Cannot tell if those have one or two bulbs. I have been using the costco ones with great success. They have two bulbs in them, very bright, well thrown illumination, instant on. No problems. They are the Feit ones, I usually pick 'em up on sale for between $22 and $24...

For those interested in the Dewalt 204, go for Dewalt DWMT75049 192-piece tool set the same as the 204 set excepting without the 12 wrenches... I bought it last year for about $160. you can find it at Blains right now for under $150. 12 - Combination wrenches, 12PT (only 12pts in the set)...

Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ Read the rules again (potato just reposted them a few posts back), its actually: Option 1: Deal posts, with Deal discussions allowed (actually encouraged) ...so if you start discussion about said tool quality or comparisons, corporate...

Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ Ryan, if you do subforums, a concern might be that a discussion that begins to take place in the HD section, say- about a particular item from craftsman vs hobart (etc), or changes at sears that may affect a decision, will lend incongruent...

Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ As a forum admin I would really think hard on what Matt Matt and JimNC suggested about trying a non-permathread approach for HD section. Likely less work for mods as well as guests/members, and easier for lowering impact of so-called...

Just put an online order in with sears. It stated free shipping on orders $49+. Fine details say get it by (2-3 days later) with expidited shipping. Turns out, during checkout free shipping takes 2 weeks, then if you do it again and choose expidite they charge you full shpping fees. Calling...

Thanks LB. @Jake: Now that was hilarious. Everytime I think of Grandma's spoon I cannot help also remembering Agnes Moorhead's wooden spoon in Richard Matheson's "The Invaders" on Twilight Zone... Found it.... she gets the spoon at about 11:14 Now that's a spoon, and one you're gonna...

I may post a new thread, but it seems relevant to revive this here, and I could not find discussion on this 'other' set elsewhere.... Isn't the Dewalt DWMT75049 192-piece tool set the same as the 204 set excepting without the 12 wrenches? I looked at the Dewalt Listing on it and all the piece...

I don't see what you are talking about, only the leather, and that nasty switch... I mean wooden spoon (anybody ever feel one of those in full swing? Definitely brings back memories ;^) - what is "the bag" you speak of? They making a tool bag roll or something? Thanks.

Yeah, even though its Ind., I looked for, and was glad to find, the U.S. stamp, and considering it was no "bitties", after some hunting around it seems a good deal to me. Sure would be (have been) nice if those ratchets indicated higher tooth count than the old standard, which have no doubt...

Figured I'd post this for anyone potentially interested... I received a notice from Global Industrial about this this morning... Craftsman® Industrial™ Mechanics Tool Set 24849, SAE/Metric, 99 Pc, w/blow molded case Spec Sheet...

Those lites kick ****. I was at a friend's scrapping a van over the weekend and we had one of those short models... super bright, not hot, ...I was pretty impressed considering I just bought a similar halo one like it last year and, while its really bright and effective, this kicks its ****.

UPDATE 3/4 --They tried to help, but failed. An HF rep had contacted me about my submitted reviews at their site (which for the life of me I cannot find - and I used no inappropriate or dishonest language in my reviews). While they tried to send me proper replacements on a couple things, what...

Cool. Congrats. That was fun.

FWIW, I am big Shepler's fan, and they throw a lot of sales too. 20% off today.
