    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    Question: I've found a set of tools that I could use on sale at Sears online. If I purchase I will earn almost 11K points ($14). Can I redeem them at time of purchase (of this tool set) ... or do I have to wait until the next purchase (which may never happen)? Thanks ...

    Hose clamp pliers set? Recommendations?

    Found the tip ... taking it back. Found that while the tool is fairly well made ... the C clip that they use to lock the tips to the pliers are made of ultra-thin steel (or something like it). It is the thinnest clip I've ever seen. It will almost always fail when put under stress.

    Hose clamp pliers set? Recommendations?

    Was out at Sears and stumbled upon a set of Craftsman Hose Clamp Pliers, model #947705. These typically sell for $12 - $13. Did a price check and found that they were on sale for $6.24. They are American made so I bought them. I'm going to test them by taking the wife's Honda's cooling...

    Hose clamp pliers set? Recommendations?

    In the past, when removing/replacing hose clamps, I've always just used a standard pliers. Now that I am older and have less blood to shed I've decided to procure a set of pliers to make the job easier. I've got my eyes on a few sets at Amazon...

    GearWrench 84916N SAE/Metric 3/8" Impact $53.58 @Amz

    I purchased the 29 Piece 1/2" Drive Impact Metric Deep Socket Set (84935N) earlier this year. They seem to be heavy duty and very well made. If this 3/8" set is anything like the 1/2" set they should be great tools. Unfortunately, It is $57 with tax but OOS at the moment ...

    Dropped off some used oil this morning and can confirm that the set you refer to is normally $99 but is on sale for 50% off.

    Gearwrench at Tractor Supply....

    You are correct. I purchased the 40424A set at AAP last year. It retails for about $60 but AAP often runs specials on GW products so (I believe) my final price was somewhere about $35 OTD.
