It is becoming a struggle for me to find stuff to use the points on as well.

It is becoming a struggle for me to find stuff to use the points on as well.
FYI there are a bunch (not as many as there used to be, though) of inexpensive Dickie's products all (most) available as ship-to-store.

I got the little mug organizer some time back, it's been useful on my desk.

I have been thinking about getting the Dickies carpenter's apron. It looks nice.FYI there are a bunch (not as many as there used to be, though) of inexpensive Dickie's products all (most) available as ship-to-store.

Not bad for $10 in points. I think a more ideal apron might be a little thicker, or a little heavier towards the bottom, but I would redeem points again on it

The 8 piece ratcheting screwdriver set it back up for $22.49. It seems to come and go from the website.

Is it a straight ratchet, or is the ratchet head angled a bit? Any fasteners to indicate it's serviceable? Thanks for any additional info.

The ratchet head is straight no angle at all. There is an internal snap ring so it should be completely serviceable. The ratchet is fine tooth as well, but I don't know what tooth count. COO is Taiwan.

Does anyone know what the lowest price on the Craftsman Professional 30' Cord Reel has been in the last year or so?

According to shopyourway, it was $36 in March 2018. I am not sure how accurate that is. I like mine, it is pretty heavy and seems to be well built. I think I paid ~$40 with mostly using points.
RE: Dickies. I like mine. I had to go up and down a ladder to fix some sidings this weekend and this really helps. On sale $9.86.

I bought a few last Fall at $34.99/ea before coupons/SYW. I think it briefly had gone as low as $31.99 after F&F but I had enough self control.
Thanks! I don't need it, but I'm going to add it my wishlist for when I'm looking to spend expiring points.
well i tried again with another rep and they gave me the "one time exception" speech but did refund almost $12 on a prior order that id used a coupon on, so that was cool. then i tried to turn around and spend it by having them price match a 1-1/8" GW to menards but even though it was clearly online for a certain price, and there are menards everywhere, they said they wouldnt price match it unless it was in stock at a local store. not sure why that should matter since i no longer have any local sears, but whatever. its like pulling teeth with these guys now...
but in case someone else is interested and can find one local (or any of their GW line--theres a ton on sale much lower than sears has them listed for) links are above. good luck

LOL, good point if you're buying for home shipping anyway! Pretty lame. Every now and then you can get a rep willing to do a 'one time exception' for even matching online-only sites like Amazon, but they are much happier if you find it for the same price at a website of a company with physical stores (I'm surprised Menard's didn't pass muster on that, you should try again with another rep tomorrow). Sometimes Home Depot and/or Walmart will be in sync with Amazon, for example.
imho in general, the point of price match is so that the (potential) buyer spent his/her money here instead of at the competitor's store.
Personally, if any store, not just Sears, is giving a hard time who they price match, well f*** that, I just spent my money elsewhere. Same price, but without the headache trying to convinced some CS to price match. I do probably have some patience if I have lots of points to spent, but if we are talking OOP, I would just spent my money elsewhere.
Either you price match, or you do not. I respect that either way, but I like to know up front so I can decide where to spend my money
That one time exception is BS 
. They said one time exception but they do this over and over 
iirc, Sears used to have 110% pricematch where they give you 10% lower. This was many years ago when we still have regular Sears locally. I remember I bought a set of tires, and the saving was pretty significant.

Arn't you special!
Harbor freight gave me that **** taking a Coupon off My Laptop.......L0L
Meanwhile I can enter that number of the coupon into the Harbor Freight website checkout.....................L0L
FWIW i tried again today for the price match and i finally got it--after a 49+ minute chat. no kidding. im just glad i was at work and could have it in the background as i did other stuff. basically, this rep was fine price matching but couldnt ship to my kmart only sears (which i dont have any more) and kept saying id have to pay shipping or pay the full amount and order through sears.com and then they'd refund the difference in points, etc etc etc.
eventually they settled on a price match with me paying $6.25 shipping, and them immediately refunding $4 of the shipping back to my card. so i said sure, whatever lets get it over with already. in the end i got it for $8.88 OOP after tax, shipping, and points. im happy with the price, but def not the work. if i didnt have so many points to burn and actually had a local menards i would have just bought it there.
quick tip: all i did was find ANY menards that had it in stock and told them what zip code so they could verify it online and they didnt even notice (or check) to see that it was ~250 miles away from me--they just needed to know where it was in stock so they could fill out a form on their end. YMMV if you try it, but it could help someone else get a price match in the future

