that Blu Hawk BOGO deal seems pretty good
checking it out right now
checking it out right now
I was thinking that too, but last time I looked they looked pretty low quality. Even at that price, I'm nervous I'd just be throwing $10 away. Anyone have experience with them?

Got the Bora 50" clamp for plywood for 6.50 ordered it and they actually pulled it for me.
my lowes now has the yellow handle center cut wiss cutters on clearance for 699. they are replacing wiss with some brand called project sourse. they retail for 8.58. lowes is getting lower and lower quality with their tool section. home depot really has one up on them in the quality of tools dept, even though lowes sometimes has more of a selection. more homeowner/china stuff i should say.

the Lowes local to me will take a 9.99 tool and mark it down to 9.49 for clearance. No kidding here. Even on clearance, their tools are higher than you can get the same on amazon, sears or elsewhere.
The Lowes here does about the same thing. Now they have clearance tags all over the place. They seem to put about every third item in the store on "clearance" sale. Only thing is, the items are only about 10% off the regular price.
The only time you can get a real discount on something is when they are getting rid of it because it's not moving or when they are replacing the whole line of good quality stuff with some chineeze junk. That's the way it appears, anyway.
I was thinking the same thing...With the recent clear-outs on the Knipex electrical tools, Bessey Clamps, and others, I can't help but wonder at what point I won't even look for tools there because the quality will be so low I'll just go to Harbor Freight.
Thank god I have a pretty robust tool collection now and I have good, USA made versions of most of the stuff I use regularly.
Just brought some home. The point about chrome was a good one; there's a stiff square "bar" as part of the handle with sharp chrome that would dig into one's hands over very little time.
The open and box ends actually seem tolerably finished, so as far as the most basic job of not rounding stuff off, these should do okay-ish. And they "meet ANSI standards", whatever those are.
The only cheaper wrenches are the super cheap HF ones from india that bend at the box end and the Big Lots style. I'd spring the few extra bucks for Chinese Kobalts... which you can trade up if you bust.
Also they include 3/4 and 19mm but not 18mm, a bummer. At least they don't stop at 5/8 like some other cheezy homeowner fathers day gift packs tend to.

Our Lowes outside Pinehurst has replaced all the Wiss with Project Source and Stanley, both coo of China.

yea, I stopped in for yard stuff and did my usual tool walk through. I got a closer look at those wrenches. I'll pass!

Just ordered a 3 pack of Wiss snips 16.85 after 10% code. I know they have them because I saw 2 in the store last week. That's what they show in stock. Lets see if they fill it. I'm 1 for 1 as of this weekend with Lowe's, they actually filled my Bora clamp order.

I had no idea Lowes carried shoes.
And I'm deeply confused why they would be listed in the 'mail box post' category.

Google it and you will get a bunch of codes to use online. I haven't found a printable one yet that will work in store though

I think we were a test market for the shoes/boots. They did not sell much at all.
They were in the tool dept on an end cap

FYI-I pulled up an online code on my phone for $10 off $50 for Lowes....They could not use the code but they still gave me 10% my total order.
Never hurts to ask
Saved me $8

Still $51.70 in my area. No discounts.
Do you have a photo of the price tag? That can do wonders for getting a store to price match it.

Still regular price because there is no inventory showing anywhere from Renton south in WWA.

Picked up an 8pc set of SAE "Power Cross" wrenches for $15.11...the good Taiwan kind. #254676
Probably won't help you guys, since it looks like they're already off of the website. Your stores probably have none.
