When does Sears have the best prices on tools?

father's day, black friday, after ?

When they are lower than the competition for something you need?

When they lose a socket/wrench/whatever and put them in the clearance isle

Black Friday's prices are better than the stuff around Xmas. Father's day had good prices as well. Just watch the web site they will have 15% off weekends every couple weeks and then drop the prices on some of their stuff at the same time. Used to be you could double dip the coupons as well, although I think they did away with that. There was also a $35 off $300 coupon using a Visa card but I think that expired at the end of the year.

Sears runs a daily deal every day...and you can get some good deals that way. Tools don't come up every day though. The Craftsman Club saver days can also lead to good deals. Those happen one week of every month.

Sears Black Fri sales seem like they have gone downhill the last couple of years. Still a great time for deals, but they aren't like they used to be.

Tday til just after new years seems to be the ********* discount season, its when people buy gifts etc. so that is when the stores compete the most for buyer money.

Sears is doing some wacky stuff though, so watching sales and posts here can turn up deals anytime.

seems the last couple years have been strange compared to past. black friday used to be seriously killer for deals at sears, they practically gave stuff away. nowadays not so much.

i have been finding random things for great deals at randoms times the last few months. recently at my local sears hardware, they had the RP 6pt 12pc combo sets for $19.97.

thats $1.66 per wrench...... i bought em.

I'm noticing less online coupons for tools. There is a $5 off $50 coupon (SEARS2012) but I am looking for a coupon when you spend $100 - $150.

They recently had 15 off 100. Sears constantly runs sales, so who knows when another will pop up.

When theyre Closing a K-Mart and have everything 40-50% off I loaded up on all kinds of stuff at good discounts a few months back

the week before Father's day last year i bought two tool kit sets (120 pc. Craftsman), and screwdriver sets for Christmas presents for my son-in-laws. I watched the sale ads for the rest of the year and at least on the items i bought, they weren't any cheaper anytime after the father's day sale.

our local Kmart closed this last winter, and it was the biggest joke i have ever witnessed with my own eyes.

they bring in a closeout company, and mark everything up 30-40%, then start discounting from the inflated price. they started at around 20% off, and moved up from there every week or two to 25%, 30%, 40%, till you were paying pre closeout pricing. it was only the last couple days when they actually got below original prices.

for example, regular folgers coffee around here is right at $10 bucks a can normally. they marked up to $14.60 per can. and offered a 25% discount. your paying more than any other store in town.

should be illegal.

You're right they bring in a contractor for liquidation.

Once a store goes into liquidation everything is brought up to full retail pricing. Items are then marked down 10 percent, a week or two prices are marked down another 10 or so percent and so on and so forth.

You are confusing what was marked as sale prices being the full retail prices before liquidation begins

When they are going out of business !!!!!!! It"ll happen soon !!!!!

I saw a lot of that going on, but there were a lot of good deals.

Heres the deal on the 154 piece tool set I got

Regular sears price= $149.99

Regular K-mart Price= $99.99 (WTF $50 cheaper than sears for same set)

I got that set at 30% off and paid $69.96

The Lowest ive seen it (fathers day, black friday, or after christmas) was $79.99 at both Sears and K-mart.


Still worked out in the end. Paid roughly $4 for the 2-packs of socket rails. Regularly priced $7.99.


I didnt buy any of the chinese stuff, and I found it interesting that buy the time all of the USA made tools were gone, there were still LOADS of the chinese. Dual ratcheting wrenches, Elbow ratcheting wrenches, Evolv sets, ETC. LOADS of em and not a single USA tool the last time I went.

Exactly the case here in Davenport when they closed the local K-Mart here this Spring, No deals there, all through the extended going out of business sale they were still more expensive than the Wal-Mart across the street.
