Spotted at Lowe's (Channellock)

This pricing does not make sense to me...420 should be cheaper than 430! (a search on Harry Epstein shows a 45 cent difference, both way cheaper than Lowe's btw)

I saw that as well. I'm a frequent traveler to the local Lowes, and that really had me puzzled. There certainly isn't a good reason for it :/

Kind of unrelated... I noticed Northern Tool had all the comfort grip Channellock pliers on clearance, but not the regular grip ones. Channellock ditching the comfort grip models?

Do you work for Northern Tools or what? Its all you bring up...seems kinda of odd.

Kinda like how Sears had their 1/4 flex drive ratchet priced $20 higher than their 3/8 flex ratchet. Makes no sense at all

Couldn't find comfort grips on their site.

Nope. Just been checking out a lot of their stuff lately. Wanting to put together a separate tool cart just for certain tasks and can't afford to fill it with Snap-on at this time. I've been looking for a decent price conscious alternative and found some items at Northern Tool that fills the bill. They have lots of tools that aren't worth spending 2 cents on. Their ratchets look pretty sucky. So do their Northern branded pliers. They have a lot of things that are just as crappy as some of the stuff at HF. Some of it identical stuff with a different brand name.

I didn't see it on the site. Just noticed it on the rack when I was in there a few days ago. Just found it odd all the comfort grip models were on clearance and the regular grip models were not.

HD clearanced some too. I guess reducing the USA invitory in order to fill up with lower quality China items.

I also saw more Chinese Crescent wrenches...the cushion grips are JUNK!
