I looked on their website. Prices on Amazon and Walmart are actually better. Just thought I should check here because some of you guys get incredible deals. Plus you might know of something better than the typical jack and jack stands.

You just missed out on a couple weeks of HF "parking lot" sales. They run deals on their jacks fairly often though.

If you click on coupons, on their website, they have several coupons on jacks and stands.

This is their better compact model, 300 ft. lbs. vs. 250 for the other one. It will do your lug nuts, lag bolts and concrete anchors without issues. It's been on sale for around $150 before, or at this price, but with a free battery kit. I would hold out for a better deal if you have time.

look at all those fresh shiny tools. Immaculate.  


funnily enough, the Ryobi grinder, which I bought to clean up a concrete face (that's what the blue disc is) still looks brand new, after I used it for a little over an hour smoothing out a poorly laid sidewalk that has been annoying me for several years, so I could recap it. The concrete was wavy and had high spots that I always felt under my feet when I walked on it.

M28 isnt new. In fact its old. They still offer legacy support via battery production runs from time to time, not so much due to consumer needs but rather industrial tools and rescue equipment that use them which are still in service.

I bought them a couple years ago. FAR too soft. They are worthless. Bent extremely easy, and frankly the scraper functionality is near worthless in short order too if you need any significant sharpness or trueness to the edge.

ETA: Not sure if they are that exact brand...but it was an identical looking set of SS scraper pry bars.

For light duty use, I think they'd be fine though. But not any serious kind of prying would be able to be done with them. They aren't a demo tool, by any stretch of the imagination.

The screaming deal was last week. Lowe's had all the Bosch finish nailers on sale for $199, with a free 4Ah battery and charger. I posted the same deal five weeks ago. I skipped it this time because I thought there was no interest. It will likely come back in a few weeks, if you can wait. This was the post, if you want to see the nailers.

Ebay has a 20% Labor Day coupon. These are the refurb tools it applies to. Some of the Bosch 18v deals are borderline insane, like the 1-7/8 roto hammer for $500. It's $1,100 elsewhere. There are other brands, but the deals are not as good. Use the code LABORDAY20 in the last step of checkout.
