I was just in the Greensboro NC outlet and found the same thing. 3/8 socket sets to $7.99. They still have lots of full polish wrenches and Industrial sockets and mechanics sets. Go get em.

I can verify that this is the same in Pittsburgh, PA. The tags are not yet marked down but the price rings up correctly at the register.

Yep, I just can't stay away - had to go and make sure, picked up the 10pc reversible set. Only bummer is there is no roll up pouch with this set. I wonder where I can get a nice pouch?

Picked up a 338 PC mechanics set for $159. All the tools in the box are USA made. Has all the tools to finish off my tool box.

Why don't you just have it shipped to you from the website? They are really fair with shipping. Is there something I am not seeing?

I went back today at lunch and had my reciept from last weeks spree. They will price match if it's 14 days or less. Saved me $86 w/o having to return everything and buy it back. 30 days on returns so I do have a couple of things I got about 3 weeks ago that I need to do that to.
Generally when I look at the Sears outlet website many of the good deals are not available for shipping, only local pickup.

I got the last 309 mechanics set in my store for $159+tax. That thing has 190 sockets
must weigh 60 lbs. I'll return all those little sets I've collected over the past few weeks and break even money-wise.fivespdcat

I see people asking about some of the deals asking people to ship stuff to them and so on. Good example being the 14pc industrial wrench set. I was just wondering if shipping is not an option for some because I just ordered 4 sets of these wrenches last night as well as a previous set all from the website.

I'm getting tempted on a 520 piece set for $519.00 after the discount.

I ordered about $100 worth of stuff tonight hopefully it is all industrial stuff but I did find some great deals on some other stuff.
Does anyone know if the $7.99 1/4" 9 piece sets are industrial or not? I guess it doesn't matter because I bought them anyway.

I am not positive, but last night when I was at the store, I don't think they said industrial.
Anyone have the model #'s for the 14pc industrial combo wrench sets? I need both metric and SAE.
I believe this is the metric people were buying:
http://www.searsoutlet.com/14-PC-Wr...id=1891&mode=buyNewOnly&itemSelectionType=all
Can't seem to find an SAE set though.
EDIT: I think it's this one?

Yes that is the correct # for the metric set(9to18mm,20,22,24,27mm)-I didn't get the SAE set cuz I am pretty much tripled up on SAE wrenches up to 1 1/2" but the set you showed is the one at my local Sears outlet. They also had the metric set #16565---- 7to19mm, 21mm w/o the roll. I priced getting the missing sizes from the first link and decided that was the way to go. If you decide to do that zoro tools has the 7,8,19 and 21 mm and if you sign up for emails and wait they send you all kinds of deals with the confirmation of email.
How common are 7,8,19,and 21?
I researched this a little bit ago and saw this:
7 and 8mm = in all 3 standards (ANSI, German, Japanese)
19 = in German and Japanese, but not ANSI
21 = only in ANSI
What are odds I can find a cheaper set of wrenches for similar quality? (~$4-5/wrench). I know I can find the RP wrenches for around $2/wrench - not sure if these are worth double.
WOW, if you're near one of these Sears Outlet stores, I'd sure recommend going shopping!!
Found Tampa, FL outlet store has 7 piece Craftsman open-end wrench for $1.93 listed on website (item 44187) . . . unbelievable!!
However, these super bargains are NOT able to shipped. You have to go in person and see what is actually left on shelf in store. Called Tampa, FL and rep said he couldn't find the above 7 piece set so might be lag in data getting to website .... or this is teaser price to get you in store.
Anyone get this deal?

Why don't you purchase online then do in store pickup?
Just a heads up, the 14 piece wrench set I bought had the incorrect 1" wrench. It looked almost identical until I pulled it out of the pocket and saw that it was a regular craftsman. Sears was happy to replace it with the correct wrench but I suggest everyone who purchased the closeout sets check to make sure that their sets are complete. It may be hard to get a replacement once the promotion ends. Sorry for the blurry photos, i've never taken pictures of shiny things in low light.

Congrats NickM on getting nice 14 piece combo wrench set. Best price I saw was $59.99 on those, if they were shipped.
I'm 4 states away from any Sears Outlet mall so out of luck on the super deals ; but there are some incredible deals to be had if you're near one.
Good luck to lucky ones getting these deals/steals!

Did anyone else get a canceled order? Sears just told me "Unfortunately, we checked with your local store and discovered that one or more of the item(s) in your ORDER #10050232400 / SALESCHECK #093221240594 were not in stock."
I did an online order and delivery btw.

I had that happen with my first order, but tried again and it went through.

I placed and order and got a $20 off my next order,, that order got cancelled, so I placed another order and used the $20 off and it got shipped, so sometimes it works out for the customer.
Yes they are, just bought them.
This happened to my store pickup. The packaging on these items is horrible, some items dont even have a sears model number on them. I placed an order for 7 items and 5 were cancelled. Went into the store and found 4 out of the 5 that were cancelled. All else fails call them.

I visited the local Sears Outlet on Saturday. I didn't even know they existed until I saw this thread (so thanks! 
) I ended up purchasing the 154-piece Craftsman Industrial tool kit, which was regularly priced at $160 but was on sale for $50. For was I paid, I can't say I'm too disappointed. Everything is made in the USA and no parts were missing.
HOWEVER (and it's a big HOWEVER), I found these tools to be inferior to Craftsman's regular RP wrenches and socket. The chrome on the sockets look great (except for one that wasn't stamped correctly), but the insides are as rough as sandpaper and the walls are super thin. The RP Craftsman Industrial wrenches are obviously just stamped from a sheet and they're not forged. They look and feel HORRIBLE compared to my regular RPs. The 1/4" and 3/8" socket wrenches are a joke, but the 1/2" seems sturdy enough. The bit driver and all the bits that came with it will have a short shelf life, I'm sure. After going through everything in the kit, I threw in a new pair of Craftsman pliers, some extra new Craftsman screwdrivers I had laying around, packed it back up so I can give it to my 12-year old nephew for Christmas. It'll make a great first tool kit for him, but I don't think I'd ever get any serious use out of these.
I thought Craftsman Industrial would be superior to plain old Craftsman or at least on par with Craftsman Professional, but I was wrong. Now I can see why they didn't have any of the tools on display; they were all in sealed containers, so you had to buy them blind.
For the price, they really are hard to beat, they're all USA and would make for a great beginner set. For anyone who actually needs to turn a wrench to do serious work, I'd skip on them unless you're hard up for cash and need a set to hold you over until you win the Lotto.
