All of the General brand tools were 50% off yesterday at my local store. When I asked about it, I was told that they just received a big shipment but were no longer going to be selling them in the store.

Good to know.

Nearest two Sears stores sold off the last of their General stuff last year for 50% off, but I'll try to stop by on the weekend to see what they restocked.

Question everybody
If I buy from a Sears Hometown and spend the $75 on qualifying tools and use my SYW rewards card during checkout will I receive the $50 dollars in points? I plan to have my order shipped to the house not go pick it up. Just curious. Thanks

Buying one or more items through Sears.com, that has its product pages labeled "sold by Sears" and that says it qualifies for that offer, where you don't use points/offers to reduce the order's pre-tax total below the required amount, will get you the points regardless of where it's shipped from/to or where you pick it up from. I don't know what you mean by "buying from a Sears Hometown" in this context, but any kind of transaction other than what my first sentence describes won't get the points.

Edit to add: Not gonna make another reply for this, but note the "in this context" part... yes, I know what Sears Hometown is. :p Since apparently you meant buying through the Hometown-dedicated website, that is something people who hang out in this thread rarely do, since it generally means fewer offers/sales, and you can do in-store pickup at Hometown stores through the regular Sears.com instead.

No you won't sadly unless the promo explicitly states for Hometown stores (which it won't because Hometown stores are trying to separate themselves from SYW points).

If you can order it on the sears.com website and it's shipped & sold by sears then yes, even if you go pick it up at a hometown.

Back when Sears was doing the 10 back for every 40 before christmas I did get points when ordering through sears hometown website. Also worked for the similar November deal.

I had the same thing happen with an outlet order. I've never seen that before and it wasn't advertised. Almost tried it with this $50 BIP offer going on now.

Are all these $50 cashback deals 7 days only?

There were a couple similar offers early last month that had a 14-day expiry on the points received. All of them since then (and the number of them seems to be multiplying) have been 7-day.

Thanx, almost got caught letting them expire!

Yep, that's what Sears is hoping will happen. ;)

Yeah, they've been shortening the expiration on these offers. Originally, they didn't expire...then it was a year, then 90 days...then two weeks, now one week. It's always been fine print too and the past two years the "expiring points" can't always be guaranteed to show. Sometimes it only shows on SYW, sometimes it only shows on Sears/Kmart, every few months it seems to change.

I had like $30 expire. I just called up and told them I'm still in the return window. If they don't want to credit me back I'll just return the items. They just gave me the points back without any issues.


I think I'm going to pick up a set of Deep Impact Evolv's in In/Metric with the $40 in points I have. Seems like many of the Evolvs are still stock from Taiwan.

I'm seeing the ship-to-store option become available on a lot of tools that my nearest Sears stores already got rid of.

Some have got arrival dates as far off as May, so maybe they're doing ship-store-to-store, to help stores that failed to get rid of these items.

May? Wow that's pretty far off... Perhaps they are expecting a shipment to come from overseas? Or maybe planning on inventory after some stores close in April?


I got my package from Sears yesterday, a metal chuck & screw for my cordless drill... Guess what was in the package... Yup, just the screw! Chatted with Sears online, and even though I ordered through them they said I would have to talk to SearsPartsDirect about it since they can't access that info...

Wasn't looking forward to the call, but I called and talked to a nice guy that hopefully made things right. He knew who I was (guessing based on Caller ID) and since I didn't have a parts direct order number I didn't know what to do but he was able to pull up the info quickly without me giving him any sort of #. Told him I got the screw but not the chuck. So he did his thing and I got an email confirmation of a replacement chuck but the ETA is February 22nd! (almost 2 weeks)... Hoping it will come sooner than that, but at this point I will be happy if I just get the correct item...

I have the Craftsman Scriber, it unscrews all the time in the middle. I was thinking about putting a drop of super glue on the threads, and then tightening it down really tight.

I use it more as a "hook and pick" tool, rather than as a scriber. The ends are nice and sharp if you want to use it for scribing or marking things.

Any thoughts on how to store the scriber safely, if you're not just laying it in a drawer? I have a center punch tool that a spare pen cap fits over the pointy end nicely, but I don't know what I'd do with the two much longer and thinner pointy ends on this thing. Might have to try to keep it in its package, if it doesn't get too torn up in the process of opening it.

I noticed this on the excellent bar clamps (made by Wolfcraft). Most became unavailable late last year, but a few weeks ago I was able to order another 3 for pickup in mid-march. At first I thought that they were just replenishing from Wolfcraft, but your explanation makes more sense because only certain sizes seem to be available for ordering.

I have a magnetic bar on my workbench with screwdrives, I also have several picks hanging up there.

If you have any of that plastic dip in a can you could put some past wax on the tips then dip them several times to build up a thick protector cap that should pull off & push on with ease.

Like someone else said though, cork is the original sharp end protector. ;)

Locktite. The picks are made by Ullman, I have a lot of their picks and I locktite all of them, they never unscrew in use anymore.

From 3 weeks ago:

Latest news on vendor-loss: Sears Auto can no longer order Cooper tires.

Another tidbit about the Sears Auto tire situation: "From what I see Laufenn/Hankook must be one of the only tire company's that are still giving us credit. Over 1/2 of my tire room is now Laufenn tires and keep getting more every week." (Laufenn is their bargain brand launched a few years ago, made in Indonesia.)

Another bit of tire news from the employee gossip, Sears Auto has also lost Michelin now.

And now there's some more employee gossip today about declining supply for Sears Auto...

"We receive shipments of tires and supplies on Fridays each week. Lately the shipments are very low. Twelve tires, All Lauflen's. A few filters and wiper blades. Battery shipments are down to a hand full. We only have about 100 batteries in the store at this point."

"Same here. I don't even know why I got a truck this week. I got 5 tires this week. My tire stock room is now 50 percent lauflens. I'm guessing that hankook is the only one who will give us credit so they are loading up. Also with 4 for 100 and free install by rebate I am losing money on every set I sell."

Interesting how with the scriber I can do a store pickup (not in stock there) but no shipping? I guess they don't want it to be a filler item.

Agree. I checked those bar clamps, not available for shipping for me, but I can pick it up at Hometown store 60 miles away. So apparently some local stores still have these items, but maybe they do not have them anymore at the warehouse.

I just figured it's coming from a Sears store in Alaska. :lol:

I think I found the spark plug pliers (USA) in-store last fall for $4.00, so I figured they'd all be gone by now.

Looks like there are some Sears stores that just don't have enough traffic to get rid of heavily discounted items.

My theory is the far-out ship dates are based on when Sears expects to be caught up on their past invoices with the manufacturer so that they'll be willing to send more to Sears.
