Gedore tool sets in Lowes

[leod]

Saw this today while browsing online, will become available later, no smaller sets or individual pieces though so that's a dealbreaker for me.

Search Gedore and will show all the mechanic and household sets.

think i'm gonna start putting money away in a cookie jar now for when these don't sell at those prices, at all, and go clearance in a year.

 

[kiatech]

They will fly off the shelf at these prices

Gedore 325-Piece Metric Mechanic's Tool Set with Hard Case @ 3795

Gosh, it's tough to decide.

Lowes has a lot of stuff online that you won't ever see in the stores as special order...

holy crack *****! is that ever expensive I have a few geodore wrenches and thought they were the same quality as the no brand china/taiwan ones they were hanging around with.

 

[leod]

Prices are too much, I wonder if these will go on clearance section

Looks to me like the decimal point was moved @ 2 places to the right accidently.

The older Gedore tools supposedly weren't/aren't as nice as the current production. Also, at one point Gedore manufactured a lower cost tool line in India. There was a recent thread on the Indian Gedore tools. The Indian tools weren't known for being pretty. There's also a South African Gedore that may have been set up as a different company. I'm not sure about the entire line from the South African division, but some of the products are also different production that are actually made in South Africa.

So ... uh who would the target audience for these sweet tool sets be?

The US GSA.

Here's a combination wrench for ONLY 231.77. Step right up.

A lot of our hand tools were bought on the impac card. The Snap-On guy was envogue when I left. We would do like parts kits and some consumables through GSA though. You could get some great stuff off from GSA if you spent the time going through it all, but what a mess in general. A lot of the prices were just stupid compared to Snap-On or local retailer for example. At times they made the Snap-On truck look like a bargain on wheels!

That's wild hopefully they come with a gnome or something that turns it for me.

 

[Duarte]

Shouldn't this be in the HOT deals section?

 

[woody 73]

Ok so one must ask are they being made in India like in the old Days...

 

[SigElite]

interesting that they come with tool trolleys I've never seen a big box store offer a complete set in a rolling case although I could never spend that much

 

[BearCuda]

So are these REAL prices and if so, whyyyy? Platinum? So riculous

Hardly, we get snap on online for 50% off of list everyday. Even with the discount through snap on industrial sales, you can still find Proto or SK cheaper.

Visit the Gedore website, their tools are far from cheap.

 

[mech-tech]

It might be who they are buying them through. A lowes employee explained to me that they can order almost anything since they have an agreement through grainger...but then he also told me that a guy came in to order a 24 volt dewalt battery until they priced it at $250 before tax!

 

[lwlobo]

I like Gedore, but that is absurd. If you really want that kind of stuff, try ebay.de and make some friends in Germany to ship them all over together at once for you.

 

[nicksnothereman]

Lol. The prices.

That's one hell of an allen wrench set for 30 bucks!
