Hey, pretty good price on the mini bolt cutter,

They really cut well. I recently installed a new transmission pan on my daughters' Chevy lumina. Pan had drain plug where magnet sat. I cut the magnet in half with cutters. Clean easy cut. Now 1/2 the magnet is on one side of drain plug and the other half on the other side.

I'll second that. These things are great to have around. I think that I snagged them for around $25 a couple years back at Sears. But I haven't seen them this cheap in awhile. Might be a good price to go for, especially if you have coupons or surprise points to use up.

I got $10 in surprise points. Am I better to use these on the Knipex bolt cutters or something else? I could use a set of the picks on sale and torx screwdrivers, but I don't know which I'd use more.

I'd recommend the Knipex bolt cutters. They cut like a hot knife through butter. Simply amazing how such a small tool can cut so well. Cuts better than my 24" regular bolt cutters.

Not sure if this has been posted:

$105.59 Craftsman 12-amp, 2-hp Fixed/Plunge Base Router with Soft Start Technology
NOT a Hot Buy

I just purchased this. I was able to use a $15 off 100 coupon from Retail Me Not, 6% CB from Ebates, 5% off for Sears card, $10 in points on $50 purchase promotion, $20 in points on 75 puchase coupon, and a 15% discounted giftcard off Ebay. Ended up being less than $50 all things considered. Reviews are good, and I could use a portable router with a plunge base.

Wow.... I didn't think that it was possible to stack things like that anymore. You deserve a gold star!

Craftsman routers seem to have all been on clearance lately. It looks like they have a new, digital model out now.

I am not so sure about the digital power tool thing.
Course, I never had one, but on something like a table saw, Radial arm saw, or Router, just seems like more to go wrong.
Now a DRO in a lathe , Mill, and the like, is a different thing.

Yeah, it was quite a feat. The last couple orders would not let me use the 5% Sears card discount unless I was actually paying with the card, but this time it was automatically deducted and went through ok. For the coupons, you can usually stack a $ off with a $ back in points.

No idea myself, but I'm sure somebody else on here will chime in. I'm usually a little leary of Cman power tools, but the ones I own have held up well to my limited use and this one has pretty solid reviews.

What's the cheapest item I can buy at Sears? I've got $10 off $25 in surprise points - tools, paint, lawn and garden. I need to round out a $24.99 purchase.

Both are the same price - I might actually use the pencil someday. Too bad there's nothing for a dime or a quarter. Can't figure out how to do a global tool search on price.

With your Sears online orders, you can get as aggressive as those extreme couponing mommies that hold up the line at grocery stores! :twisted:

Lower your cost:
Dollar-off coupon (not on Hot Buys)
Sears credit card discount (minimum $0.01 charged on card)
Surprise points (some exclude coupons)
Discounted Sears/Kmart gift card (15-20% off)
Cashback portal

And earn points for future purchases:
Bonus points coupon
Website bonus points promo
SYW MAX member bonus points promo for specified department
SYW MAX 5% bonus if you choose in-store pickup

don't forget the occasional "Craftsman Club Members" discounts that pop up here and there for random stuff.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I prefer to start stacking when there's a sale price, Craftsman Club offer, or Deal Heist.

Though, sometimes you need an item right away, and you're stuck starting off with the regular full price.

That is what I do. I make a list of things I want. Every week I check my list for items on sale. Then stack the points/coupons. If nothing is on sale, I wait until the next week. And look again. I do get a few sideways looks from the wife. When she would ask "when are you ever going to need that?" Not sure but it was pennies on the dollar.

I do something similar,, like right now I have $15 in surprise points, but if I combine it with a $15 off $100 my surprise points go to zero. I'll try a different combination over the weekend, maybe I can save myself 15 bucks, if not no big deal I will just wait on getting the stuff.

The website forces me to pick a category - "screwdrivers", "wrenches", etc.. I don't seem to be able to search above that level. Am I missing something?
Click to expand...

Hmm. On the desktop site I just search "craftsman", then it asks me to select a main category (tools, outdoor, clothing), then it shows me all Crsftsman in that category.

If I search "tools", then it brings me to the tool category screen where I have to select a tool category

Ahhh, right you are, Spn. The key is clicking on the box in the lower right hand corner, "Discover more in this category >".

Took some old wrenches in to be warrantied and one came back discontinued and 2 were going to have to be ordered. They said they could give me store credit for the discontinued wrench so I asked if they would give me store credit for the other 2 (I didnt really want the Chinese wrenches). They said sure so i walked out with $17 in store credit for 3 old wrenches that i didnt need. Went home and with $15 in surprise points I was able to order the 3pc pro pry bar set for $23 out the door. I have needed a pry bar set for awhile so this worked out perfect.

Then click 50% off tab, nothing else is worth buying.
Click to expand...

I usually do 30% off, as there can be some decent deals in the 35-49% off range. I then sort by price low-high, as the higher priced stuff (>$200) is tool boxes and Chinese tool sets that I'm not interested in.

What am I missing? They are showing over $600 for these crimpers on google search.

The price on sears is showing 699.08 with a savings of 628.91.

Are they that good of a crimper?

How'd you get the 15 off 100 and $10 surprise points to stack? If I add the coupon, the points go away.

Ordered the mini bolt cutters, pry bar set, and the 3pc slim ratchet set for $94 after points ($11 from previous purchase and $15 off $100) and received $11 more for today's purchase.

Slowly building up a collection. Now I need some good socket sets for 1/4" and 3/8" drive.

I didn't have actual surprise points, just coupons for points back.

I tried to order another item, and I'm having a similar experience to yours. My surprise points show they are good on a "qualifying purchase" which excludes using coupons. That's probably the problem you are having.
