Not tool related, but Sears has Star Shower motion on clearance for $9.99. Free shipping on orders over $30. Plus, when I logged in I had $12 In free bonus cash to use. I ended up getting 4 of them for under $29 shipped. Too bad I'll just pack them away until next year, maybe try to sell a couple.

They dropped the free shipping threshold to $25 a couple months ago, and will be leaving it that way for at least another month.

Ha, good find. I guess that didn't show up when I searched because they called it "metric" while Sears called it "mm".
If you live in an area where there is Menards, they have the same set of 20 gearwrench wrenches on sale for 39.99 with 5 dollar mail in rebate, bringing it down to $35 ... at least they did when I was there on Sunday!
Even better!
I don't have one personally, but I'm sure some other members do.Menards "has approximately 300 stores in 14 states: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Kentucky. It is the third largest home improvement chain in the United States, behind The Home Depot and Lowe's."
This deal started yesterday, in effect for a month (until Feb 3, 2018): "Members get 50% CASHBACK in points when you purchase Grip Screwdrivers and Adjustable Wrenches at Sears. Points valid for 14 days. INSTORE and ONLINE"
As with all of these 'cashback in points' offers these days, there's no loophole, it's 50% of the out-of-pocket amount spent only, amounts paid with points don't count.
Edit: Doesn't apply to nearly as much as it sounded like. The only ones that I know so far are included are:

I’m not seeing any sign of this when I put adjustable wrenches in my cart and go to check out. How do we know which ones it’s valid on? Pretty cool if it worked for Knipex pliers wrenches. Stranger things have happened!
Here's the official list of closings announced today: http://searsholdings.com/docs/010418-store-closing-list.pdf
39 Sears and 64 Kmarts will be in liquidation from now till early April (a few of them closing earlier than that).
Mine are safe for now.

When you look at an eligible item's product page, it will say you get a huge amount of points back (e.g. $9.99 on a $19.99 item, instead of the usual $0.20 or so), right under the item's price.

You'd think from that description that it would apply to everything in the adjustable wrenches category, or at least everything in that category from Craftsman, but nooo.
But if your store disappears from pickup options and it wasn't on the closing list, don't panic, it's probably a glitch. Happened to my closest Sears a few months ago. I called the store after it had been like that for a few days, and the manager said they weren't closing, but something went wrong between the store's systems and the website's systems, that could only be fixed by the 'dot-com' support people. The manager had already filed a ticket about it, and the support people had claimed they would fix it within a couple more days. It actually took 2 weeks and multiple repeated inquiries, but it was eventually restored, and that store is fortunately still not among the latest closures announced.

Might want to check the older lists as there are many stores that will be closing mid-January.
As for the website, every Christmas they remove my hometown store for some reason so I can't browse to see what is in stock. I found a work-around that seemed to fix it. First I found my hometown store ID number when I went to lookup store locations. Then you simply adjust the "unitNo" in the URL (leave the initial zeros) to the store number of the location you want and it will switch to show inventory of that store. Ex:
http://www.sears.com/tools-hand-tools-screwdrivers/b-1021298?unitNo=0003229
Made it soooo much easier to find stuff for store pickup than having to just browse all then load a particular item and see if it would let me pickup in store.

Those were announced a couple months ago and have been in liquidation since shortly thereafter (with huge signs all over the place saying so, and gone from the website since then), so I think anyone near those locations would already know.
But here's that list too if you like: http://searsholdings.com/docs/110217_store_closing_list.pdfGood to know.
BTW, since the Hometown stores are local-owned franchises, they will probably be the last Sears B&Ms standing - Sears corporate doesn't decide when to close those, it's just a matter of when the local owner wants to quit or when Sears as a whole goes away.

After the store closure list came out, I put in one last order for the nearest Kmart store.
Just checked again, and the store is no longer a pickup option.
It also helps that they're no longer under Sears Holdings. These days, SearsHometown/SearsOutlet/SearsHardware are traded separately on the stock market.
ahh, my eyes got ahead of me, missed it on the bottom of the page.
for those of you who have had a sears close.. when does the liquidation/clearance start on tools? how are the deals/percent off? our store is the only one around here, next one is over 45 mins away. curious to see how this will go

don't bother going to the liquidation. Prices are cheaper from Sears now for most things, and you can still use points/offers. Everything gets priced at its regular super inflated price, then get slowly marked down when Sears hands the reigns over. The store will have more cars in it's lot than the whole last year put together once the 'going out of business' signs appear. Also merchandise you have never seen in a Sears will show up that the liquidator is trying to hawk.
maybe if there is something that never goes on sale at Sears,
okay probably not, but then you would have a chance of getting like 10% off, maybe 20% if it last that long.2manytools

surprised they let you redeem points there then. I enjoy the Hometown stores, but imagine many will turn into an Ace Hardware or True Value if there isn't one already in town when things so under

Yep, that's the case here in N. Colorado. Things are 20-40% off the historical high, which means that most of them could have been had cheaper before the closing. And it's amazing how much more traffic there is in the store now.don't bother going to the liquidation. Prices are cheaper from Sears now for most things, and you can still use points/offers.

