Anyone want to ****** up one of these cheap ones and send it too me? You can even keep the 2 sockets.

Went buy the one in Sonora three times but never can find them. So I decided to ask. What a pain. Anyway after 30 min or so of looking they said "we have 23 in stock since march and none ever sold, but we will find them and call you." So I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I had that happen at HD with the last batch of the Klein plier sets. They showed 8 in stock but could never find them. I had them order them from another HD in another city and ship them to their store...

Did the HF-Kobalt flex switcharoo with one of the HF flex segments.

I think I'm covered for most obstructions now.

(Yes, I did assemble a triple flex ratchet. It was a bit much, though)

$9.88 here as well. I had to do a double take as I walked past them. I bought 2 more. That makes #5 and #6 for me.

I bought one as a gift for $17, bought one for $15 to put in an emergency tool box. Both times I felt like I was basically stealing them. Hard to believe they are marked down below $10 now! I might buy another just to find someone to give it to.

Not at my Lowes. It's still $15.98. I checked today at lunch. Maybe I'll try a few other stores in the area tomorrow .

I bought my initial set 60 days ago for $17.** and today they price matched it down to $9.88. They told me they only do that up to 30 days but they got manager approval to do it for me. Otherwise just buy one at $9.88 and return it on the original receipt. You can do returns for 90 days.

Thank you sir, I knew there had to be a way to beat the system. I am at 61 days. I wasn't sure if they could somehow individually track the serial number. :lol_hitti

If they hit $5, I know what my friends are getting for Christmas this year :lol_hitti Then again by that time they will probably be $0.99 each.

really wish they would do something like this in a 1/2'' drive set. i have no need for anymore spark plug sockets or 3/8'' ratchets.

If they are still at $15 or whatever at your store then have an associate price check them, corporate sets pricing on that stuff, it have probably slipped through the cracks. In Inside Lawn/Garden at our store they were $15 but over in Tools they were $9.98. Its a huge store and some stuff just slips through the cracks.

My wife picked up the last 4 at the closest store tonight for Xmas gifts........but there are many other stores in a 20 mile radius that still have some left surprisingly. What a deal for ~$10.

$9 and change at my Lowes down the road in San Antonio, Tx. Had a ton left, a ton of stuff on clearance actually. I'm gonna go back and get a tool of each, almost all were 50% off.
