^ I didn't have any luck either. Was going to ask you to dchotize me and try again, but it appears that this one is even beyond your powers.
If the ratchet works as advertized, I'm quite happy with the deal we got. I'll be babying my ratchet and just use it for those frustratingly tight spaces that cars today are loaded with. I miss the old Falcons and such were you could practically climb in the engine compartment to work on the engine.
Mine too. And BTW, I have had the chance to use my DD ratchet several times and I really like it. It seems strange at first, but once you get used to not hearing and feeling the clicks it is really in nice. I have not had a chance to really wail on it though and I don’t intend to.
As far as Lowes deals lately, they really suck. Maybe this spring.
On the other hand, they still have some of the LuxPro lights at full list. At that price they are just not worth it.
i don’t really need the ratchet set even though it is a good price, plus all the local stores are out. $4 for the stapler is a pretty good deal. Local store has 20 of them. I’m going to stop in the morning and pick one or two up.
Well struck out. Only one local store has them. Says they have 20 in stock but they can’t find them. Spent 30 minutes this morning with multiple employees with no luck. Plus it won’t let me ship to store unless they have it in stock. No point in using the one with stock as it’s lost.
Notice this last week. My lowes has a bunch of tool marked down. Only ones I found marked down enough for me to buy were there 1/4" drive sockets (50% off):
According to Lowe's website, the Utilitech LED bulbs are still $2.48/each (i.e. the markdown was not just a Memorial Day sale as that sale ended yesterday). I'll be really surprised if this is a permanent markdown. It's probably to combat Home Depot selling those Philips 2-packs at $4.97/ea (which are showing as being back in stock at my store). My Lowes also replenished its stock of the 60w equivalents. These Utilitech bulbs are 3,000k, not the usual 2,700k so they will look odd if you mix them (or even between rooms using different color temps). I personally like these 3,000k a lot. My personal experience is that a 40w equivalent LED bulb will replace a 60w equivalent CFL with equal amount of light. When I replaced a 60w equivalent CFL with a 60w equivalent LED it was way too bright! (Though this was on a ceiling fan using 3 bulbs.)
Just wish I could find a standard A19 / E-26 25w equivalent LED bulb that didn't cost an arm & a leg!
argghhhhh. went in Lowes Memorial Day weekend and all 60 watters were gone but of course...only 40 watters on the shelves...the crappy 40's apparently noone wants.. SHIXXXTskys!
I was just in my Lowes, they had been raised up to $24.98, but now they are all gone! Either they went on clearance or they got pulled. There used to be 10 of the thumb wheels, they never sold a single one.
I was in another Lowes today and they still had them on display for 19.98. I talked to the tool guy about the price going back up and he said yeah, they didn’t sell. He has 15 cases of them on the overhead. He also said he bought 5 last Christmas for presents. Everybody LOVES ’em
EDIT: I forgot to mention that he said that after they were reduced to 9.98 and before they went back up to 19.98, they had them for 7.75 and still they did not sell.
So I am really wondering what happen to all the ones in my hometown store?
I also saw these new work lights. I didn’t get one as I already have plenty, but they looked really nice.
I will check them out further later, didn’t have time today.
