The Sears Outlet store in Marietta GA has the super rare 1/4" drive impact socket sets for $12.

See pics.

I highly recommend that you go there and buy all of those. THere are enough of us here who would pay to have those shipped to us, let alone on ebay..

Count me inline to buy a set off of you.

FYI You can fit those in a USPS flat rate box that shipps for $5.20. THe post office will even pick it up from your house....

I just searched for some more impact sockets on there and they have some listed as reconditioned. How do you recondition a socket?

I live a few miles from there. Are these really that desirable? They are probably $5 a set at HF. ;)

Looks like a lot of folks would want a set, me included. Although I don't encounter stuck fasteners 4 or 5mm size that often a normal socket can't loosen.

I will never buy a HF tool again.

I'd be in for a set of metric and sae if you can get them. Of course covering shipping and a few $ for your time.

$12 +.72 tax + $5.20 shipping = $19.92. + 9% paypal fee = $1.80. $21.72 break even price. To sell via eBay, tack on another 10%.

Tried fining this set on Sears.com, but can't locate it.

Paypal fee is only 3% + .30 per transaction.

so your math is closer to what a total ebay transaction would look like. You can fit an SAE + metric into that same flat rate box, so most of us who would buy both the break even price is not as bad.

Ok, I will swing by there tomorrow afternoon. Anyone that wants a set (or multiple) send me an IM with qty by noon tomorrow. First come, first served. These should be small, so only one shipping charge regardless of qty you want. Well, within reason.

If anyone has ideas on ways to do better than the flat rate shipping or 9% paypal, please post it up. I'm not generally a reseller, but have had other here help me out.

Combine shipping if both sets (SAE & MM) in one priority box ??

So . . $12 + $12 + tax $1.44 + ship $5.20 = $30.64

OP . . you open to accept Cash, Post Office MO, or Cashier's Check to avoid the 9% PayPal fees ??

I'd rather give OP the markup for his trouble . . . so $34 or $35 for everything ??

DANG! Pretty sure the COO was USA. But I was busy buying this way kewl 36x24 Craftsman Professional 2-drawer middle box. The box was brand new without a dent or scratch on it. Originally $499 and I got it for $238 out the door. Maybe not an astounding deal but I think I have a clever use for it which I will share in a separate post later.

fourjeepin ---- if you go there tomorrow there was a separate stack of these little boxes on the floor by the register located away from the entrance door (not the set of registers/cashiers near the entrance).

Hey fourjeepin ---- they also have a bunch of Craftsman branded mini-auto loader screwdrivers. Similar to the pic but of course red/black and Craftsman branded. Kind of gimmicky but kinda handy.

Thanks! I like the idea of those loaded screwdrivers, but have never owned one. I saw them often when traveling to Canada a number of years ago, but never bought one.

There were about 30 boxes of these in Grapevine, TX. I didn't pick up any, because I couldn't think of a use for them. What am I missing here for just a hobbyist?

This one?
12.88 on clearance in normal stores, must not have sold. I have one and use it.

http://www.sears.com/craftsman-auto...a=00947380000P&kpid=00947380000&mktRedirect=y

No. The link you posted is for the big one. This outlet store has the MINI auto-loader.

But whoever actually manufactures this thing brands it for a lot of diffrent tool brands. They are all over ebay and amazon for about $15-$20 under a lot of different names. I had never seen one Craftsman branded and I absolutly do NOT need another screwdriver so I got one because as the wife put it, "just because it says Craftsman on it."

Some slickdeal fever going on in this thread. Just because its cheap doesn't make it a deal. 15 sockets for 26 plus 5 to ship or 8 sockets for 13 + $5 to ship. Comes out to a bit over $2 per socket, its really not that great of a deal. SK 12pc metric is $35 any day of the week.

Also hope people realize these are shallows. If you're going to have one set of 1/4 impacts, get deeps.

It is a good deal, because it is hard to find Craftsman USA 1/4 sockets. 12pc SK Set for $35 is $2.91 a socket.

My local outlet had boxes like that with different socket sets in them.... Looked like a master set or returns that where repackaged Every thing was all broken up into smaller boxes with some skipping sizes. I could never find anything online with the listed part numbers. Only thing decent they had at mine was a 1/2" drive deep set for $13 bucks. That was a few weeks ago and the sets where all ready picked clean and I got the last one on the shelf. Might have to swing by again.
