Has any one purchase additional accessories for the 2.5 Gal Craftsman wet/dry Shop vac that was on sale during the Black Friday deals? I am currious what extras are good for this shop vac.
Additionally I purchased The Craftsman Pro AC/DC Clamp Meter and got the $30 in points, 10% off for thankYOU code and last but not least the $40 Credit for using the sears Mastercard. I really like this meter so far and for the price I am paying I really can't complain.

The Craftsman 2.5 gallon wet/dry vacuum has a 1 1/4-inch hose size.
There is a car cleaning kit with additional nozzles and a longer hose. It's a better deal than just buying the longer hose by itself.
$21.99 regularly - https://www.sears.com/craftsman-5-pc-car-cleaning-kit/p-00916994000P
$6.99 just for one nozzle in that kit - https://www.sears.com/craftsman-1-4-in-vacuum-car-nozzle/p-00917868000P
I think the longer hose sold separately was $19.99, but I can't find it again now. Just a 6ft replacement (the length the vac came with [or maybe I'm remembering wrong and it came with a 4ft? either way, the car kit hose is much longer]) is $15.99.
There is also a micro cleaning kit with tiny nozzles.
$15.99 regularly - https://www.sears.com/craftsman-micro-cleaning-kit/p-00917493000P
And an extension wand.
$7.99 regularly - https://www.sears.com/craftsman-1-4-in-extension-wand/p-00917849000P
Additional dry (blue cloth) filters are available.
$4.99 regularly - https://www.sears.com/craftsman-2-1-2-gallon-replacement-filter/p-00916949000P
Additional wet (black foam) filters that specifically say they are for this model are only available from Kmart if you still have one locally.
$4.99 Kmart - https://www.sears.com/craftsman-2.5-gallon-wet-pickup-foam-sleeve/p-010W005847405001P
But Sears does carry a foam filter of a very similar size that might work too?
$5.99 Sears - https://www.sears.com/craftsman-foam-sleeve-filtef-vacs/p-00917888000P
Update: Sears does not sell bags for this size of wet/dry vac, but must86 said these Shopvac bags fit it:
at Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shop-Vac-Type-B-Collection-Bag-90668/16778792
same thing at Lowe's: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Shop-Vac-3-Pack-2-5-Gallon-Collection-Bags/50146892
(Lowe's should price-match Walmart: https://www.lowes.com/l/price-match-guarantee.html )

Thank you for the links and info Hexan. I was looking at the car kit and it was about $13 or so last week. I should have got it then. I think I am going to spend the $30 in points on my Fridge water filter 
since it needs replacing.

You should also be able to use Vacmaster accessories with it.

Craftsman Pro? What was the sale price?
Craftsman ProSeries 1000A AC/DC True RMS Clamp Meter
Dates I saw are a bit different, but you never know with Sears.
'My' dates had just been from the fine print of a different promotion that started a few days ago, saying when it wouldn't be valid because of F&F. That would've been a normal timeframe for an F&F sale. Now they're increasing up the discount from the usual 10% AND increasing the days!
They've never done a week-long F&F before.Dang, I must have missed that sale! I was looking at it right after I bought the vacuum, but it was full price. Then I didn't look at it again until it was back to full price again. d'ohThank you for the links and info Hexan. I was looking at the car kit and it was about $13 or so last week. I should jave got it then. I think I am going to spend the $30 in points on my Fridge water filter
Great, I was interested in bags too but saw Sears didn't sell any this small. Here's the sold-by-Walmart listing. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shop-Vac-Type-B-Collection-Bag-90668/16778792

Doohickie the DMM was 89.99 iirc but the lady in the store gave me an aditional 10% off so total OTD was less than $89 after tax. Subract $30+$40= an additional $70 off and it is like I am paying less than $20 for it. In all fairness though I am still paying $48.** for it on my Sears Master card.

Good to know. But with the increased free shipping limit at $59 and no in-store pickup, it does make it a little less enticing.
Gonna venture to see what other shiny gems are left.
If any of you still have a nearby Kmart, there is also a $5 in-store-only coupon available for Kmart by texting JINGLE to 56278, same terms (expires 12/7).

Same here with regards to Grip-on.
FYI for anyone else who's been eyeing this Sears item:
GearWrench 35 pc. MicroDriver Set
https://www.sears.com/gearwrench-micro-driver-set-35-pieces/p-00930035000P
$24.99 regularly, not on sale right now unless you use the 10% off code, haven't seen it go below $20 [at Sears, that is... Amazon had it for $13 briefly a couple weeks ago]
There is what seems to be to be a very similar set, probably from the same manufacturer, but in what I think is a better-designed case, at Lowe's:
Kobalt 35-Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric Polished Chrome Mechanic's Tool Set
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-35-...c-Polished-Chrome-Mechanic-s-Tool-Set/3387640
I've been waiting for it to go on sale, and now it has... $19.98 regularly, $12.98 sale until 12/5 (ends tomorrow).
I plan to go buy one tomorrow using my e-GC from a texting thing Lowe's did on Black Friday morning.

