I was at Sears today too and a bunch of pliers were on sale, as well as adjustable wrenches and a couple of the chisel sets. Leatherman Micra's were $12 on clearance, I grabbed a couple of those.

Some vise grip sets were on sale too,I got the two-pack of 9SP clamps with the rubber tips,I think they were $23,down from $33.

I think they had a 2-pack of the regular vise grips with the rubber grips,and the small 6SP clamps were on sale :confused:

The one I go to still has a bunch of NOS made in USA stuff on the shelf so I was ok.....

I was going to purchase the CL linesman pliers but I'm too hung up on Knipex right now :lol_hitti

Also, I wish they would put their embroidered US flag on sale once in a while!

I was at Lowe's yesterday and noticed they still had a few sets on the shelves. I nearly picked one up, then decided "how many of these do I really need?" I've got one set at work, and I suspect that's all I really need. I've got to be careful to keep my "hoarder gene" in check at times. ;)

Same here. Was not familiar with them before the deal, but picked up a set. Have used them several times now.....very nice & grippy.

Witte 5-Piece Screwdriver Set, Beechwood Handles with Leather Protection Caps, Made in Germany.

$25.77 half of amazon price free ship to store.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Witte-5-Piece-Screwdriver-Set-Beechwood-Handles-with-Leather-Protection-Caps/15162109#rr

link to amazon for comparison:
http://www.amazon.com/WITTE-620307-5-Piece-Phillips-Screwdriver/dp/B0017SWZFM


Witte sold at walmart??? WTF? That's not a bad price though at $5 a driver and it would look great in a garage or woodworking shed. I'm going to bookmark that link and may end up getting it :)

By the way, felo also makes two different 5 piece wood handled sets. The main difference as far as I can tell is the shape of the wood handle. One set is priced at like $25 on amazon and the other is like $35 plus shipping. I think I'd prefer the handle style of the more expensive one if I were to choose between the two.


Speaking of walmart, I noticed that the 94 piece channellock socket set is on clearance for $30 plus free shipping to the local walmart. I really don't know what the quality of these are like and they are imported from either china or taiwan but they have a lifetime warranty for what that's worth. If anyone knows if this set is decent or not for the price please share...

Does anyone have the Witte beechwood handles? Just curious how everyone likes them.

I have them. I bought them specifically for use on my [wooden] boat so I wasn't always getting sanding dust in my automotive-use drivers. For the $15 or so I paid (amazon), I'm perfectly happy, but they aren't anything special.

The tips seem to be pretty good - certainly compared to standard Craftsman or the like - but the handles weren't finished all that well. I decided to put a few coats of Interlux varnish on them before the first use. This might have its own drawbacks for some though, because now the handles are quite smooth.

Also, it sure looks like this same driver is sold by a bunch of different tool companies (some with different handle shapes), so if you want them I'd check prices on all the others.

For example, Felo:

I know having a finish on a wood handled tool can help protect it but functionality wise, it is actually better if it is unfinished. I have a marshalltown golden stainless trowel with a curved wood handle for example. Its wood handle has absolutely no finish on it whatsoever and I actually like that. It really helps 'stick' to your hand when in use compared to a smooth slick plastic-like finish applied on a wood product. Having no finish on it makes it feel slightly softer on your hand too. Just FYI based on my experience...

Those are very nice sockets, especially for the price. I think I gave $18.88 + tax for mine at WalMart. :thumbup:

Good deals. I think Stanley from Wal-mart is really underrated/overlooked. I'd put it a good step above Craftsman in quality from what I've seen (ratchets and sockets).

No, that set was never $45, and it's not an $80 value. It's a Black Friday/Christmas "special buy" that pops up once a year, maybe again around father's day.

I bought a similar set 2-3 winters ago and absolutely hate everything but the spades.

For the Canucks: PEAVEY MART is having an awesome sale - specifically, they have metal storage lockers on for $159.99. They are SUPER deep (20") and double doored. The metal is THIN, but bent on edges and rough-powdercoated which makes them reasonably durable (nothing like them "safes" Olsen has!). I picked one up for my paints and flammable materials (finally!):

As well, picked up these 5" cut-off wheels (true 1/8") for 1.99 each and the 14" chop saw blades for 3.99 each. The framing hammer was $7!

A few days late on this one but for those that have been interested in home automation, Radio Shack is clearancing out all of their GE and Schlage Z-Wave products. Up to 83% off!

The Trane thermostats are great for $59 (Reg. $149). I just installed one last night, got it setup on the Schlage LiNK system and I'm controlling it from work now. You can also setup over 200 more devices on the system as long as they are Z-Wave compatible.

Flex compact 10.8v Lithium-ion Drill/Light set. ToolBarn.com has it on clearance for $59.99 plus shipping. It's made in Germany so if you only buy American, it's not for you.

I ordered the 1/4-inch Impact Driver ($64.99) but they sent the Drill/Light set instead. I decided to keep the drill and they're sending the driver for the same total price. I'll have four batteries that way. To give you an idea of size, the Flex drill compared to a B&D 18v Ni-Cad. I wasn't interested in the light but now that I see it, it's pretty neat for working under the car and not having a cord under the creeper wheels.

Comes with case and charger.

my bad. i figured there was no way it would ever be an $80 value. 14 bucks for all that it came with is a really good deal either way.

I know that Flex is a German company but all of the past reviews of the driver on this site have said it was made in Taiwan? Does it actually say made in Germany on it?
