for some...

Yes, they had a 1/32 scale (Revel I think?) slot car track, complete with big bank curve. I think it came with a Mustang and a Camaro. I can't remember if it had 17' of track, or if it was 17' long, all set up. And now that I think about it, I still have mine. It must be well over 40 years old!

A couple of other things that I remember. It seemed like sears would put on sales for mufflers, etc in their automotive departments, but yet you would always get charged for "extra" parts and services that the mechanic said you needed. They would go so far as to state that these "extras" were...

I think that the mid 70's started the beginning of the decline for sears. I remember back then was when they started to get picky about honoring their lifetime tool guarantee. At least at the store in Joliet, it was like pulling teeth, dealing with the tool department. They would act like they...

Seemed like those penny deals were all bogus in this area. The store employees that I had talked to, said that they didn't exist. Better off with a thread describing deals that you could actually receive.
