    Metabo (Hitachi) 18V drill and impact driver kit + free 18v/36v multivolt pack after rebate $109 on Amazon

    The free battery is “while supplies last,” but if you were already considering grabbing this kit, now is probably a good time. Just ordered, and Amazon quoted me a shipping time of almost 3 weeks. There will still be 5 weeks left before the end of the rebate promotion (September 30).

    Easy come, easy go. If mine get cancelled, at least I was able to use these listings for free shipping on a $40 order.

    Stahlwille SF20/8 Offset Double-Ended Ring Spanner Set, Metric, 8 Pieces - $66

    They’re kind of a “classic” style. I get the impression that they were nigh indispensible back in the 60s and 70s, but these days there are other ways to tackle some of those problems, which weren’t so prevalent back then, like pass thru ratchets. You can definitely live without them but if you...

    OEM 246161 tear down cart for $69 shipped.

    This cart has been a nice addition to my little home shop. It’s the one horizontal surface in the shop that’s never in the way because I can move it with one hand and zero hassle :D working on a PC case mod this weekend—

    Capri master hex set $36

    Gone again, or else not available for shipping to my zip code. Neat that it might be back for some though.

    Stahlwille SF20/8 Offset Double-Ended Ring Spanner Set, Metric, 8 Pieces - $66

    It’s too bad about the 21mm, but I actually totally agree with leaving out the 14mm. I think it’s kind of silly that so many half inch drive sets start at 10mm or lower. That’s 1/4” or 3/8” drive territory. Maybe I’ll make my own foam and do different sizes. :)

    The fact that they always take Warehouse stuff back with no questions asked is what makes it work. the funniest one I ever had was a Stahlwille tinsnip which turned out to be Craftsman Evolv. Some clever jerk swapped it out and of course Amazon was none the wiser. The worst part is that tin...

    Yup. If what you’re looking for is rock solid retention you will not be disappointed!

    I was sloppy. The yellow bit holder handle has magnetic retention and there is some free play. The black one, which I see in the thumbnail of the eBay listing, is the one I’ve spent more time with. It’s fantastic. There’s no magnet. Instead, there’s a spring steel clip around the nose that...

    Stahlwille SF20/8 Offset Double-Ended Ring Spanner Set, Metric, 8 Pieces - $66

    This price has been around for a while, according to the camels. I bought one after looking at the reviews. It does seem like a pretty good price for top quality sockets and a nice ratchet.

    Could be cosmetic damage to the metal box. Could be bad actors planning on returning it, possibly with a few bits left out. There are lots of cheap “precision” screwdriver bits and bit-sets. The Wiha stuff is certainly expensive, and not everybody needs it. You can spend more on this type of...

    Two thumbs up for the Wiha System 4 stuff. It’s super nice.

    Used it. Thank you! I’ve been sitting on a cart with some Proto sockets (J54211, 24pcs 1/2” drive metric) and a couple other drive tools that fill the holes in a Blackhawk blow-mold case. Saved $50.

    Stahlwille SF20/8 Offset Double-Ended Ring Spanner Set, Metric, 8 Pieces - $66

    I ordered a small item that shipped via DHL from Hong Kong. They notified me of a successful delivery, but the item was not in my mailbox, on my porch, anywhere reasonable. I searched everywhere, then called their number to report the problem. They did everything they could to make me question...

    Scored a ridiculous deal at Walmart.

    Nah, still interesting, in my opinion

    2021 Home Depot's deals/sales/clearance thread

    I believe these X-core sockets are the ones that performed poorly compared to competition in the Torque Test Channel’s torture test. I believe the issue was poorly conceived metallurgy, with one mating component (the X core?) being significantly harder than the other, with the result that under...

    OEM 246161 tear down cart for $69 shipped.

    It’s like a 3/8 screw. They quote a capacity of like 70 lb for the cart, and I suppose the friction of that set screw against the post is a limiting factor in that capacity.

    Doesn’t seem super heavy duty — I was able to pick it up with one hand once it was out of the box — but it’s a nicely welded stainless cart, with nice big casters. Very happy, felt like Christmas to unwrap it. Edit - posted more pics initially but some were upside down in the webpage, so...

    33"W 4-Drawer Husky Mechanics Tool Utility Cart (Gloss Black) $159 @ Home Depot

    Do you mean the teardown cart? I actually snagged two of those. It’s fine for the money, but this Husky item seems like a really great value too, probably a better value when you consider the beefy casters and the ball bearing drawer slides. I’m certainly tempted, but I try to avoid black. I’ll...
