Deal Details via ToolGuyd

I thought this deal would have died a while ago, but it looks like it's still going strong, so I posted about it via ToolGuyd. 2pc Gearwrench S wrench sets, $11.

Mike83 · Jul 27, 2009

Just ordered a set using free shipping code 121380 from lametec. Hell 13, 14, 15 and 17mm covers most domestic and import bases. Thanks Stuey and lametec for the info!

I did order from Northern Tool's website, not Amazon.

stock z/28 · Jul 27, 2009

I bought both of these sets back in early JAN., from Northern.

They are fairly handy. I would really like to get the 3/-- 7/16 version as well.

Stuey · Jul 27, 2009

$22 for four wrenches while the average price for one wrench is about $35. Yikes, the deal is even hotter than I thought! Free shipping rocks, and so does lametec for sharing that bit of info.

how come the promo code for free shipping doesn't work....

Just worked for me. Thanks for the heads up on the deal.

Hank77 · Jul 27, 2009

Great deal! Thanks for the free shipping coupon too!

jay50 · Jul 27, 2009

Thanks for the info; ordered mine from NT with free shipping.

mishkaya · Jul 27, 2009

At that price I figure I will give them a try as well. Thanks for the info! :thumbup:

dirtball · Jul 27, 2009

Ordered both with free shipping also. Great deal for less than $22 shipped. Thanks guys.

X1 Mike · Jul 28, 2009

I ordered both also, thanks for the heads up. :beer:

alexbeau10 · Jul 28, 2009

Just ordered both sets. Great deal, thanks for informing all of it.

volvo420coupe · Jul 28, 2009

I totally want to spend money on those, but I cant think of a single instance where I would have needed one in the last couple of years.

You're looking at it wrong. If you buy them, you'll make an excuse to use them. :beer:

Just got mine. :thumbup:

$21.98 Shipped! Thanks for the heads up on this deal! :bowdown:

So I think I might be an idiot. What am I doing wrong?

I paste this code here:

And then I get this:

Help??!?!?! :headscrat

The code has to be used on the Northern Tools website directly.

hguerrero · Jul 28, 2009

anybody know if it's the same price at Northern Tool's brick and mortar store?

Thanks! I knew I was missing something. :bounce:

Just ordered both sets!

Ordered my set this a.m. Not sure if I really needed these but I liked Daveblank's logic! :thumbup:

lametec · Jul 28, 2009

I have a full set of GearWrench half moon shaped wrenches that I got for cheap from Sears..

They're still in the packaging. These will probably end up the same way, but the way I look at it, I spent $20 for tools that I might need one day, and when that day comes they'll be priceless.

In for both metric and SAE.

bchee · Jul 28, 2009

my biggest concern is not being able to find the 10 x 12mm at a reasonable price. Otherwise it ruins the whole deal

bchee · Jul 28, 2009

I just ordered both sets, but realized that the SAE set is described as an "obstruction" set, even though the picture shows the "S" wrench.

So what does that mean?

bchee · Jul 28, 2009

Isn't an "obstruction" wrench a half moon shape, and not the "S" shape? I also noticed that the 5 pc MM set has a different combination of sizes, so it doesn't seem like the 2 pc set comes from the larger 5 pc set.
The part numbers are also weird. Compare the Northern # with the listed model #. It's like they are reversed

Flathead Red · Jul 29, 2009

I am new to this web site. I have been on the Jockey Journal for a couple months but just came over here. This is sweet. I ordered mine today! Can't beat that for $21 and no shipping. I love this place!!

I'm sure you'll find a use for them. People say they never use moon-shaped wenches or S-shaped ones. I've used my set of S-Shaped ones loads of times, used one today and a couple days ago. Very handy, and often the only tool that'll work.

Diesel-Mech · Jul 29, 2009

Obstruction wrench refers to any oddly bent wrench not just half moons.

Hmm, it's strange that the wrenches wouldn't be the same as the ones of those sizes in the larger sets. I wonder why. Maybe that's why these are 2pc sets? Perhaps Northern has had these in the warehouse for too long and just wants to clear them out?

FiftyCalAl · Jul 29, 2009

Stuey, I again 'bless you" with kudos for finding deals for us. Placed my order this AM. Wish they had more sizes available at that price!

Stuey · Jul 29, 2009

To be fair, loubapache was the first to point out the deal about four months ago.

X1 Mike · Jul 29, 2009

It's a scam do not buy!!!!!!!!!!

I have never needed an "S" wrench in my life, now after ordering these I have been trying to figure out how much it will cost to complete the set..

:lol_hitti

lol, that happens to me very often as well.

X1 Mike · Jul 31, 2009

It’s like freakin Christmas here today! :beer:

I just ordered some of Mike Wren’s clearance wrenches, had a “Woot” order for a car wash kit delivered, and just now my “S” wrenches came. So far they look and feel good. A good feature I was wondering about was it has the reverse lever on both sides of the tool.

If anyone doesn't know about Woot they offer 1 product every day and charge $5 shipping no matter what it is. You can get some great deals I got the Mr. Clean Auto Dry carwash kit for $7.99 shipped, it's not the best but beats the quarter carwash.

Bobby B. · Jul 31, 2009

Just ordered both sets from NT. Thanks for the heads up on the deal! :beer:

jay50 · Jul 31, 2009

I received the wrenches yesterday from NT; very nice.

OldSchoolSS · Aug 1, 2009

These have come in handy a few times for me.

bmwpower · Aug 1, 2009

Ordered the metric set with the code listed.
Thanks!

bb1970 · Aug 1, 2009

I ordered them when they went on sale last time. I haven't used them. Haven't found a need for them.
