Zoro Deals Thread

[Jeff95TA]

This is a single use coupon code good through midnight central time on 9/30/15 for whoever wants it. 25% off of a purchase of $200 or more. HPG0GK5SS.

Thank you so much! I've been checking this thread for the past several days hoping for a code. The ladder I need is $220 so this fit perfectly. Lowe's & HD wouldn't have it until the end of October. Now I won't be tempted to stain the shed with boards under the short leg.

I'll be sure to return the favor to the group by posting the next code I get in my mail.

 

[encantofred]

is the code that jobo1004 posted good for everyone who uses it or is it a one time one use code?

thanks

tom

 

[toolcollector]

Going to pass this time on an order. 25% code HPG0M7HTA good through today.

 

[Franknbeans]

I bought a ladder a month ago from Zoro but since then everything I look at is overpriced even with the discount. What items or brands are good buys or does it vary?

Thank you!

I've been wanting to pick up some fuel cans and this worked perfectly.

Cheers

Just do it guys on the fence ! That cs-590 is awesome. I'm using it for milling some english walnut lately. Great saw for most people. I got about 40 hours on mine so far (that would be full throttle milling hours mostly). You cannot do better for a 60 cc saw or even come close. Next closest is about $200 more for less saw. I told a friend at work about it and he bought one too. He was *amazed* at what it could do. Ported muffler even better. I have yet to do that as I just haven't needed to yet.

Hey Guys, thought I'd just pass on some info I have learned on the Echo CS-590 60 cc chainsaw, which is a great deal at Zoro when they have the 30% off deals. I was not sure how well it would run a 28" bar, being only 60 CC, but that is the max specified for the CS-600 (the souped up version of the 590, but same basic engine). The max Echo specifies for the CS-590 is a 24" bar and chain. Got one with a full skip chain and man, it pulls it just fine. I did some walnut milling with it today. I think it did actually *better* than milling with the full chisel 20" bar/chain combo, and I'm not running with a ported muffler yet, just stock.

The key is that full skip. It takes much less torque/power to pull the chain through with the alternate cutting teeth of full skip vs. every tooth active cutting with full comp style. For milling, this is really key as it also leaves space to let the wood chips get out. I was cutting good 1" long streams of walnut milling with the full skip chain, no sawdust at all. So for those who got or are getting the CS-590, you can run a 28" bar on this guy no problem, but I would do it with a full skip chain setup. Here are the models I got: Oregon 3/8" Pitch .050" Gauge model 280RNDD176 Bar and Oregon skip 28" chain 72JGX092G 3/8 .050 92 links. The above fit Echo. Logic would apply to other saws too with lower cc's trying to drive 28" or 24" bars or for underpowered saws driving smaller bars too, but the stihl or husky or other models use different model bars and chains - not same ones as above. Note the above is not a milling chain specifically in terms of the cutting teeth- I'll grind the teeth to be a milling chain as it wears in. If anyone has any 590 questions feel free to pm me. Good luck! - Paul

Thank you Travis. Unfortunately I just tried it and says it's invalid. Can you please double check all those "O"? Or maybe someone else picked it up and used it.

If anyone else has another they will not use, can you please PM it? I have almost $5k worth of items in my cart so a coupon would help tremendously.

Sent you a PM

I got the 20% off code too but I won't be buying anything else from zoro until black friday

I believe that the one-time use codes that are different for every member are now limited to that members account only on Zoro.

 

[macnewbie]

Thank you. Tried the code you sent; no luck. They must be tied to specific accounts.

 

[matemike]

Must be. I got the e-mail and my code is different from the one posted above.

I had one of these in my email inbox this morning as well (same promotion - different code). I had something in my Zoro cart waiting for coupon so I used mine this morning.

Someone must have used it, I just tried to use it myself and it will not recognize for me either.

 

[4x4_G30_Sportvan]

Yeah, I had the 20% off today too. Not going to buy anything though.
Amazon Warehouse deals is sucking up all my funds these days.

 

[kbkna]

Call zoro. They gave my daughters boyfriend a code to use. They are really good people.

 

[macnewbie]

Tried both email and phone and unfortunately they said they couldn't do it. Oh well, it will have to wait. Fortunately the test instruments I am looking to replace are still operational.

Thanks everyone for trying to help - you guys are the best!

 

[Tritonus]

I have an item in my cart that I was waiting for the 30% off flash sale.

Zoro reduced the price of the item in my cart by 10%, and gave me a 20% discount card for today.

Interesting......

[foster025]

I have a promo code for 20% off of $125 or more that I won't be using. No given expiration date, but the fine print says it's good for 14 days from receipt and it was in today's mail.

[Rye425]

Bummer I got excited for a second. Code is invalid

 

[plain garage]

Just got email, 20% OFF $125+, 10/21 only, code: 20for24.

 

[Loscaldazar]

Got the same code, so it's probably generic

 

[blakjak220]

I'm still holding out for the 30% off one.....

Here's an excellent use for that coupon:

http://www.zoro.com/proto-combo-screwdriver-set-assorted-19-pcs-j1219sc/i/G5291106/

This is one example where Zoro's regular price beats everyone else. (ex: Amazon is at $226)

 

[csmitty]

Man, trying to figure out if there's anything I really "need" right now. I got the notice Zoro is going to start charging sales tax here in GA now which is a bummer, especially for larger welder purchases in the future. Smaller stuff isn't that big a deal. Kinda strange though since Grainger has always charged tax. But Zoro usually beats Grainger on prices save for a few things I get larger discounts on.

Is Zoro going to start charging tax where there is a Grainger location? Just wondering where you heard/saw this.

I'm in PA and I have been charged tax on every Zoro purchase I've made.
Technically you are supposed to pay tax at end of year for any online purchases you make that weren't taxed by the seller but, I doubt the IRS gets many people that do it.

I'm in GA and got the same email. This is what it said;

This is a courtesy email to inform you that due to operational changes Zoro will be required to start collecting sales tax in Georgia, beginning on November 1, 2015.

It didn't explain why; they may be opening a warehouse here which would require them to charge sales tax.

But it could also be because of the law. Congress here updated the law's definition of "physical presence" to include warehouses that companies use, but do not necessarily own. Amazon did not have any employees or offices in the state, but because they used facilities here, they started charging tax due to the new law.

 

[Stealth103]

Alright, thanks.

That is excellent. I only check Zoro's website occasionally; just about everything is high and only is reasonable with 20% off or a bit better than other when you get 30-35% off.

 

[Spn1025]

Are those "comfort grip"/soft grip screwdrivers?

 

[FMC1959]

These are the Proto Duratek which are a favorite by many on this forum. They have textured grips, so that would be yes to your question although not sure how soft they are, not having used them.

[Spn1025]

I only ask because I prefer hard handle screwdrivers. I like SK's SureGrip line, not the ComfortGrips, or the Channellock Pro screwdrivers vs the Code Blue

 

[wvrailroader]

The Proto Duratek do not have comfort grip handles. The handles are a hard plastic.

Only if your state charges sales tax though, and it's done at the state level, the IRS doesn't deal with sales tax, since there is no federal sales tax. Probably one of the reasons it's more difficult to enforce.

No, they're a hard nylon plastic material and virtually indestructible.

Here's a review:

You are correct, I entirely boned that up.
Regardless, I did use the code for some items I needed, so I got that going for me.
