    wife is insisting I get a chain saw, what should I get?

    Top brands are Stihl, Husqvarna, Makita/Dolmar, Echo, and Jonsered. If you'll actually be cutting fire wood very often, I'd recommend at least 40cc and 18" bar. Might even go up to 45cc if you don't mind the weight of saw. I've got small Husqvarna and wish I had gone bigger. Now I'm...

    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    Not getting the 50% back in points to work on the "visegrip" locking Crescent wrench pair (8" and 10") for $29.99 which would be nice deal "net" for $15. I am now showing a $10 instant points, so maybe that is "person specific" and cancelling out chance to get the 50% points back ?? :dunno...