Interesting. I know people have PMed WM/HD items that are online-only (e.g. Knipex, back when Sears still carried those).
looks like theres a midnight madness going on tonight starting 9pm central. not sure what good thats going to do this soon after F&F though. but i always check it out in hopes of one of those huge unannounced mega sales like we got last november
Yep, Midnight Madness on a Wednesday instead of Thursday, c'mon Sears, stick to the established pattern.
It has already kicked in 45min early. I might be buying something since my timing on winning games missed the F&F sale.GearWrench 32 pc. Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set $75.99
pretty sure ive never seen it lower (or at any other price, actually) than $79.99. looks like coupons will work on it too, as well as $10.** back in points. i wish i could find just the 12pc stubby set from sears...

I already got the red version of this level a couple years ago, and this black one seems so similar I don't have a need for this one personally (red one is magnetic too despite lack of mention in product description), but this looks like a good deal:
Craftsman 9-inch Magnetic Torpedo Level
$4.74 sale during 5% off, should go back to a $4.99 sale when that ends in a few hours, $11.99 regularly
https://www.sears.com/craftsman-9inch-magnetic-torpedo-level/p-A032973942
Another decent cheap deal, for those who like the classic-handle screwdrivers:

$2.49 Hot Buy sale, $5.99 regularly

I am sure that we have crossed paths there and I believe I know which employee(s) you are referring to. What department did you work in? I spoke with their newest manager a couple weeks ago and he seems to be on a mission to run a tighter ship and I recognize him from the Battle Creek store. So far the store has appeared to be much more organized and stocked. Hopefully they will continue on and from what I can tell, the Portage, MI, store is one of four full line Sears in Michigan.
Even the F&F 10% off was a bit lackluster, so 5% off immediately afterwards isn't very motivating.
The GearWrench set was $71.99 (10% off) during the F&F event.
(best deal was $49.99 back in Dec for those living near a Tractor Supply Co.)
damn. guess ive been sleeping
still didnt see anything last night worth a second look.
$79.99 is a common price for that set. If you're not in a rush, then you may as well wait for another 10% off tools event. Or check on it again when there's a good cashback in points offer (I think there was once a $50 points offer).
Plaid Blue and Red version of this jacket $12.97 today at my store. They had a ton at that price.
Also found the tan 9ft appliance extension cord and 6 outlet swivel surge protector on clearance, $2.97 and $3.97. Probably worth it to price check anything in the extension cord section at your store that doesn't come up using the mobile app barcode scanner.

I count 6 via sears.com listings. Grandville, Lansing, Livonia, Portage, Saginaw, Westland.
Thankfully I live nearly equally distant between the Livonia and Westland stores, about 2-3 miles from either. The party of free stuff from sears continues!

Grandville just got a whole toy, dare I say, department. I'm sure they just nudged all the mattresses together to make the room, but more toys that I ever remember seeing at Sears in my ~10 years shopping there. They also significantly reduced exercise/sporting equipment, and stretched outdoor equipment & tools out. It felt full, but also a little too spread out at the same time.

Wow, you guys have the mother-lode of remaining stores in your area. No wonder we have a bunch of people in that area posting here.

I could have sworn I read that Livonia and Westland were slated to close but I suppose not. Two more places to get free stuff!

Mother-load? I suppose we do.
Our Sears population fared much better than our Kmart population. I remember reading there were around 120 of them by the late 90s and now we have eleven.

Considering that there's only 1 Kmart left in the entire state of TX, 11 is not too bad either.
