$2.99 Stanley hand tools @ Ace.

You need a card to get that price.

Even without the card that is a good price. I'm planning on picking up another set of chisels (paid $10 for the same set several years ago) and a leverlock tape measure.

*sigh* my Ace was sold out of the chisels. I had just given my set to a friend at work expecting to pick them up.

I misspelled Stanley.
Oops.

Is that the one that hinges open along the bottom side? If so, I have it and like that one too.

These Stanley tools have usually been $2 with Ace Rewards card when they have a sale like this. I hope this $2.99 thing is only for this particular sale.

I really like that utility knife. It takes a minute to figure out the blade holder the first time, and the instructions don't help, but it works well. If it's difficult, you are doing it wrong.

The pry bar is the 12" Wonder Bar, not the much better Super Wonder Bar that has been part of similar sales at Ace (July, January?).

Here is a "how to" vid for anyone having trouble loading the blade.

Stopped by today and picked up a knife and tape measure. The utility knife appears to be made as well as the first one of that style that I bought over 10 years ago. That one saw several years of use in a professional residential construction environment and is still going strong today.

I passed on the other offerings.

Thanks OP

The chisels aren't bad, I picked up a set to use when I don't want to risk my better chisels.

Made it by one of our local Ace stores today. The Stanley tools are still on sale for $2.99 and this store had plenty of stock.

Got the knife, knife blades, set of chisels, pry bar and a tape measure. The tape measure is for the wife. Maybe she will stop borrowing mine. Think I'll put it in her stocking...

I might have to run over to Ace and pick up one of those knifes. I have a Stanley knife that is about 20 years old, and it's the first thing I grab when I need a utility knife.

I have one of the Craftsman ones, that are almost exactly like this and flip open. But instead of a screw holding the back half together, it is a push button thing. I think they designed it thinking you could open it without a screwdriver that way. But the problem is when you push down on it hard or it is under heavy use, the knife keeps wanting to pop open. Poor design. I think this Stanley one won't have that problem since it has a physical screw instead of a push button.

This knife has a button on the back also.

This knife has a button on the back also.

Is it like this? If so, I'm going to pass. Because this kind of knife keeps popping open. And/or the blade keeps falling out.

 

[Zeke]

Those are utility chisels. The better ones have a clearish yellow handle. They have even better ones with wood handles but that's another ball game.

 

[upgrading]

Is it like this?

No, it is up top.

 

[dakotart1984]

The knife looks similar to my favorite, the milwaukee. Is there a magnetic blade holder in the bottom? If so.. this is a killer deal.

Stopped into my local Ace store today and the sale is still going on. They are also selling a dremel 3000 for $49.99. Thought that was a great price as well

It's the December monthly flyer pricing. Which in this case means Dec 1-24.

 

[Zrexxer]

WTF on the chisel package it says "Hardened for resharpening?" How about "Hardened because they're frickin' useless otherwise?"

The sale tags were dated for a November expiration with a black marker over it . Maybe they decided not to put new tags up i guess. Thanks

Not Stanley but ACE also has the 8 Pc. Craftsman cushion grip screwdriver set for $19.99. Not a bad deal for some of my favorite drivers.
