If you got $5 freecash, you may want to get the 16' Sidewinder at Sears:
Craftsman 16-Foot Sidewinder Tape Measure $7.49
Looks interesting. Is it really a better mouse trap after you use it for a while?

I suppose this is relatively hot, so I'll post here & the SYW thread. If you purchase something in store right now, even with an offer like the free $5, the transaction will activate a Freecash offer to spend starting 1/1/18 (good online & in-store). I got $12 spend, guy in front of me got $10.
$8.99 - Craftsman Mach Series Speed Bit Driver Handle (Sears must have dropped this at some point, b/c there used to be reviews, which indicated it was just so-so)

I thought you were kidding about doing too many searches, the limit must be like ten searches, which is not hard to reach given their coding.Craftsman Max Axess wrench in METRIC - these are supposed to be pretty good, made in China wrenches. Got to buy these piece by piece but the discount is pretty great imho.

I believe you can get the SAE from Sears Outlet - there was a discussion about this maybe a month or two ago, but the metric set is not available anymore.
Sorry for not posting the link to each wrench. Sears already banned me for doing too many searches, thinking I am a robot.
Anyone try the ratchet in some of the newer tool sets?
Craftsman 42-PC SOCKET WRENCH SET
EDIT: Q&A on another page indicates they're 45-tooth.

Just ordered a set for store pickup thanks this kit has a few items i am missing. Good price with points got it for $20.00 hard to pass up.
I bought the set a few weeks ago. The ratchet isn't bad and not like the raised panel version. I wouldn't use it everyday though. The bits aren't bad, maybe Tekton'ish quality. Good enough for me since I only work on my cars.

Does it feel like a 45-tooth ratchet?
I thought the 75-tooth ratchets were replacing the 36-tooth raised panel versions, but then this comes along.
Let us know if it turns out to be a DeWalt hole saw.

Nope actually got the right tool pulled up to my store hit in vehicle pickup. 30min. later went in to see what was going on totally ignored my order waiting on people that came in after me. Finally got help allways show them ID and pick up my tool guy would not give me my tool i forgot to take a copy of my online order REALLY!!!!!!!
If you already got a wide tape measure like a FatMax, then I suppose the Sidewinder's biggest selling point about not tipping over won't be that useful. The other notable features are the blade auto-lock and pull-out tang.

did anyone order the pinless SAE 9 PC 1/2" swivel impacts on blackfriday when it was under $100? http://www.sears.com/craftsman-industrial-9-piece-inch-impact-1-2-inch/p-00999664000P?rrec=true. Its now not available for shipping or pick up. My order keeps getting pushed back, it was only offered for store pick up on black Friday when it showed in stock. went to pick up a few different orders expecting them to be there since it said it would be ready by Dec 5th, not there and then it said 12/14 and never updated, went to pick up them up along with some other stuff tonight and now its showing 1/28/2018 for pick up, never updated until I pull up my orders in store for pick up. Guessing there never going to show at this point.

And they claim this is a $100 set. HA!! I would have been pissed if I’d paid $15. Here’s a closeup that represents the entire set. Mind you, this was the better of the 2.

I have this set on my list of things I like to have, but now I am not so sure. Thanks for sharing @LoveOldIron![]()
I picked up one of these yesterday. Worst quality I have ever seen, including harbor freight. You could hear pieces moving around in the case, and the case was bulging in the center. I popped the zip tie, opened it up, and was greeted with sockets all over the place. Everything was smudged and scratched. A couple had some kinda black **** on them. I figure they did an HD, and gave me someone’s return, so I went right upstairs to exchange for a new one. I grab a new set, open it at the counter, and it looks only slightly better than the first. I even had to switch a socket cause the bit was off 15*. I guess the first wasn’t a return after all, and that’s just the way they are. If it hadn’t cost me just $9.36, it would have gone back for a refund.

Watch for your Sears cancellation email. Just got an email saying I'd be receiving a refund in 24-48 hours
Man I am tempted those are a really good deal.The Craftsman professional 3pc. pry bar sets with the red and black handles are currently $29.99 this morning. I couldn't resist and ordered another set.
