[Exceller8]

Wow, I hope they have some in my area.

 

[rockchucker]

Hmmm...Heading to HD soon. I will check out one of the Seattle stores.

 

[furious_pete]

Do you know the SKU (item number) for that particular set? It make it easy to check inventory online.

As much as I hate the new Rice Grips I may see if my store has any. My guess would be someone is gonna buy em all and they'll be at the flea market next week for $12 a pack...

They were dusty as hell so I bet they were old stock. The were near the clearance section but not in it. May have just been this store. Only 4 pairs on the rack

Went to my HD and they were marked 9.95. Scanned them and They were 5 bucks. Night 5 pair for gifts. Good find. Thanks

I'm disappointed. My home depot doesn't stock the two piece set.

Good find though, I was about to buy a few. I might check out a different home depot tomorrow. Any idea how long the deal lasts?

Ditto..... Was hoping for a set! Oh well!

 

[Tribalvision]

My store had the rubber handles too. The clearance ones were off to the side hanging on a rack, not with the other pliers.. Just fyi

[rockchucker]

If I need to go there I will check again. Printed out the number so I can have them scan it and check stock. Ding! (light turns on) Hmmm....I will call the store and ask.

Yeah no go...

Either or...Thanks for the heads up!

I bought a set of the right angle snips thinking i would find a use for them.... Two years later i took them out of my tool box an put them in storage. I have yet to find another brand of snip that i prefer over midwest though. Odd that HD carriers the right angle and several other products from Midwest but they dont carry offsets. Menards was stocking them for a bit but seems to have phased them out.

It seems the right angles would be great for overhead work, but my work is primarly shop fabricated work and architectual metal installation. Neither require overhead use of snips. if you find a good use for them please share as i would be interseted to see what capaicty others utilise them in.

I can confirm the deal in Detroit area. There were a ton of these both in Rochester and Auburn Hills.

 

[swm5126]

Picked 10 of them up today at the Home Depot in Perrysburg, OH (Toledo area, off i75 on Fremont Pike). They still had a bunch left, I didn't clear them out. The tags say "Special Buy - $9.99" but they ring up at $5. The Home Depot where I live (Bowling Green, OH) doesn't seem to carry them.

 

[TinKnocker]

Lebanon Ohio had none

 

[hammlm]

My local HD had no twin packs of the vice grips either. They did have 5 each of the midwest right and left snips. I got one of each at that price. Wished they would have had the irwin's, though.

 

[Tribalvision]

I stopped at another HD today to grab some more for my friends and again I didnt see them with the pliers and other vise grips. They had them on one of the ends of the isle in the tool corral. They are usually not with the pliers, but hanging alone elsewhere in the tool section. Look around. I grabbed 4 more pairs today. they still had 7-8 left.

 

[twincam00]

None left in either of the Green Bay stores

I'll be looking for some tommorrow, as much as I hate China made stuff.

I hear ya, just too good of a deal to pass up. Plus being China made I won't mind using these for sacrificial purposes.

Unfortunately my home deport had none. They did have a bunch of husky pliers/snip sets for $5 and $8 I will say I was tempted.

Does anyone know how the Husky lifetime guaranty works?

Like welding? That's the whole reason I already have a couple pair of el cheapo chicom imitations.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Just came home, none in Ontario, Ohio (Mansfield)

 

[wellpoison]

None here in Johnstown pa. They did have some Chinese brand pos ones for 5. Didn't buy them. Still have a couple pairs of the Midwest snips for 5 too

 

[juiced10]

Friend of mine is a manager in Cicero NY and told me somebody came in a couple hours before I called her and bought them out. She said he told her he saw a post on a forum. I want to say DAMN YOU!

 

[metaldad]

Stopped in at 2 orange boxes in Du Page Co. Regular price.

 

[Richard Cranium]

From what I have been told is that they are a special purchase, I checked all four stores with in 1 1/2 hours of my home and was told the same from each, none in stock, but 25 on order, unknown when or if they will get them... Rich

 

[RedFordTruck]

Heres another set. They're also ChiCom but its BOGO

[padronanniversary]

I can confirm Plymouth MN. Bought ten packs This time, I did leave 1

 

[Richard Cranium]

I just went down and got some, was told that they just got them in today, Yakima Washington store, they got 24 sets, was also told that all the Washington state stores should of gotten them in today.... Rich

 

[Richard Cranium]

I just checked fleebay, and there is 3 different people that has these sets for sale, It just kind of rubs me the wrong way, but I guess there is always people out there trying to make a buck off of some one else. I have another name for them but it would probally get me kicked off g.j. Rich.....

Why? If someone can get these cheaper from feebay than anywhere else locally and the seller can make a buck it sounds like a win win to me.

It would get me mad too, but when you think about it that is the way the free world works.

 

[Richard Cranium]

this is just like the 3/4 drive craftsman socket sets, there was so many people that could use the tools and were basically begging for the socket sets and none to be had, because so many people had bought them and was and are still selling them on fleebay...Rich

 

[bryanrj]

I found them in Phillipsburg,NJ. They were not on the floor but in back and not slated to be out until the "fourth quarter". I noted to the guys who helped me that October is in the last quarter, but no, they corrected, in retail the last quarter starts in November. But they brought out six sets of them of the 48 they had. Thanks to the OP for posting sales slip. That made it easy for them to verify inventory. Took a bit longer for them to figure out that it was still in back. Possibly some stores are holding back until November to bring them out, but they rang up at $5 each. And I got 10% off for being retired military with id.

 

[mjl44]

People selling items, materials, stocks, whatever for more than they bought them for sounds like normal business to me..

 

[Foxxtrot]

Just picked up 2 of these from my local HD. "Bob" found them in the back. He theorizes that they are holding them until Christmas and will set them up as part of that. I am going to keep checking and see if I can't catch them with a few more to use as gifts. These 2 sets are going in my tool kits.
