Hi all. I am a cultures stone noob doing a small 80 sq ft project, (front of my garage) and went to a building supply place and they told me to use Type S for Scratch, Stick and Grout. I bought it and I'm mixing 1 part S, three types sand as they told me. Scratch coat went up today on wire. I...

Where is all the Father's day deals? Was hoping for big Kobalt mechanic set from Lowes, but looks like the deals this year aren't very good.

Thanks Guys. i decided to hold out for the Kobalt set when it goes on sale since it has 72 point. Thanks!

Ok. Sears has a deal that after coupon stacking I can get the 309 pc Craftsman set out the door for roughly 170-175 bucks http://www.sears.com/craftsman-309-pc-mechanic-s-tool-set/p-00941309000P Kobalt sometimes has this 300 piece set for roughly 150 - 200 when on sale...

Found this deal from slickdeals.net Is it any good? "Sears has the Craftsman 309 pc. Mechanic's Tool Set [sears.com]for 50% off, $199.99 (Reg $399.99). http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00941309000P?sid=IAx20050830x000545&PID=4485850&AID=11042411&aff=Y The 'Craftsman Club' price (extra...

In my opinion Sears has unfortunately been on the way out and at the edge of bankruptcy for the last 3 years. You will be lucky to trade your USA Craftsman or Chinese Craftsman for that matter for anything later down the road. I think Sears has been on the way out. I just wonder if anybody...

I def need a decent decent set of vice grips. Are Irwin any good, or should I buy somewhere other than Lowes for them?

Thanks for all the info everybody! I think you guys have given me some good places to start and now I know what Kobalt stuff is worth its salt and which isn't.

The whole snap-on snob thing was as a joke. I was just pointing out that I only could use three hundred dollars so I didn't need to know how good Snap-On tools are because I don't have the money. BTW. I have nothing against people that use Snap-On. My older brother owns a minimum of 20,000...

RedFordTruck, U are the man! That looked like a lot of work. Thanks!

I was looking at the 300 pc kobalt set. Wondered If I would be better off with the 227? The 227 has a case and looks like all 6 & 12 pt. The 300 says it has 6, 8 & 12 with no case? Either way I will not buy until they go on sale. Thanks for the advice!

Question of the day. I have no idea what I will store them in. I will probably hope to find a box in a yard or garage sale later down the road.

I'm not in a huge hurry. So waiting for Fathers day deals might be an option!

Price is right. Only problem is I checked store locator. No way if I did break one I could get it replaced fast. Also it didn't say Lifetime Warranty, it said "LIMITED" Lifetime warranty? What's the catch?
