As for the CM thin profile ratchets, they look great, but there is so much play in the mechanism of both 3/8 and 1/4 that they simply don't perform that well.

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00993053000P
I would like to get a set but here they are sloppy and jaws don't fit right. What is the general opinion of them?

Wow $104 for a standard 9/16" wrench and it's not even full polished! That is just funny.
I will kick in $10 towards a pool for someone to buy this wrench as long as the purchaser agrees to put extreme effort into wasting as much of Sears Customer Service Center resources and time as possible. If someone has a ton of free time and can call up and repeatedly cancel, pester, and point out the obvious price mistake as grounds for no real contract to buy being made or whatever B.S. they can think up, I will PayPal funds as soon as we have the purchase price covered. I would want a separate thread detailing the process so I can enjoy it.
I started to type this as a spoof but I am remembering my own private Service Center cluster-F moments and I am in if someone has the time and resolve to do this. Maybe going as far as setting up a new PayPal account to add another tool to use in returning the aggravation.
I'm not set on the terms and I have no idea if/how far this could be taken. The total cost would have to be raised because the buyer could very well be stuck with the wrench by the time all is said and done.
As to why I'm not offering to do this myself I am the damn model by which Sears Customer Dis-Service depends on: NO time to waste on hold contesting the latest on-line catastrophe (despite the occasional posting by yours truly I could never devote the free time this could take), a memory of Sears from the past that seems to trump the reality today, and being in-the-know enough that I get my share of decent values from Sears over the years, and until I blow my top I am really uncomfortable being pushy while after doing so I could easily be dismissed as a lunatic because of being in a state of near stroke.
While I still know a few great store salespeople I think even they would really enjoy following the saga.
To avoid having a bunch of replies in this thread here is a link to a new thread in the general tool section. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2290139#post2290139.
If this happens it would take a consensus as to who posses the skills, the self control, creativity, and the time to attempt this. I can't imagine it would be a new member. Hit up the new thread and air out your ideas, just not in this thread.
I will copy and paste this posting there.
I feel better already.

Some good deals, also keep in mind you can drop a Matco 88 tooth kit into those!
Oh no. I could have dealt without that knowledge.

Agreed.
I mean, i like these clearances as much as the next guy, but there's something absurd about resorting to selling Gearwrench ratchets at Harbor Freight prices just to move some inventory.
I bet they sell more Gearwrench ratchets TODAY than they have in the last YEAR.

All of the items are also listed here for quick perusal:
(http://www.sears.com/tools-hand-too...&keywordSearch=false&sbv=GearWrench&sbf=Brand)
And if you look through the complete Gearwrench selection, there's some pretty good prices on other items such as the long pattern & x-beam wrenches along with ball hex sockets and drive adapters.

Nice price on the pass-through XL set.
And i'm still finding it amusing that the ratchet "sets" are way more expensive than buying them separate.

3/8" Cushion Grip Teardrop is OOS.
I'm new here, so please forgive if this was already posted or is in the wrong place.
I just came back from Lowes with a new Hitachi framing gun that comes with a free 7 1/4" corded circular saw. Total price was $180. Saw was selling alone for $98. Today's the last day of the deal. (I don't need the saw, but thought the framing gun was a good deal by itself.)

Good Deal! Thanks Guys. This is my official first HOT Deal index buy. Until now, I have been using the Craftsman ratchets I got for Christmas in 1984.
I ordered one of each of the Gearwrenches. Not sure if i will like the cushon grips, but for that price I will take 'em as well. We'll see if they all come....
Did some quick Googling and found a list of rebuild kits for all of the non quick-release Gearwrench ratchets:
Matco 88 tooth rebuild kits:
AFR8TK (1/4")
BFR8TK (3/8")
CFR8TK (1/2")
GearWrench 60 tooth ratchets:
81011 (1/4")
81211 (3/8")
81304 (1/2")

the real question is... where can you buy them at?
Perfect example. I just left Sears. They gave me a $10 off $20 apparel purchase on receipt for the ratchets I just bought. Their Hane's socks were $15 for six pair. Walmart has the same socks $5.96 for six. Even at 50% off they still cost more. If they would have been within a dollar or two with the coupon I would've bought them.
I saw them back at full price today. I don't know how long it was.
