This scares me.... But, I guess with lowes stock getting smaller, it makes sense.

That's interesting. They are still Knipex, not Craftsman branded??

 

[jrodc455]

Yeah our store has been getting a lot of knipex and crescent brand pliers in.

I have had craftsman branded knipex for about 3 years same pliers just say craftsman not knipex

When I was at a store about a week ago, they had a bunch of new knipex products in the cart that they use to stock the shelves. There was no indication of where the product was going to go but I guessed it is probably a replacement for the Craftsman Pro Pliers that are on clearance. I was going to ask one of the guys at the counter but they were busy with buying customers so I did not bug them.

Saw them too in store on Monday.
Hope another good brand doesn't get dragged through the mud.

cool. i like the idea of having another place i can actually go buy them in person. lowes is the only place i've found that sells em. do they have a decent selection? i had seen they've had knipex in their tool catalog but never saw it in stores.

 

[expatriated]

Do they have the smooth jawed pliers? Lowe's never carried those and they're one of the best products Knipex makes

Interesting... been meaning to try it out. Was able to add the 10" pliers wrench to my cart for $36 for in store pick up. ($50 on amazon) Might have to try it out!

Nothing new really. Knipex (and even Rothenberger) has awlays been available though Sears mail order or Sears catalog. I guess now they're just going to start carrying them in the store. Maybe it's their way of apologising to their loyal tool customers for dropping the ball on Craftsman quality over the years.

I doubt Knipex at Sears stores will sell any better than it does at Lowes. Mostly the proferssionals will be the ones willing to pay that kind of money for a tool like Knipex. Most modern DIYers and home tool users rarely spend that much on tools, that what the Evolve tool line is meant for.

Besides, just think of what would likely happen to Knipex if they didn't have an outlet to retail their tool line here in N. America. Good campanies have ceased to exist because they could no longer move their product or market them properly.

Yeah our store has been getting a lot of knipex and crescent brand pliers in.

Why the Crescent branded pliers? Sears should just stay with selling Channellock. Crescent was a good plier at one time, seem like the last few new pairs I've seen were pretty shoddy.

I'm really surpised after all these years that Wilde Tool Co has done little to market their own brand of pliers in stores like Ace and Sears. They make pliers for other brands, but it's been years since I last saw a new Wilde branded pliers in a hardware store. Even some of the other companies nd brands they make pliers for have recently dropped them in favor of off-shore products. Not sure how they are surviving these days.

I saw them last week at my sears hardware store,they were out,but not hanging up. They had them sitting on the bottom shelf with a price sticker on each individual item.

 

[bchee]

I think $36 is a decent price for the 10"

What code gives the extra 10% off?

I got the 15% off to work, but don't know the codes for the others. Any hints?

 

[fr0mastaj]

I have no idea... I just added it to my cart. It must have been through some discount link i used prior.

Try this one, maybe? : http://slickdeals.net/?pno=49663&lno=1&afsrc=1

 

[bart1]

I can't get that page to come up - may be a firewall issue at work. I'd go get these today if I could get the price that low. I'll see if I can do it on my iPhone.

What code gives the extra 10% off?

It was posted on here a few times by others, so the credit belongs to them. Coupon is "tlsthanks" to get the extra 10%

 

[porphyre]

It used to be TLSTHANKS... but I just tried that and it didn't work. I guess it expired.

I don't know, all the Crescent ones are made in Taiwan and China, maybe they're just bringing them in as a cheap line of pliers to even out the regular Crapsman and the Knipex.

I just went to Sears through the link provided by fr0mastaj and a 5% AAA discount showed up. I was also able to get the 10% off with tlsthanks, so I got them for $36.33. Thanks guys!

Still works, but it can't be used on certain items (the same way it has been). Doesn't like "online only" pricing. Add the pliers linked on page 1 and try the coupon again. it still works.

 

[hoffmand]

Thanks. Coupons worked for me, $36.33. Used up the last of my 50% Sears gift card from a few months ago.

 

[bart1]

Got them for $38 with the TLSTHANKS code. Going to pick up after work - this was my most wanted Knipex item. Thanks!

 

[leod]

now we need to have the 7in in store
and also petition for have those Wera goodies as well

 

[FredB]

I saw them today at the Sears that I stopped in, they were in a pile on the bottom shelf with no price sticker or pricing anywhere.

 

[Bobby.T]

Great price on great pliers. I'm picking mine up this afternoon, $38.24 plus tax.

And my new Wera socket set is arriving today--It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

 

[bart1]

My Sears had several of them out, but no Cobras. They also did look like they had less Channellock and more Crescent and Irwin.

They also had the Schroder made Craftsman sawdriver on sale for $8.88 from $25 or so.

Gitty up:
