I wonder if/how hard other retailers will enforce the receipt requirement once Sears tanks? Even before i suppose.
I wasn't aware of any of the Evolv line being available outside Sears/Kmart (aside from online resellers), but found at least this small set is sold at OSH (similar to Ace except I don't have any OSHes): http://www.osh.com/Osh-Categories/T...sman-Evolv-23-pc-Homeowner-Tool-Set/p/6838171
I haven't seen any indication yet of Stanley planning to continue Evolv.
Has anyone bought this knee pad? Review seems ok, but the newest review is 1 year old. Not available to see at local store, so just want to be sure they have not take a turn into a lesser product. Probably overkill for my need but I am getting old, and this is the only one that will ship to my local store. I wish I could order the cheaper one.

Appreciate any comments.
RE Craftsman Evolv warranty. For me, since I am getting them using points, I am not upset if they deny my warranty request because I do not have the receipt. I just replace that broken socket, or maybe buy another set

I have 2 pairs of those kneepads. Bought them around 2006. They are awesome. Mine are not branded craftsman though. Don't even know the brand. I like them enough to think about buying another set you posted here.
Thank you! I been doing some searching online, and see there are other brands that look very similar. I am guessing same pads, just different brand. Review is mostly positive. Good enough, so I put in my order. It will be ready to pick up May 31. I been needing these, and expect to use them in the summer for yard work, and tinkering with my cars. We also been thinking to install LVT flooring at home.

I originally bought them when I had to lay about 3000 sq ft of tile.
Been using them ever since. For some reason as you get older, your knees complain about any leaning on them!
Keep an eye on your reward point totals after ordering. I've placed orders the past two nights and my earned points originally showed correct. I checked my order status this morning and they've taken some points away from both orders.
It also shows that I've paid with less points than when the orders were placed.
I always review the order before placing because they've burned me in the past.

I wouldn't worry too much about what it says in the order history - I've got many weird price/points numbers in my order history that I can't make sense of, but the amount of points that came out of (or got added to) my account, and amount actually on my bank statement for any overage, are ultimately the same as what I expected despite what the order history says. Check https://www.shopyourway.com/secured/rewards/account-history#my-points for an accurate record of what's going on with your points; change the drop-down to "2018" to ensure you're seeing pending future amounts.
They are fantastic. Probably way better than the Chinese ones under the craftsman name. I only own the USA Craftsman version so can't comment there.
My evolv impacts have been with me since 2009 and used very frequently. Abused frequently since they were so cheap I never held back if I thought they might break like I do with my USA stuff trying not to break. Hard use on impacts, breaker bars, in a shop setting for awhile, junkyards etc. No issues at all. Receipt is long gone but a moot point. You won't be needing it.

Totally agree. I only notice this maybe in the past couple of year, but last summer my knees definitely start to make more noise.
Thanks again
On an unrelated note. I just spent some time organizing since today is pretty nice outside. All fall-winter anything I bought I just throw them in a pile. My garage is not heated, so it is not fun trying to organize anything when the weather is cold. Anyways, dang... I am running out of storage space in my already crowded garage. I just lose track of how much stuffs I have bought. Thank you GJ and Sears
Time to figure out what to do. I may install another pegboard in the garage instead of getting another small toolbox.Exactly the review I was looking for. Thank you my good man.
I posted that set last month for about $45, but it didn't get much interest here. Other than the carrying case, there are three differences in the sizes when compared to the Evolv 10 pc sets:
40 pc set: 3/8" , 16mm , 18mm
10 pc sets: 1" , 22mm , 24mm
As for the Evolv warranty, eReceipts have helped lessen worries about paper receipts with disappearing ink.
Seems high priced. Here's a similar knee pad from the same OEM. https://www.lowes.com/pd/AWP-HP-Non-Marring-Polyester-Cap-Knee-Pads/50303981
The Dewalt CLC knee pads are more comfortable and softer on the knees, IMO. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P30BQE/
Been stalking the 3x Breaker Bar set which has been OOS online and locally for me. Finally got a ship to home order through on them. Unsurprisingly its back out of stock for shipping. Heres to hoping they actually ship them.

When you get one of those URLs that Sears.com generates the wrong name in, you can fix it by putting in a more appropriate name yourself, just put dashes instead of spaces like they do.

Need an sae tap and die set and was looking at this one
http://www.sears.com/craftsman-39-pc-standard-tap-and-die-set/p-00952382000P
Curious if these are junk or not. I'm sure somebody here has one? Price with points seems pretty good.

I have the 75 piece set which I picked up for around $80 at one point when local deals were still a thing. I've used it a handful of times. I think it is fine for a home gamer like myself.

Thanks guys. I won't be using this much and have some handles from an old set that would probably work as backups. If it works for my one project I'll be happy, if not it will go back.
I realize that Sears isn't the most competent retailer with shipments, but this one had me totally frozen in confusion for a couple seconds.
I eventually noticed that the return address is actually General Tools, and the open blister pack suggests it might be a customer return that they received from Lowe's.

The edges of the plastic look kinda yellowed, like it sat on a shelf for years at some point in its life too?Let us know how well you like that digital protractor, I was eyeing it recently.
I don't have them but they look a lot like Gearwrench. I have Gearwrench and they are plenty fine for non-professional use. Just don't go too fast and use lube, you never want to break a tap.

It didn't turn on, and it might be due to the battery that expired 7 yrs ago.
I don't know how many previous owners this thing has passed through, so I decided to do a return and buy it again. Though, it's over $3 more now, so I'll wait for the next 10% off tools sale.
Not off to a good start, then.
Better luck next time!It will remain a mystery whether the battery was already dead before the first owner got it (and maybe that's why he returned it), how many other places it's been since, and how many more stops it will have in its unusually well-traveled life.
I was at a local sears and noticed something interesting (but didn't take a pic). Looking at the impact swivels, there was a Husky branded swivel on hanging from a plastic Craftsman tag. My thought is either they are from the same factory and there was a mix up, or a customer swapped the husky out for the craftsman and returned it? It appeared to be brand new.
Apex Tool Group is a supplier for both brands, but either scenario is possible.

I have an old PC I need to throw out, and remembered the mobo has a 2032 coin cell.
So the digital protractor powered on, and I zeroed it on one end. Swung it 180 degrees to the other side and got 180.15 degrees. Tried it in reverse, but then I got 180.15 degrees on the opposite side. A close up examination reveals that the pivot point was drilled slightly higher than it needed to be.
Also, I tightened down the thumb screw, but it's still easy to move the arm.
I still got a while before my next Sears store order pickup and can return this thing, so maybe I'll get a reply from General Tools about it before then. Hopefully they have good customer service and will offer to exchange it for free.

Have $31 in points I need to use in the next 3 days. Trying to decide between these two items. Not completely sure I need that many vise grips but seems like a really good deal.

If you don't mind that much OOP, between those two, I would pick the Vise-Grip set if I were you. $196 regularly, $87 sale, and you're lucky to still be able to order it at any price - it's unavailable for shipping or pickup for me currently. Meanwhile the pair of Knipex-rebranded Cobra pliers are at their full price of $50 and don't seem to be going anywhere soon.
Also, since the deal where you get 50% of your OOP amount back in points is still going on (through this Friday), you would get back $28 in points from the 10pc Vise-Grip set purchase ($87 - $31 = $56 OOP / 2 = $28), which you then need to spend on something else within 7 days... That something else could then be the rebranded Cobras if you wanted to, which (correction) won't give you any more bonus points since it's once per person on this offer, but would still be a nice deal.

($50 - $28 = $22 OOP / 2 = $11)
Isn't 50% backonly once per account? Since it's you posting, your probably right though
Oh, dang, you're right, I forgot about that. Fixing now.

Well apparently I am blind and didn't notice it wasn't available in my area. So the IRWIN Vise Grips are out.
Anyone have experience with this impact gun? Does it ever go on sale much more than this. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-c3-189-8221-heavy-duty-impact-wrench-kit/p-00945195000P Is it good quality?

Do you have access to the 50% back in points immediately after submitting an order?
I have points expiring today and would like to place 2 orders, 1 not using points to get the full 50% back and then 1 using all of my points (new and expiring ones).

Not immediately. I checked on mine last night and was told 24-48 hours after the items have shipped.

Just start a chat session with them and they should be able to credit you the points. I had to do that on my order last week.
