but it is not a tool, it is a consumable for a tool. should screws go in a tool thread? sandpaper?
i did not start this thread, but allow me to take a stab at it:
this thread was started because people were complaining that "non tool" items were being posted on the other thread, even though the introduction posting said:
"I'll continue to post Amazon warehouse deals here. These are usually very limited stock quantities, once they're gone they're gone.
I welcome all of you to share any deals you find here as well."
here is that post:

notice it never says "tool", it says "any deal".
i imagine that this thread was intended to address the complaints. certainly some things posted here are clearly tools. i myself have posted gearwrench ratchets, as an example. my only defense is that it is easier to post everything in one thread and not worry about the appropriateness of each item. i also dont have the fortitude to jump between threads. i usually post in bursts, and won't be bothered to jump around. the public good isn't worth that to me.
there you go. likely not the rules you were looking for, but it is my take on the situation.
