Great, thanks guys.

That was fast. LOL, thanks. In inspecting the box, I noted that one of the drawer's front bottom rounded edges is "smooshed" for lack of a better word. Imagine a metal tube with a slight pinch on one end. It does not appear to be shipping damage, it looks like a manufacturing defect. On a scale...

Ahoy! I just came back from Harbor Freight with a US General 26 x 22" black roller cabinet. Being able to use a 15% coupon on tool storage is nice, finally. I have a couple of questions that I think other people may wonder about too, so I thought I would start a new thread that may help...

Just used the 15% on SKU 64431, 26x22" black roller cabinet. Danvers MA store had none in any color. I went to Medford MA and got it there. Total price with tax, and with one of those magnetic parts trays, was $265.

Yeah, but if they do, what difference would it ever have made harassing customer service people about it? Nothing. If that's the outcome, that's the outcome. What I'm saying is, I don't think getting on the phone is going to do anything one way or another. Unless you ordered 9 sets, you probably...

I really don't get this "I'm going to call/chat/email/telegram/protest naked in front of the call center until I get an answer" hand wringing. It's simple. We got a great price. Grainger hasn't cancelled the orders. There is evidence they are filling the orders when they get them. Sooner or...

It seems like this comes up every time, people saying eBay promos don't work. When the eBay coupons get posted, go to the front page of eBay and follow the coupon banner link in to the categories that qualify. Select a product, and use the promo code during checkout. It works every time if the...

Indeed. It is fun fantasy for value buyers of things like these jacks to believe they are built to any level of industrial quality. I have a few friends who believe that "those downright values" at Harbor Freight expose some kind of conspiracy to rip off people who buy more expensive tools...

No charge on my card yet but no cancellation either. Evidence suggests at this point that Grainger is honoring the price on pickup orders. I think when the stock refills those of us with back orders will get them. If that happens, kudos to Grainger, particularly if it was a mistake.

Ordered 2. I'll probably regret not ordering more if these actually ship. Then again the last thing I really need are more socket sets. Expected delivery Mar 14.

I know this thread has been resurrected from the dead but.. damn it is cool to hear about the life and times of niche tradespeople. More! What are the go-to tools in the world of elevators. What are the hardest problems to solve. What are the most common? Do jokes about the shaft ever get old...

Shipping is free over $30. Not all the deals work out but definitely for some sets, they are cheaper than Amazon.

That's not through Sears though, it's through one of their "marketplace" vendors, fishing for a sucker.

Not a bad deal. I checked a few items (wrench sets, etc) and the promo code does work. As an example the WRN53170 ratcheting combo set is $60 with free shipping, $71 on Amazon. Tekton makes pretty nice stuff, I'm happy with the items I have from them.

These things are toys, the cheapest of the cheap Chinese knock-offs. I would not buy one for myself or my family for reliable emergency power. Yeah, I'm a snob, but I'm spoiled by the two Yamaha inverters that I have. But, I would do what some guys on Slickdeals do, and horde these when they go...
