I don’t know if it was ever confirmed if so my bad, but I had no issues getting the compressor setup for $199 and taking the receipt alone to a store with the $50 price and rebuying. Helped that the store I took it to still showed 1 in the system but of course didn’t have it. LA and SD are on...

It’s been this way at some stores for years. My local one that is happily closing would never match anything online, competitors or otherwise. Wouldn’t warranty anything that wasn’t in stock. Wouldn’t warranty any ratchet that couldn’t be rebuilt, etc. Wouldn’t warranty anything with a spec of...

Super regional too. Good luck pulling this in my area. I live in the 10th biggest city in the country but only 1 Lowe’s in actual city limits. Never any clearance deals because they know (correctly) whatever they have will sell at full MSRP no problem. Rural area or several competing stores and...

Last time something like that happened I called and eventually got someone to neutral out my account because it was Sears’ fault (item showed up missing parts and I had to return it) I think it helped I had status in SYW. Probably not worth it at this point. Sent from my iPhone using The...

Can confirm the locking ring falls out of the freight set. Put some silicone grease in there so the socket pops on and off easier and re-bent the ring a tad. No more problem. My problem with it mainly is the comfort grip handle does not have a metal core so when you are cranking on it, it can...

Yeah, as one of the few guys here from Cali, I've long been watching from the sidelines. I make frequent trips from San Diego through LA/Inland Empire/Palm Desert so I've had nearly a dozen stores to choose from in the past years. Looks like that's sadly coming to an end now. My local Chula...

I noticed some weird games going on pricing wise in the last week, varying wildly at the store level vs online. Many items that still are in significant quantities have been pulled from the website allowing stores to basically set the price at whatever they want. For example the SAE Evolv deep...

I think I figured out the false lack of supply for the Temporarily Unavailable and Only Available in stores items. Basically they pull them from the warehouse and stores, then dump them in Sears Outlet stores for full MSRP. Yes this really was the price. Just another point that the cheapest...

It doesn’t appear to be listed on sears.com anymore, but the bare 3/8 C3 impact is down to 69.94. Sure probably better 3/8 setups out there but I don’t have the space for another battery charger for a different brand and like that I can easily switch between my Cman 1/2 (bought for a $100 spend...

Yeah I have both versions. Harbor freight is good for some jobs but the dual detent on the Sears makes all the difference working in limited space. I found the harbor freight ones kept slipping off unless I put a scrap of paper towel in there to hold them. I also like the fact that they are...

https://www.sears.com/craftsman-3-pc-socket-cap-set/p-00943303000P If you don’t already own these they are basically indispensable on any modern FWD V6 car. I’ve never not used them changing a timing/serpentine etc. Paired up with some XL zero offset wrenches and there are few bolts you can’t...

Southern California. We still have a bunch of stores left here although Kmart is nearly dead. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I went to 4-5 sears stores this weekend to see what I could burn points on. I can’t overstate how empty these stores are at this point, even the flagship I visited with new remodeled restrooms and center atrium. None are on the closing list. There is just not that much left to buy at all...

Yeah I mean most of the ones I’ve seen advertised only come with GM anything else is extra with no guarantees. I’m looking for something out of the box that claims it can do my brands. That way if it fails to work I can just send back claiming false advertising without buying additional...

Probably true. But my Mazda and Ford dealer options in town are terrible and quoted me nearly $400 to do a bleed with the scanner or $170 to do with a basic pump. I’m at the point where I don’t care about recouping my money or coming out ahead. I just want to avoid the dealer at almost any cost...

Will definitely look into the Autel if I can find a vendor such as amazon that sells them with a return policy. My plan is to unbox a given scanner, see if it does the ABS bleed and if not back to the vendor it goes. Thanks for the tips. The Toyota system is Lucas Sumitomo which is a bear to...

I am physically replacing the ABS unit in the Ford. It needs a ABS bleed. I replaced the ABS unit in the Toyota previously and an not impressed with the brake pedal quality after without a proper bleed. The other units are icing on the cake if I can get them to work. Sent from my iPhone using...

Looked into ForScan. They put a lot of trust that $30 adapter actually working and not being a fake clone. I’m very concerned about bricking my ECU if I get a bad cable, not to mention the connection problems, and having to track down a good working XP laptop with a good battery and good product...

Looking for an aftermarket scanner than can handle ABS bleeding on my fleet: 2010 Toyota, 2006/2012 Mazda, 08 Ford. Especially the 08 Ford. Has anyone found a non subscription based bi-directional scanner that as of 2019 can do CanBus Japanese cars ABS bleeding? I’ve called around to the...

Looking to sell both sets as a package deal: RWR612M 8mm-19mm 6pt no skips RWR1208 5/16”-3/4” 12pt no skips Metric set used 2-3 times, SAE maybe one time. Home garage use not in a shop, you can barely tell a couple were used looking at them. The 3/4” wrench holder clip is broken which is how I...
