Did Pepboys and also claimed for the free gloves and hat. So far the two $12 checks arrived (took a week). Will have to see about the hat and gloves.

Wow, so potentially I can buy the Pep Boys $35 deal for mobil1 oil and mobil1 filter, get a $15 rebate (claim online) & a free t'shirt ...?? I'll be going to PepBoys tomorrow:)

Finally got the new cord, crimps and spare plastic safety buttons. All installed and works fine.

I like free tools ..

Previously, it has been stated that people have successfully purchased the oil at WalMart and filters from Amazon, and gotten the full $15 rebate. I will most likely do that this time, or just buy it all at Amazon to save the hassle.

1) Walmart worked for me last time (April-ish time). 2) Limit last time was two per address, so I bought two 5qt's on one receipt and two on another. See 3) 3) I did two forms under two names to two different addresses So I bought four 5qt's in total, and got $48 back in total. Walmart didnt...

I've ordered one. Seems very odd that it's a separate little plastic bit and no label etc. oh well, should be running next week. The saw I've been given belonged to a contractor who had to give it up due to health issues ten years ago. It's sat under a tarp for the past five or ten years, so...

Okay, so I found out that there is a 'key' that activates this gold part (should have read the manual earlier). Question: Are these generic, so I can just buy a ''Makita key'' or are there many options here? There's just a round hole in the side of the saw and then a rout part that's actuated.

I was given a used Makita 2708 table saw like the one pictured. It needs some work, but as they're listed for $200+ on eBay, I figure it's worthwhile investing some time and money into it, and upgrading from my cheap Craftsman (like the one pictured below). Now I know I need to get a new...

Concord CA store - No batteries, no inflators, no LED lights, no right angle driver. I bought a sander, and don't think anything else was on closeout. They had the $110 impact driver / drill kit, but I wasn't sure if that was on clearance. I really wanted a couple of batteries and the...

Note, this set used to be Taiwan made, and now most of the stock is China. Is it less reliable or anything, who knows ... ? Is it cheaper for Gear Wrench to get it from China? Almost certainly. I got a Taiwan set just under two years ago for the same $50 on special at Sears, down from $100...

These ones are pretty good, and I would put them as comparable to a $40 set from a more established brand. All my less used screwdrivers are doubles/triples, and what I'm suggesting here would be to expand the set, not to add doubles. I also would happily pay more. Currently special, it's $1 a...

Thanks, just looked at the Bolstered Set, and they look pretty good. Still doesn't solve my 'issue' of wanting a big set of all 'reasonable' sizes. I know at this price point I shouldn't expect to be able to get every size (like with Craftsman Pro), but I would just so much prefer all my...

I too love my deadblow hammer ... but after 8 or 9 months, it still stinks out my tool box with that curing plastic HF smell. It seems so wrong that the thing I don't like about a tool is it's smell ... my other tools have no smell ...
