Bosch Impactor on clearance for $99

[boiler7904]

Went to Home Depot (Rt 30 in Joliet, IL) at lunch today to pick a couple of things up and made a quick run through the tool department. Noticed that they had the Bosch 10.8V PS40-2 Impactor on clearance for $99 from $199.

Combine that with the standard driver rebate by mail and it works out to be a pretty good deal.

Unfortunately, my budget doesn't allow right now since we're finishing a patio.

I was looking at the impactor, there are some other threads on it already, and 800 inlbs of torque, what am I supposed to be able to do with that? Thats like 67 ftlbs.

 

[Stuey]

You drive screws with it.

It's an impact driver, not an impact wrench.

Also, there's a thread on Slickdeals about it; i.e. if you want to get in on this deal - hurry.

Drive self tappers into rediron standing on an extension ladder 20 feet off of hard concrete ONE handed, drive Tapcons faster than my 18V DeWalt without stripping them, remove a panel cover in 10 seconds rather than 2 minutes, ETC ETC ETC. Can you tell I have one, love it and use it daily at work?

 

[JeepsAreBuilt]

Thats a killer deal ! I'd jump on that if I could.. but my homedepot only carrys the ps20 for about $139. Why is it on clearance ?

 

[jdh123]

the same one is on clearance at my local ky hd for 99 dollars. i think my dad needs one lol

 

[Stuey]

I'm still mad at Home Depot. A few months ago they had the same model on clearance online for $59 but out of stock. Two of my local HDs refused to price-match the online price saying that it was a different store.

 

[Bigger Hammer]

I just got in on pretty much the same deal but not quite as good. It was the I-driver for 119.00 with the standard pocket driver rebate. Still a screamer of a deal.

 

[JayL]

Is there an online place where I could buy the Bosch impactor @ the sale price?

That's a hell of a deal. I bought my 3 months ago on-line for $149

Man, the uses can be limitless. Most jobs do not call for 100 ft/lbs of torque!

 

[Major Ramifications]

Damn, $99! That is a hell of a deal! I just bought mine for $143 at Lowes. It came with the bonus flashlight and I sent off for the free PS-20. I already have a PS-20, but I figure I can get something for it on ebay when the new one comes.

Just in case anyone is wondering, Home Depot paid more than $99 for these.

 

[PoorOwner]

wow, finally patience paid of not ordering from Amazon for $150 (I missed their 1 day special price of $110) I got a free holster too!

BTW I believe using a socket with it decrease the torque quite a bit due to the weight the anvil have to strike..

 

[Lyaec350]

Just got the last one at the Burlington, VT Home Depot.

Nothing free (flashlight, holster) that I know of, though I haven't opened the box yet.

Hell of a deal

Picked one up in Lockport NY today. None on the display or floor level, had to get an employee grab one off the top shelf. Came with a free flashlight. $99.00 + tax.

Best thing is, the PS-20 rebate is good until purchase date 7/15, so that's a flashlight, PS-40 and PS-20 for $99. Can't beat that with a stick.

Boiler7904, THANKS for the tip!!!

Wait, the mail in rebate is still good? Where do I get the form? I picked up two PS40's today for me and my dad from HD.

is there any other bit beside the philips and flat that comes with it, I was expecting an extension because the manual shows it.

Don't waste your time and gas driving around to find hex extensions that will accept 1/4" sockets. I went through that futile exercise a few months ago. The only place I could find them locally (order) was at Graingers. The extensions are made by Proto and you can get them in various lengths.

 

[PoorOwner]

wow this thing really rocks, get some ACO bits from the deck section and you will be unstoppable.. The only thing a bit different is that it works pretty fast so bad wood or screw might crack and snap before you have a chance to react.

Sears hardware has them for 1/4" and 3/8" sockets in my area, but only one length.

Made in USA, too

Hey, do you have a part number for this?

 

[nissan_crawler]

SNap-On has them, also. Do NOT get the adapters that use a locking pin. They ****. Get one with a ball like a normal extension.

At my local store, they are made by Vermont American. Same part number and picture for 1/4 and 3/8 on the web, though.

Yeah, sears has the small lenght, but if you want 4" or other lengths, you won't find them there.

DeWalt makes them and Home Depot stocks them here.

Picked 2 Impactors up today! They had a cool 4 pc set of Dewalt semi-deep 1/4 hex shank magnetic drive rbits for $20. They were even swivel impact! They also had 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 hex adapters.

 

[TheToolMan]

this site is awsome i have been eueballiong one of theese for a whilke and couldnt justify the $199 price tag, but for $99 this is a smoking deal with the free ps-20, i picked up my ps-40 this morning, This this smokes the snap-on 7.2v screwdiver this i got 2 weeks ago, Looks like im going to sell the SO one to someone in work, The snap on guy must have sold 10-15 of the cordless screwdrivers and cant keep them in stock, I am going to be the envy at work hahahaha

 

[jay50]

Was at the local HD today and went to see if they had the PS40-2 in stock. Sticker was on the shelf, but none in location.
I asked a sales clerk about them and he said someone came in the other day and bought all their stock.

Dayum ebayers....

 

[boiler7904]

Wouldn't you know it, got some belated birthday money today and my local HD is sold out. I'll have to try the stores near work on Monday.

 

[Joe B.]

They were all gone at my store. They still had the price up and the display model on the floor. Nothing left to buy.

 

[fourfeathers]

Buy the display model then, rookies! They usually keep the boxes for the UPC, and maybe you can even get a discount for the floor model!

I gave that some thought but I was really buying it as a gift and the floor model was really beat up. There used to be a display in the store that you could run down screws.

My brother picked up one yesterday, still 4 more left on the floor. HD in Amherst, NY

Argh! So close. All out in Auburn, NY. Display box there but driver no where to be found. But 240 mile round trip = 8 gallons of premium (~$38) or 12 of diesel ($60+), either way, cheaper online!

Congrats to all who scored the deal!

I tried that yesterday. Tool dept. manager said the display models don't come with batteries, case, etc., just the tool for display.

 

[Firetrucks]

I got mine today. The HD on High School Road in Indy still has 4 more on the shelf! Deafautotech you're just right down the road!!

Thanks for the heads-up Boiler!!

He was wrong. Look up in the rafters, and you will see boxes marked "display". That is the box for that last tool they carry. It may, as another said, be scratched up, but usually it is not bad, and still has the warranty.