There's so many weird half-orphaned branches of the Sears family tree, I can't keep straight all the permutations of how they all tie into the points program, but I know one of our Hometown shoppers in this thread was complaining that they don't give out new offers there that get triggered by shopping in regular Sears stores, and the Craftsman Industrial wrench thread revealed that you can't spend points at all at Sears Parts Direct but you can earn points there. I'm sure Hometowns only accept points spend because Sears forces them to as part of the agreement to license the Sears name/etc.
Yeah, that's what I expect too.

is anyone else noticing there is alot of stuff that is unavailable for purchase aside from your typical hand tools?
I have about 150 dollars of points to consume before feb and it seems everything i find a interest in is unavailable for purchase.
ex craftsman metal chop saw, craftsman fancy stud finder, craftsman air hose reel.

They are both streamlining products/ losing vendors and are horrendous with taking down products they no longer sell.

Yeah, apparently the points promo's for regular Sears don't apply to Hometown (or other independently owned stores). I have used coupons that say "online or in store" with my Hometown store, and also with the Hardware store when I lived in Houston. I just printed it out and took it with me. Sometimes they will scan and work, other times they have to manually apply the credit assuming you are following the fine print.
While they have pulled their SYW signage and don't ask you for it (because they get charged from Sears every time a person wants to use it), you *can* ask them politely to enter your SYW info to gain / redeem regular points and they will probably do it.
My big Sears 45min away is closing this month. My Hometown store that is closer just told me his lease is up in a couple months and he's not sure what he is going to do. I think a lot will depend on if he can find a suitable new location. But I give it probably 50/50 between closing up or moving. Bulk of his sales are appliances, with the usual spring boost on Lawn & Garden... Tools are small section of the store and a slow & steady thing, though in the past couple months I've noticed the last of the USA made stuff finally selling.

I know Knipex products are still on the site, but are the orders still being fulfilled? Sears have the propensity to forget to take things off the site and they have been dropping third party vendors. Anyone ordered Knipex from Sears recently?

If you order items to be shipped to your home, many things are drop-shipped direct from the vendor... I would assume Knipex would be one of those items.

I had points to burn before new year, so on Dec 31 I ordered a 3 piece set of Knipex Cobras with comfort grip. They show as being on the UPS truck today, so fingers crossed.
The last time I tried to buy Knipex with points they showed as shipped, but never showed up. I spoke to Sears "customer support" and they said I should chase Knipex up directly - they said they had the order but weren't able to ship the product - that was right before all of the Knipex was pulled from sears.com (I think it was last summer?). Anyway, seems like they are back for the time being, and my parcel shipped from Knipex Tools LP, Buffalo Grove IL. Last time they direct shipped Knipex to me it came from NJ as I recall.

I got some Knipex insulated tweezers, esd comfort grip snips before Xmas and those have been delivered. I just ordered a 10" pliers wrench a couple days ago, and should be delivered today.
I've also ordered some Wera products, and just like the Knipex, were shipped directly from the vendor
Wish more items are shipped in this manner. Past 2 to 3 years, the vendors have a good track record for shipping the correct items to me.
All my headaches are from orders shipped by Sears/Kmart store staff.
For the coupons that worked in-store at Hometown, did they actually state Sears Hometown? If yes, where can we find such coupons?
When I want to use a Sears dollar-off coupon at a Hometown store, I have to go when the manager will be there for an override or something.

I bought the mini pliers wrench with some points recently. Shipped out no problem. It looked like it was drop shipped. The Wera stuff appears to be drop shipped too.
The Knipex stuff that is available on the site does seem to change from day to day. There are a lot more very expensive tools and a lot more tweezers than Sears.com used to show a few months ago.
Knipex is drop shipped. Also Knipex and Witte are shipped from the same place which is good for free shipping, it counts as one package.
I was fortunate to catch a nice deal on one of the higher-end Craftsman stud finders in Sep 2017 ($60 model on sale for $42, and had points to cover most if not all of the rest). This one, which at some point they marked down even lower ($30), but is now unavailable even for ship-to-home: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-wall-scanner-with-ac-wirewarning/p-00949067000P?rrec=true# At the time I bought it, it was the last one of this model on the pegs at my local store, and none of the stud finders have been restocked since then. IIRC they now have no stud finders remaining locally of any models. Definitely looks like Sears lost whoever the vendor was for those.
About a month or two ago I ordered something to ship to my home (I think it was Knipex). I never got it. I chatted the customer service, and they return the points and money (I think it was mostly points). I would not be happy if they said to go chase Knipex directly.

The Craftsman models looked like Zircon to me.
