I have 2 of the rigid vises. They're not bad. But if I had the choice again, I'd go with the Brockhaus Heurer. Replaceable and interchangeable jaws, and they are smooth as silk. Beautiful vises. I definitely prefer them to the Rigid.

I wish Zoro sold the M18 nailers.
I just wanted to say that my recent experience with Zoro's customer service was great. I placed a fairly large order during the 30% off deal, which three packages were supposed to arrive by FedEx. Unfortunately, only two showed up, so I called Zoro to check on the package status. The lady (I can't remember her name) was super nice and apologized many times for my inconvenience. After determining that FedEx had goofed and lost the package, she immediately put in a order for a replacement of the items lost, no questions asked. It seems as though with a lot companies anymore, you have to go through a lot of hoops to get a problem fixed, so props to Zoro for the straight-forward and easy process.

I also agree with this sentiment. I ordered a bunch of stuff with the 30% off deal including but not limited to the set of 4 Wilton 'Hi-Viz' Copper Plated C-Clamps and a couple of them came pretty banged up and missing large sections of the coating. Called and explained the situation and she (forget the rep's name) was going to send me out a whole new set but I found her the part numbers for just the ones that were damaged to save them some shipping costs. Then when I asked if they were going to send me a shipping label to send the damaged ones back she said not to bother and just to 'throw them away' as they don't want to risk selling a damaged item, especially a clamp. I will throw them away...right into my toolbox.
Everything else showed up in excellent condition and arrived quickly. Will definitely be ordering from Zoro again in the future - the service and prices are tough to beat!
Noob question about Zoro. How often do they have these 25% off style sales? I'm looking to buy a large item (table saw) but not quite ready to pull the trigger yet. Should I expect another sale like this to come along in the next month or two?
Also are the coupons only good for one shot? When I try to buy more stuff I get an error saying the laboryay code is invalid or expired but obviously it isn't yet.

Be sure to price shop. I was looking at a Powermatic lathe and even with the coupon Zoro was more expensive.

I have a one-time used code for:
"SAVE 20% ON YOUR ORDER OF $75 OR MORE*"
Offer valid until 09/01/2016 - 11:59 PM CT
PM me if you want/need the code
Edit:
Decided I needed more tools and bought this, so no more code:

They're getting stingy and picky (targeted coupons) with the sales anymore. I don't even understand the most recent one since it was a Labor Day coupon almost a full week before Labor Day. Next guaranteed 25% or 30% off is Black Friday time frame so ~3months.

How is there is no Labor Day weekend sale?!

September 5-6 - $25 off $100+ - Code FALLTIME
Just got a 30% off coupon from zoro. Durning the 25% off sale I bought a whole set of proto sockets and ratchet box wrenches. Not sure if there is anything I need right now. Any ideas on good deals? Otherwise if I don't use by tomorrow I'll post it. Thanks

Proto Duratek screwdriver set. Mac sells a set, but the Protos are cheaper. Here's a review:

Also just got a 30% off code from Zoro. Going to be buying the Senco 21ga pin nailer and some pin ammo. Makes this nailer the cheapest I have seen it from anywhere.

If anyone has a coupon code they do not plan to use, please send to me! I've got a list of items that I've been holding off on until something like this came around!
Thanks!

If you're not going to use it, I need a $180 nutsert tool for a current project. I'll happily make use of your coupon if you want to PM me.

If anybody has a 30% code they won't be using there's a butcher block workbench top with my name on it. Feel free to PM me.
Thanks,
Dave
Thanks,
Dave
FYI- some of the butcher block tops that Zoro sells are "oiled" and continue to weep that oil on to anything that comes in contact with the surface. Probably okay for general garage use but didn't work for my purpose.

Got it in with a minute to spare, if they go by my time zone. Big bite to take, but I needed some highly portable tool storage so I got a bunch of Bosch LBoxx stuff. Thanks again Jobo.

Just got an email, they say they are sending me something special tomorrow and there is a lightning bolt in the picture. I wonder if that is a "flash sale" warning????
It says prep your cart and there are a bunch of 30% numbers in the background. Hopefully it will be for everybody!

Sales must be slumping.
I got the same email. I can't think of anything I really want from Zoro right now other than an M18 fan.

I am looking at the bondhus pro hold bits, they are a good price and I wanted to try them out anyways. I just bought stuff last Thursday at 30% off too.

They have the new Bosch 12v 3/8" brushless impact which I want, but for $359, holy balls. Even with 30% off, it's $251. Retail is $199.

Yeah, they have the SK xframe wrenches and they are almost double retail as well.

Maybe they're going after some of Enco's business, since the switch to MSC isn't turning out many great deals.

Zoro is an authorized distributor for Miller right? I was wondering because of the Miller rebates.

I was successfully reimbursed for a Miller rebate about a year ago, so I would say yes.
