That's a good deal if you need a basic mag drill. However, there's no speed selection:

>10 AMP motor delivers 850 RPM for enhanced cutting speed

850 RPM is quite fast for any larger annular cutter. Be careful or you'll burn up consumables quite quickly.
Yeah, my Hougen is a single speed but only spins at 450.

RacerX just ordered two pair, so looks like "used like new" is all that is left on the warehouse site.
Ah ok, was just trying to confirm your post was indeed for new and they’re now moving like-new, or if it were all like-new.

Anyone else notice that Amazon just completely F'd up the ability to filter AWD results? Used to be the left sidebar would allow you to sort by tool type- power tools, hand tools, welding, etc. Now it's just Tools and Home Improvement? No sorting 8000 results by subsections?

Click on the first grouping and the next page will let you filter more

example:

Clicking one level in

But I agree, it is a nuisance

A few days ago there was some interest in steel toolboxes on here (somewhere)
So a few urrea toolboxes for reasonable
I have one of these (not sure what size anymore). It is OK. Not one you would carry around every day but works fine for tool storage under bench in shop. Much better than plastic for my use

$26.29 Used like new

$27.36 Used good

$36.87 used like new

Well, didn't really need one but figured, in the name of science, I should get one to compare with the pricey German clippers my wife has. Maybe the $5 pair will hold their own - will find out.

There's also a set of SK combination wrenches in Metric. Supposedly this would be old Made in USA stock? If so a good deal in my book, but would return if not USA stock

I don’t know in this case, but I’ve found Amazon’s COO information to be wrong in the past. Was SK’s product under Ideal good?
There is a review on amazon claiming some are mixed china + US

Either way I wont be going for it if not USA. Not worth it in that case

I like sk tools and have a bunch of different sets. But for 200 bucks I would buy a wright set. Made in Usa and great service if you need warranty help.

They won't.

Seems like a recent change for me. I liked being able to sort by the sub categories. Now I have to wade through the entire warehouse if I am looking for pliers? Who thought this was a good idea?

Mine are going back. Embarrassingly poor jaw alignment, especially for a precision tool. So much for made in USA quality.
We've had quite a few cheap immitations that never hold up so my advice is Buy once cry once.
Felco's are Swiss made with differing grades $70ish on down. Haus&Garten are pretty decent for about 1/2 of what Felco's cost. Look identical Japanese steel. $30ish

I'm not sure if this is the poor jaw alignment you are referring to, but just in case you didn't know, cutters designed like those Kleins are usually supposed to have jaws that are slightly out of alignment with each other. One of the cutting blades is supposed to hit and travel slightly up the machined ramp of the other blade while cutting. It prevents the cutting edges from hitting each other directly and damaging each other, and that design helps reduce mechanical shock transfer into soldered joints etc. as the cut is completed. All my Xuron cutters are made this way, and Xuron cutters are commonly used throughout many industries. Xuron calls the feature "Micro shear bypass cutting". It looks like Klein might be calling it a "pinch-cutting feature" based on the Amazon description. Xuron might even be the OEM for those Kleins. All my cutters work great for the jobs they are designed to perform, like cutting small copper wires, flush cutting zip ties, etc. You might want to try cutting a few things first, to see how your cutters do before returning them.

I attached an explanation (from the Xuron website) which explains why they make their cutting edges the way they do.
