  1. The rebate is for anything they sell. HD only matches non sale items and in store purchases. For Menard's when. Something is bought in store or online the rebate will be attached to the receipt. At menards .com at the top is their rebate tracker. You can fill it out there. it still has to be printed and mailed off though.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

  3. I purchased a set of Wera screwdrivers a few weeks back from kctoolco. I also purchased a set of insulated Wihas but that is another thread. My initial impressions of the Weras were that they are very well made. They are made in the Czech republic and designed in Germany. The handles are unique and take some getting use to, yet not uncomfortable. The black is a hard plastic with the green being a softer material. They do however allow a good grip on the screwdriver. I have used the phillips #2 quite a bit and impressed with the fit of the bit. The Weras boast about their tips being laser etched. This intrigued me and after seeing a review on YouTube of you being able to pull items by just the gripping strength of the driver. While I have not pulled a tool box I have been able to get it to hold near horizontal in many different screws around the house. Mine also have a hex bolster to allow for added torque with a wrench. Overall I am very impressed and highly recommend them. They are more expensive than craftsman, kobalt, husky, but cheaper than snap on. Enough rambling, here are the pics. Note the multiple areas with the description of the tool and the product number for easy replacement. Some German alternatives are Felo, Whitte (HD offers some versions and makers of the Matco brand screwdrivers), and Wiha all within the same price range. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  4. Picked up a few things the past week or so. From Menard's I got a Bosch 15ga nailer. $80 on clearance with rebate made it $50. From Home depot I got a diablo blade for my Bosch cordless drill and a husky pneumatic angle grinder. (Rebate week at Menard's so HD price match on those). From amazon I got a Snappy made in USA countersink bit set. Pretty good week. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  5. Ya. Workshop addict did a review on YouTube. If you want to stay with kreg I'd opt for the k5 as it has a few upgrades over the k4. Nothing wrong with the kreg as my k4 has done what I need it to do. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  6. Check out the Porter cable pocket hole jig. Looks to be much better than the kreg. I have a k4 and like the look of the pc a lot. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  7. The toughbuilts are not the same in those pics. The more expensive one has adjustable legs and the cheaper one doesn't. The Masterforce are copies but the the areas where the 2x4s go fold up in the Masterforce ones. Something to keep in mind for space savings. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  8. Depends on how you want to store them? Vertical? Horizontal? I am looking at the ernst trays or the westlings. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  9. I have a set of these and really like them. Adjustable legs too. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Give away week

    congrats to the milwaukee winners! Hope to hear my name on Friday!
  11. I bought the Masterforce 18g but I haven't used it yet. Impressed with the features on it. I like the jam release better on the Masterforce and it has a light. The Bosch also didn't come with any nails or hose fitting. I couldnt justify the price difference with this being on clearance us extra off for their clearance sale. I bought a swivel fitting to ease the hose. I love Bosch products with my cordless being Bosch along with a few other things. I am sure I will be just as happy with it as my other tools. I purchased it to replace all the door, floor trim, crown in my house. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  12. Kc had a special bf deal for that set Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  13. ThanksSent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  14. Picked this up today. Had some rebates which made it $50. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  15. I bought the same lenox set from Menard's as a black Friday deal. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  16. Didn't get these today but my screwdrivers finally came in from kctoolco and very impressed with the weras so far. I also picked up a few things from HD last week. Spring clamps, clamps, and husky t handle hex. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  17. I was contemplating that kit. Either that one or the Bosch colt with plunge base. Do you feel the size will keep you from getting into certain spots?Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Home Depot

    I paid $15 for mine earlier this year at my depot. They were clearances out. Rang up a penny but I didn't know about the penny deals at the time and paid last price for it. For $15 I bought the last two. [emoji16] Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  19. Thanks. Still waiting on the wera and wiha screwdrivers too. [emoji16] Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  20. Good to know. They were top my list but dropped due to price. Might still pick up a set though. Here is most of my BF deals. Gearwrench ace brand sae set $10 Irwin 6pc clam set $15 Dremel 130 pc kit $10 Kobalt table saw $200 Werner ladder $90 Lenox hole saw kit $40 Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  21. Thanks for the analysis, that helps a lot. I'm tempted to pick up a set of the strike cap felo's to see how they are. The wera's I ordered have the hex shank with the nut for wrench to put on but are not the chisel drivers. How do you compare the wittes? They were my on my list as well but were more expensive.
  22. thanks for the pic I appreciate it. My order frm kc hasnt shipped yet...looks like ill be doing some looking tonight.
  23. im a member and saw the thread. thank you. do the felo's grip like the wera's? I know I have seen where wera's will grip upside down or straight out and stay that way. I have smaller hands and they did look pretty big in the pics. I was torn between the two and decided on the weras for the laser tips. I couldn't find much video on the felo's. the felo set 61391 looks really nice for the money.
  24. nice! I bought some wera's from kctool and some insulated wiha's as well. waiting for them to arrive. Do those wera's not have the laser cut tips? do you like the wera's or felos better? good deal!. I wonder why my car said they went up?
  25. I had that in my cart and forgot about them, then i look and they went up. ugh.
