OR….. Even if you have a Menards in your hood it will most likely cost you $10 for gas to drive there.
AMAZON…… FTW!
Plus that, like the GW 1/4" drive short and deep set for $12.** posted the other day, there was 7 in stock at my store. So, l could order online, pick up in store, they charge us a processing fee. Heck with that too.

Snagged one at that price yesterday, thanks!
I bought one but am a little disappointed. These are good lights but seem no better to me than any other $15 light. The rechargeable version looks similar but feels more solid and is much more powerful…and expensive.

Woot has the knipex parallel jaw "150's" at 46.99 now:

Plies wrench

(Click for link, sorry "pliers" is misspelled)

cameI site averages price about $60 , currently "On sale" at Amazon for $58.77. All time lowest in Amazon of $37 was in 2016...

I'm bad at self control and bought a pair as Christmas presents.

Knipex Pliers Wrench, 150mm - if you happen to be interested in the comfort grip version 86-05-150 (not as good a deal):
HomeDepot, $51.13 (link)
Zoro, $53.43, if a coupon works and pad to $50 for free ship, this would be a nice deal (link)

You are fortunate. At $14 they were an OK deal. At $25 they are not worth it. I bought at $14 and am not very impressed. I do like my more expensive rechargeable Streamlight penlight that cost more like $35 on sale, but it is way more powerful and feels much more substantial than this cheap piece of tin.

Thanks, I appreciate your review. I'll wait around for the rechargeable one to go on sale.

For what it's worth, I think he's completely wrong. I've been carrying one every day since they came out and haven't found a better one yet. I've converted countless field techs over to them over the years. I'd pay full price tomorrow if I needed a replacement, (although I have a couple of new ones stashed back for when I inevitably lose the one I'm currently carrying).

And yeah, I'm fully aware this is not a deal post.

This is a 9 piece, looks like it adds a multi port charger, for $200 plus shipping, factory blems as noted by someone before but with warranty.
Don't remember if noted in this thread or not, but these "Blems" are typically brand new, likely sold that way due to contract restrictions with HD. My experience confirms that. Only thing negative I can say about this company is sometimes shipping quality leaves a little to be desired. My last power tool purchase was shipped in its retail box alone, seems ok but I feel like I got lucky on that one.

Sounds like they are copying typical Amazon shipping practices
I've gotten to where I always go to the shopping cart on Amazon and never use the Buy Now feature right from the item page. I always look under each item- If they come from Amazon, when they are shipped direct in their packaging it will say something along the lines of "The package may reveal the contents..." If you see that, you can almost always click into gift options and select "Ship in Amazon packaging" for no charge. It's not always the best - especially the new envelope things they are using on some stuff, but it least it gets an extra layer of protection.
