official Trident hot deals thread?

toolstools · Jun 17, 2013

Seems like the 120xp promotion went over great as did the customer service especially Mike going above and beyond by joining here. What I ask of Mike, and Ryan, if we could have an additional Trident Hot Deals sticky thread. Giving that they both approve.

I think if it goes through and is approved that a few simple rules should he made, and followed, to keep everyone happy and keep the thread uncluttered.

1. New hot deal, Mike is the only one to post it. Details, link etc
2. If you buy in on the hot deal, just a simple bump, bought, thanks reply to keep it easy to find the deals instead of wading through pages.
3. Any questions on the deal, to pm Mike.

What do you think GJ as a whole on this idea? Mike? Ryan?

If this idea is a bust, sorry for the waste of time. And thanks for everyone's time reading this. :thumbup:

Mike-Trident · Jun 17, 2013

I am all for it. I could use help determining what things everyone would be interested in. Maybe a poll? If so, I can then go to my manufactures and get special pricing.

Mike-Trident · Jun 17, 2013

?..plus I can stock accordingly. This sale just drained our stock. We never in or dreams expected this...

That's the thing about GJ, there's such a broad group of users, a lot of deals are posted. We have welders, metal workers, carpentry and wood workers, mechanics and DIYers.

I think anything you think is a "hot deal" would be a hit.

Let's give it 24 hours and see what GJ as. Whole thinks and if Ryan approves.

I know real soon I'll be looking for sae gear wrench flex sockets in 3/8 shallow. :thumbup:

I don't know when though or if I'll decide to buy them. Have to wait for finances. Thanks again Mike for all your work and time here.

Outside of Gearwrench, what do you guys carry or have access to?

Brands I know are a big hit here (outside of tool trucks)

Armstrong
Wright
SK
Williams
GearWrench (lol)

Plus some others, but that's just off the top of my head. Also, you'd be surprise the people who buy something on a whim just for a good deal, or something new to try.

Gearwrench mid-length sockets... I know a bunch of guys are looking to get their hands on em at a decent price

shiftdrift · Jun 17, 2013

Yeah those would be nice. Maybe an impact socket set in metric.

Yes...mid-length.

BK13 · Jun 17, 2013

Yep, I'd like to pick up some 6point middies, 1/4 and 3/8, SAE and metric...

upgrading · Jun 17, 2013

I would say post each hot deal separate so they don't get lost.

BK13 · Jun 17, 2013

Just from looking at the list of manufacturers carried, I see some lines I'd like to try... Armstrong, Facom, Proto, IR, Snap On... I'd be thrilled to death for a deal on the highly regarded Armstrong pinless universal impact sockets, or a special on some Snappy Dual 80 ratchets... :bowdown:

uniballer · Jun 17, 2013

First time I've been to that site(I **** on looking up tools).
Hell of a site.

Fedwrench · Jun 17, 2013

Perhaps the journal should add a vendor hot deals section as a subsection to Hot Deals. Vendors from Epsteins to trident could post their current promotions there. :dunno:

Of course having a vendor section takes away the fun of finding the hot deal to begin with. :lol:

toolstools · Jun 17, 2013

Yay or nay?

thesilverone · Jun 17, 2013

Any USA tool manufacturers

Yep (except the previously mentioned Facom).

Hey 87FoRunner:

Yes it is! We expect this to be happening for a while since we are new to the internet world, it seems to be good to us though!

We want to thank GJ for all of their support!

We are thinking of a blow out on Allen products, what does everyone think about that?

toolstools · Jun 17, 2013

What does everyone think of my first post? All this is great, but off topic a little bit.

Ryan · Jun 17, 2013

So long as the membership is for it, I am as well...

toolstools · Jun 17, 2013

Ok guys, Mike is on board, and Ryan approves, what say yet GJ? Let's make this happen!

Thank you for that information, but keep in mind all GJ users will have a coupon code soon to get free shipping on over $40 and 10% off. So, overall this should be a better deal.

Mike-Trident · Jun 17, 2013

OK, I compared rates (including shipping on the first item I found.
KDT-80304S. NTX price is $37.93. $24.83 + $13.10 Shipping.

Trident's rate for the same product is: $31.68. if you order $8.32 more, in product you get free freight. They don't give free freight until $250. Plus you get $10% off, so your $40 purchase drops down to $36 with free freight.

Guys, we are trying.

Hey Guys, because of our contract with Snap-on, we CANNOT sell Snap-on outside of Asia...

Priceless. Customer service that works is priceless. Keep up the unbelievable work Mike!

b7labelle · Jun 17, 2013

Aw man ....i'd bite but I already have WAY too many wrenches I dont use.

ladrones · Jun 17, 2013

Since I just lost my Armstrong ball peen dead blow hammer 48 oz. I would be happy if you made a hot deal on ball peen dead blow hammers.

Basskiller · Jun 17, 2013

I don't think we need another sticky. They could just post a thread with a hot deal. Or even better, if they are not a site sponsor they could become one.

Mike-Trident · Jun 17, 2013

Hi, we are an alliance member and are interested in becoming a sponsor.
