These are great little zip ties deeply discounted if you need to stock up.

3M Cable Tie CT4NT18-M ( Pack of 1,000) $3.02


3M Miniature Cable Tie CT6NT18-C, Natural/Nylon, 18 lbs., 0.10 in x 6.10 in (Pack of 100) $2.18

Holy cow... 1000ct? I bought two. Also picked up 2 packs of the 6"... Thanks!

I was getting low on some zip ties!

Every once in a while, these drop to stupid prices. $46.66

Akro-Mils 39160 Industrial Plastic Storage Tote with Hinged Attached Lid, (27-Inch L by 17-Inch W by 12-Inch H), Gray, (4-Pack)

buyer beware. i purchased these exact ones 3 times a few months ago and all but one came as a single instead of a 4 pack. chatted with a rep and they sent out more for the first 2 orders and those both came as a single. finally they just partially refunded my money for what i received, but they also messed that up and refunded me too much so i ended up with like 8 for $50-something. also, they weren't the size mentioned (they were bigger, if a specific size isn't important) and they were buckhorn brand not AM. but if i recall correctly they may have had the right item # on them.

overall a huge hassle even though i ended up with a good deal. just don't expect to actually get 4 if you order.

I just spent $11 for two bags of each! For shipping I got a total of $4 in no rush digital credit!

We use prime movies, so this is awesome!

Strong Hands three axis welding clamp for $195. Was about even with the low side of the graph on Camel, $240 most places.


That's a decent price. 2 bills is about what I paid for mine 5 years ago. I don't use it all that often but when I do it's indispensable and can make 90-90 fab jobs much quicker.

Strong Hands in general makes very good tools; yes, you'll pay a bit more for them but they're much more durable and consistent.

This is a fair warning. This problem was pretty widely reported on GJ - others received damaged goods. I have ordered three times (different sizes) without incident. I'll report back when I get this latest delivery. Parenthetically, I have often experienced the "one pack" instead of "multi-pack" from Amazon. Most recently, I tried to order 100-count of 3M electrical tape - I got one. I exchanged it - I got one.

Looks like a seller is fighting Amazon for the buy box. I think we'll see a bit of this since Amazon plans to charge seller who do their own prime shipping an additional 2%. Lets see how low it will go...

my biggest concern was getting black listed by amazon for "returning" or claiming non receipt of too many items, as i had a few other issues within the last several months, the rest i think were warehouse deals but were the same issue--6 packs coming in as singles.

I like this quote:

"That means sellers are also required to keep up with Prime’s one- to two-day delivery standards and weekend shipping, CNBC notes."

For me, some stuff comes in two days after it leaves the Amazon warehouse (which is always a crapshoot as to how long that will take) BUT I also consistently have stuff that takes many days. I have a dozen #60 drill bits that shipped "Package arrived at an Amazon facility. Aurora, CO US" on Sunday and they may make it to me today or they may not if they don't get to my local Post Office pretty soon as my driver loads up for the day at 06:45.

So I don't get criticized...

Amazon does not consider returns of warehouse deals the same as other returns since the condition is not always as advertised.

I use 6 ton jackstands with all my cars including a VW Bug (1800 lbs wet) just to get the extra height. If the car is sitting properly and solidly, height is not an issue. I also got rid of all my jack stands that did not have the double locking pin feature.

Harbor freight jack stands? No way! Don't trust my life to the lowest bidder of the day who makes their jack stands.

I like that!

Here's the update - I ordered 4 of these (16 totes total). I received four packages. Three had 4-packs in perfect condition. The fourth had a single tote. How does that even happen? I returned the single.

all i can imagine is the single is buckhorn brand (correct me if i'm wrong and the single was something else) and has the same part # as the 4 pack akro.
also, was the single larger than the correct ones and/or are the 4-packs the correct size?

They are all Akro-Mils and the same size.

What makes these side terminal wrenches different from a 6-point reversible ratcheting wrench?
It's a battery terminal wrench for side post (GM). Vinyl coated handle to aid against arcing. You use purpose made wrench to keep your expensive wrenches away from battery acid. Usually for mechanics/technicians not home gamers.

LPS-1020 HDX Heavy Duty Degreaser, 19 oz. aerosol (Pack of 12) , 87% off, $18.12. Not shipped by Amazon, vendor has an 57% 5 star rating, quite a few 1 star ratings, but I rolled the dice and ordered 2 cases. If deal is still up, appreciate someone providing the link, thanks.

I ordered the case of 12 for the price of 1 as well, but am expecting to receive 1 which I will return or a cancellation.

I'm in $17.76 for 12 cans shipped free. We'll see.
It will be interesting, as the same seller also had it listed (under the same 12-pack listing) for $172.
And as I write this, the lowball listings are getting pulled, first from Amazon, then from Amazon Business.

Though still 1/2 price ($82) from Amazon on Amazon Business.
