JimboS1ice Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I don't get it. What does harbor freight cupoun have to do with this saw. Like rich said, some HDs will honor coupons from their competitor, it's kind of a crapshoot whether you can pull it off or not, many stores will just shoot you down.

olletsocmit Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 My favorite tape measures are the Milwaukee ones. I've been using the 25 footer for a long time now but I've always wanted a smaller 16 foot. I was jealous of everyone who got these a few weeks back for $12. I found this wedged behind the shelf ha ha Ha. I don't need a third 25 footer but for an extra two bucks why not, the little ones kind of cool too. I'll just give it to family or sell it for five or 10 bucks... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are out somewhere and buy something it is nice to know if it will fit in your vehicle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric - TIA Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Looks nice. How do you like them? I am to broke to buy anything right now. I think i will just live through you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 They seem real high quality. Almost Carlyle quality. Not as nice as proto of course. I'll have to lube the ratchets up and toss them in the service truck and see if I can find an excuse to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Nice! I really want to get those...I've been trying to wait for the Toptul's to come back in stock but it's such a good deal and they are great sets. Shame though, I really need a 1/4" and a 1/2" set. I have three 3/8" sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit somewhere between my 8" Knipex and my Knipex mini bolt cutters...but those cross over. If I didn't have the mini bolt cutters this would be more useful. Right now the only instance this works well for is to cut relatively flush on smaller bolts but the Channellocks I just bought can do that too haha. One thing to note is that the handles flex more than the Knipex. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuutr Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Bosch Colt Router bought Thursday. I had narrowed my choice to Ridgid, Dewalt or Makita and couldn't pull the trigger. And then Lowes had the Colt when I was wasting some time in store. Already put the finishing touches on a shoe rack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenOddosFence Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Cant upload picture again but I was also able to get the Ridgid Stainless Steel Wet Vac 6 Gallons today for a clearance price of $25.04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJr. Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Bought this roofing nailer. I was going to go with the DeWalt but they don't sell it in stores. Decided to go with the porter cable. They had a Makita that was on display. Originally it was $299.99 on clearance for $75. If they had any left, I would have bought 2 of them! I'm pissed I missed out on that deal! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pissed I missed out on that deal! I have the same roofing nailer (just about 13 years older) it's a great nailer. I saw the Makita roofing nailer today, my HD had none left either, if they had I probably would have picked one up, it looked like a real nice machine.
