Good Deal at Lowes

[bobodu]

Rode the bike over to Illinois and stopped in a Lowes...saw those wrenches on sale and they only had one left. Thought that would be nice to have in the saddlebags but some fella grabbed it right out of my hands. I gave him a dirty look but decided I didn't want to spend a weekend in an Illinois jail over a stupid socket set so I let it go. Guess what....this same fella tries to run me down in the freeking parking lot!! I ducked in behind a little Prius just in time to avoid getting run over. Sheese...some people.
I think the joke will be on him because I took a leak in his gas tank before I went into the store LOL LOL LOL.

If you don't mind using tools other than Snap-on (or Mac/Matco), Lowes has a stupidly good deal on. KOBALT 40PC socket set - standard and deepwell, both SAE & Metric. Made in U. S. A. and carries their lifetime waranty(FWIW). Reg price is $59.98 - THERE IS NO "On SALE" sign in the tool section, but the register rings it up correctly - $19.98. The handle has a Snappy shape to it, but you can tell the internals are not Snap-On. Comes in a blue, hard-plastic case. Good to tossing in the truck.

Search online - key # is 199343, make sure your store has them in stock (or can order online). I bought 2 setsyesterday. Don't know when they are going off sale.

I dont have a problem buying non brand name tools if the price is right. I have a set of import tools that I bought at least 30 years ago and it is still just about all original. I have replaced the rachet a couple of times with Craftsman but still I strip the gears on them also, but not so much as I got older though since I am not as strong as I used to be. I think I busted 1 or 2 of the sockets using a breaker bar with a cheater pipe but that was abuse to the highest degree so I couldnt complain with the quality. I dont think the new import stuff is nearly the quality of what I have. Crasftsman doesnt seem to warranty their stuff like they use to either as only some of their tools are still lifetime warranty. Maybe they know what they have better than us.

Thanks for the heads up on the deal.

I just ordered a set online, using " in store pickup". Now I don't have to worry if they are still in stock when I get to the store. My set will be sitting behind the counter, paid for, with my name on it.

Got mine today, it will live under the truck seat. Nice security just having it there, hope I never need it. Thanks for the heads up.

Don't forget if you are military active, reserve or retired, you get a 10% discount. Just tell the cashier before she starts the transaction and show your ID. Same thing at Home Depot. Not sure if it works online.