The local hometown store has a tool box that apparently someone ordered and did not want it anymore so they been reducing the price trying to sell it. I notice the tool box that I am interested in, if I buy it online, I get ~$30 cashback in points.
Question is, does anyone know if I buy this box at local hometown store, will I get some cashback? My guess is no. I know I can not use my points there.

link to box online? price in store?
personally id make them an offer if its what you want and theyve been dropping the price on it--but keep in mind the F&F event this weekend so you might want to wait until then. you cant price protect in store orders through chat if it drops lower
my big tool box was a return from something someone ordered/put on layaway and didnt pay for and i think i got a great price on it

Are you sure? Every Sears Hometown I've been to, has been able to redeem SYW points.
I stopped redeeming points at the local Hometown store a long while back, because of the owner's grumbling about not getting compensated for the redemption portion (unless it's an online order).
Unless Sears Hometown & Outlet has totally abandoned SYW like Lands' End recently did, you should still be able to earn the base 1% in points.
Thanks for the info.
I think it is this box for ~$200 (which is within my budget) but in all black instead of red and black like online (not that I care what color it has, it can be a zebra color if it makes it cheaper haha). It is still covered, inside the cartoon package so I did not see, but I remember it has 5 drawers. Obviously I will look to make sure before buying (if I am buying).
Yep I remember the F&F sale. I am just getting my ducks in a row, and been negotiating with the wife too
and crossing my fingers it is not sold by Sunday!Yes I am sure. I have asked before.

not sure if they have this 26" in stock at your local hometown, or if you just want/need 5 drawers, or if it is a good bit under $200, but the price for the 4 drawer is usually ~$170 or below. you might want to watch it this weekend and see if the price goes down and you can order online (and use a coupon) and there might be a good amount of difference for just one less drawer. just an idea anyway.
just got another text from that # w a $10 off $25 valid at kmart through 12/12, in store or online

This. I swore off my Hometown store. I only recently stepped foot in there again to get my 26" "dresser" and the sales guy who has been there for a SHOCKINGLY long time remembered me and told me the owner has been gone for a long time now, said he saw her chase off 4 customers in one day once.
He said they've "gone back to a corporate store" but also said it's for sale and needs an owner.
Is this even possible? What happens to Hometown stores in limbo? Can they even be in limbo? I always figured if a franchisee walked away the store would just have to close, period.
I am planning to do exactly what you said - compare the 5 vs 4 drawer this weekend and see which one is the better buy (including how much cashback I can get). My wife thinks I am insane for going back and forth between these two. I told her it will be easier if you just let me buy whatever I want
If I can get the 5 drawer for same price or a few bucks more than 4 drawer that would be the best case scenario. The 5 drawer is a little taller/larger overall but not by much.

i dont understand the price difference between that 5/4 drawer cabinet--an extra drawer shouldnt cost $1-150 more. crazy. but good luck man
and for anyone else, i bought this square a week or two ago when it was on sale for $3.80. picked it up yesterday, mine was made in the USA.

Anything good to buy right now that is around $15? I have a little over $5 expiring tonight... Everything seems to be overpriced due to their 100% cashback thing...

Do you have any Craftsman Beer Bottle openers. They may make good stocking Stuffers or for grab bag gifts.

Sears Hometown & Outlet Stores (SHOS) is a separate corporation from Sears Holdings (SHLD). SHLD is the one that owns the regular Sears stores (the huge ones that are mostly in malls). When a Hometown store "goes back to corporate", SHOS temporarily buys it back from the franchisee and continues to operate it until they can find a new buyer.

They changed the dates from what we'd first expected - the first day of F&F is now going to be Sat Dec 8, instead of Sun Dec 9, and it will run through next Fri instead of Tue. The banner doesn't clarify if it will be in-store throughout that timeframe, or only on the first day the way it usually is, and online-only for the rest of the time.

Thanks @Hexen. Can’t believe they do not make it clear what day or if online and/or in-store.

I suspect from the different wording vs previous F&Fs (which I think were more specific about in-store being only the first day), that it will be available in-store for the whole time instead of just the first day. But we can't be sure yet, especially with Sears, who couldn't manage to produce a coherent ad this week.
BTW, Lowe's is giving Sears some competition on incompetence... I went to my Lowe's this evening to buy that Kobalt version of the MicroDriver, that I posted about yesterday. They weren't in the place they were supposed to be. I wandered around the store repeatedly, with two different employees (the second one feeling compelled to retrace every step we'd already taken with the first one), and they never found a single one of the nearly three dozen that were supposedly in stock. But lo and behold, their internal computer system says they haven't sold a single one of them at this store in at least 3 weeks, despite the great sale. The explanation is probably that the store never received them, the warehouse put them on the wrong truck or something. Lowe's doesn't ever reconcile/verify incoming deliveries, they just automatically enter into inventory everything the warehouse claimed was on the truck. So after wasting an hour, I had to go home and order it online, which at least has free shipping, and it should be fulfilled by the warehouse that has hundreds in stock (the employees said Lowe's doesn't have the local stores do any ship-to-home order fulfillments like Sears does). I didn't order online in the first place because if anything goes wrong with an online order that you use a Lowe's gift card on, you risk having a huge hassle getting it refunded and possibly only being able to spend it in-store after that. But there wasn't much choice now, so hopefully it works.

On those MicroDrivers, a few years ago I compared them and found the Husky model is the smallest. I would have thought they were all the same OEM, but the Husky was definitely different. For a tool like that, I believe the smaller design is beneficial, so that's what I own (it's actually the only Husky tool I own).

You never know with Lowe's, sometimes what they say is the last day of the sale isn't really, but often they don't extend it so I rushed to get it done last night to be safe. Didn't know/remember that there were 10% coupons out there, everybody just talks about the ones that have high minimum purchase amounts, so I guess I paid a dollar more than I needed to, but at least it's on its way already.
They might have had that in mind, but at least people can have the points from this week's 100%-back thing available during F&F, if you did/do that deal too.

yep. any lowe's GC purchase goes back as "store credit" which then can't be used online and has the ID requirement.

A manager does have the ability to convert those into gift cards FYI. They screwed something up, and ended up on store credit. Tried to use online, no go. Went into the store and she "sold" me a gift card and paid for it with that. She had to leave notes as to why, as it isn't supposed to be done willy-nilly, but it doable. I'd they screwed something up, I'd think a local store would/should try to help fix the situation.
