    Craftsman Industrial 2016

    The other trick is to search the phrase "professional use".... Not just "professional". This will return the Industrial stuff which can be confirmed by zooming in on the pic.

    Craftsman Industrial 2016

    I hope so!! Loaded up on Industrial during the last blowout about 2 years ago. I'd double down if those prices came back! :bounce:

    Best way to keep tools from rusting in an unheated shop

    Yes, thanks for the idea, it would be very easy to drain into the basement drain that the forced hot-air system drains condensate to. :rocker: BTW, this forum turned me on to Fluid Film a few years ago; I have tons of it and love it, and spray my garage-stored tools every winter, but still...

    Best way to keep tools from rusting in an unheated shop

    Can anyone speak to the effectiveness of dehumidifiers in the garage during the winter? I have a well insulated modern house with an attached 2-bay garage, also insulated, about 24x24' total area and I'm in New England. No floor drains in the garage (code, wetland stuff). The cars haul snow...

    $100 and $150 off Promo is back in Home Depot

    Did the 10% off coupon ring up automatically or require an override for them to accept? I have a 10% coupon burning a hole in my pocket, but the back of the coupon is pretty explicit that it can't be combined with other offers, specials, sales, etc.

    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    ^ That looks like a great deal at $199. Really a Keter Fusion 754. Shows as $599.99 online, down from $899.99 (Hot Buy). None in local stores. Looks like an order item? Wonder if your deal was one that was an order that landed at a store and was then canceled, so they are just blowing it off the...

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    Korea on my first drill, 4ah. My second drill arrives tomorrow, so I don't know yet on that one.

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    At least by custom, if not by law, manufacturers of goods sold in the USA time the warranty to begin when an item represented as new is actually sold, not when it is made. No worries at all there. I'm actually tempted to buy another one of these drills, the deal is so good, to keep in my truck.

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    Mine came with 4ah batteries. And yes the cardboard outer "box" says "Engineered in Germany" which is sometimes code for "but made somewhere else" however the label on the drill clearly says made in Germany. Mine did not come with the bit-box, so kind of a bummer, but I got everything that was...

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    Shane, really happy with the drill, it's an awesome deal. Please stick around and post any new deals to this sub-forum or tip off one of us so we can post it up for you. :thumbup:

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    Lithiums self-discharge anyways, albeit at a slow rate. Having it on the tool is probably is negligible, especially if the switch is before any internal circuitry. I guess you'd have to look at a schematic. Both batteries, the one on the drill and the extra, showed just one LED when I pushed...

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    Mine has arrived. Very impressed with the overall kit. It may be a little bit of a plain looking drill but it is very, very high quality. Drill made in Germany, battery is Korea, charger is China (pretty much what I expected). The convertible chuck system is pretty neat, I like the idea. Also...

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    I also got two emails, so I wouldn't worry. One of them looks like a receipt/invoice and the other is a shipping notice. They probably use two different software packages to charge and ship orders.

    Fein ASCM 18 QX

    In for one. I don't care how it looks (not that bad, to me) but what matters is the quality and I know that for $169 a made-in-Germany Fein with two batteries is a smoking deal. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

    For what it is worth, they are made in the USA.

    Miller 211 Welder

    I think it's been said a few times in this thread already: law enforcement does not care and they will not be involved in this. This type of fraud, along with identity fraud, various scams, etc is absolutely rampant. You'd need a dedicated agency staffed with tens of thousands of people, field...

    Getting a deal on a Toro mower?

    What I have read is that the Toros sold at Home Depot are manufactured under license by MTD. If that's true, that would explain why they are junk. I took no chances and bought my Personal Pace at a professional power equipment dealer with a Toro franchise and it's been used and abused for 5...

    Craftsman Professional 1/2 in. Drive Ratchet USA - Sears $9.96

    FWIW, these have been around this price for a while.. at least a month or two. They always show up when I periodically search for any new Industrial deals that Sears adds. It's a solid rat that will definitely take some abuse and it's American made, but nothing pretty or fancy. I've been...
