Would you like to sell me two sets? Just interested in the ratchets and extension really.

 

[diggerrick]

I finally picked one of these up today and still can't believe the ratchet by itself is $30. I think I'll pick up a couple more tomorrow if they're still around.

 

[heavychevy454ss]

I just picked one up today. They had 3 left. Can you say temptation!

Also bought one of the new lighted 1/2" drive ratchets for $12.97. I'm not sold on the light but a 1/2" drive ratchet for that price, I couldn't resist.

 

[lightning02]

Saw it online for $9.88. Went to store and they raised the price to $18. Wonder if they will lower it again.

 

[jptbay]

I set my store to MARQUETTE, MI 49855, and was able to order a couple @$9.88 shipped to my door for $5.99

Did you have them price check it? They had it marked incorrectly at the store when I bought mine, but it rang up as the online price.

 

[Burgerkong]

Anyone want to ship a set to Canada?

yea. it was changed online as well by the time i got there.

 

[Hafen_Kafer]

Made an upgrade to the locking set screw. Now I don't have to have an allen wrench to tighten it down.

 

[928'er]

Just stopped by the local Lowes.

Back up to $17.97 here. They were down to something like $12.58 but only for about a week before they went back up. (Online price also shows up as $17.97 from here).

I was hoping to pick up a few more at the sub $10 price, but doesn't look like that's going to happen. Lowes' pricing is screwy.

check diff stores near you. i have 3 or 4 of them near me and 2 had $18 and the other 2 where $9.88 and 9.99

 

[diggerrick]

Stopped by after work and the prices is back up to $17.97

Don't you think your time and gas would've made up for the $8 difference?

 

[diggerrick]

Not really - I came home the other way because of construction and had to drive right past Lowe's anyway. It's only a mile out of my way home anyway.

 

[928'er]

Not really

Next closest Lowes is about 40 miles away. Not worth the time/gas/bridge tolls.

Frankly, with Lowes dumping all the German and USA tools, there's really no reason to even go in a Lowes (or Sears) again.

If I want Chinese **** I can buy it for less at HF.

 

[alpinewhite]

Price goes back to $17.97 once the store if out of stock.

My local store used to have them for $9.98, but the price just went up to $17.97. The website shows that they are in stock at my store, and when I put quantity 100 into the cart, it says 15 are available.

Hmmm. Interesting data point.

My experience went as so:
Day1: I saw $9.88 online for my store.
Day2: I bought the last 3 in-store for $9.88.
Day3: I see online price go to $17.97
Day4: I returned ones I had bought at $15.97
Day5: I see online price go to $9.88
Day 10 or so: I see online price go to $17.97. I assume someone had bought the ones I returned.

Local Lowes has had the same 6 or 7 sets on display for weeks. They're not out of stock.

 

[Hootbro]

This thread has been going on for the last 5 months of them slowly sliding down on price. If you snoozed, you lose and nobody to blame but themselves.

 

[toolman0217]

They are $17.97 now in my local
Lowe's.

Same here

 

[Muffduster]

Time to finally kill this thread that annoyingly keeps getting bumped by multiple individuals.

Hang in there, the stock is almost out

 

[DanCo]

Or maybe just jealous that he doesn't have a set yet.

[sks]

Im gonna bump it one more time for him!

 

[AmericanPreferred]

Still costs less than when the thread started, but no longer considered a "hot deal"? Well played Lowes. Lowes has been king of this forum for a while now.

 

[diggerrick]

Not true - my store still had a few on the rack.

 

[Hafen_Kafer]

can you have your store send the other store some sets?

I didn't really consider them a 'hot deal' at $18. They are just a solid, nicely finished 72 tooth ratchet.

The only extra feature was the hinged handle, but that is bettered by the now-common pivot handle and double-hinged handles. A pivot handle is on-axis when upright and is thus easier to spin and reaches more recessed fasteners. A double-hinged handle offers the chance to clear additional obstacles.

At $10 they are a pretty good deal, especially if you put some value on the extension. Back at $18, they haven't gotten any hotter for me.

 

[AmericanPreferred]

I believe the thread starting price was $20.

 

[KaHuNaZ]

Yup. $20 for a $30 ratchet, extension, and 2 spark plug sockets. I was happy to pick up my first ratchet for $20. I have to admit, I actually felt a little guilty picking more up at under $10 a piece.

 

[jfcasey]

I just got my second one, this time for 9.98. It actually rang up at 20 but I showed the cashier the sticker on the hook and she adjusted the price

 

[foreverfalcon40]

I had no idea these were fine tooth at 77, I will be in for these. Better then my C-Man and I was trying to get the GR 120.

 

[lightning02]

******* POS lowes canceled my order. **** them.
