As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

Stanley Hacksaw - We've got 'em

Hacksaw Sale
Yes, we got 'em. We got a lot of them. So many, in fact, that we're blowing them out for less than $5. And to make it even better, it includes a mini hacksaw that will work with the same blade.

This saw combo lists at over $23 and we usually sell them for around $16 - $18, so less than $5 is a great deal. What's even better is that we'll be adding a 10 pack for $45 and a 100 pack for $400. Did I mention that we got a lot of them?

Limited Supplies - Stanley Socket Sets

For a very limited time, we've got fabulous pricing on a 20 piece mechanics socket set, a 20 piece 1/2" drive socket set, a 37 piece socket set and a 55 piece 1/2" and 3/8" drive kit. Prices start under $20 and don't get over $40 for these, so grab them while they're hot. I've already picked up a couple of the 37 piece for myself - one for that car and one for the house. These make great gifts for the upcoming holidays, not to mention they're just all around good quality tools.

If you're in need of a set of socket wrenches, make sure to check out all the deals we have right now. Even if you don't need them (like me), it's still hard to pass some of these up.

Stupid commercial: Craftsman Tools


Has anyone else seen the commercials that are shown during Nascar races for Craftsman Tools? They have other sporting events showing and then something goes horribly wrong. One that really sticks out to me right now is the bowling commercial where the ball return starts shooting balls at all the spectators. It's funny... but what's the message?

Official Tools of Nascar

So the slogan they're using is Official Tools of Nascar, not Bowling. I think they're saying that they're not the official tools of bowling, so it must not have been their tools that made the problem. But the message I get is somehow different. Of course, I always have a unique outlook on things, so tell me if this makes sense.

Don't use Craftsman for anything but Nascar

Since it's a Craftsman commercial, and they don't show another brand of tools causing the problem, the only logical conclusion to me is that the maintenance man trying to hide was using Craftsman tools. Since they're not sponsoring bowling, their tools don't work there quite obviously. That's got to be it, right?

Buy quality tools

Remember, if you're going to be doing something other than working on a Nascar vehicle, you're going to need to buy quality hand tools that aren't from Craftsman. I'll make the recommendation for Stanley Tools, which is the line of hand tools we will be bringing in very soon. Yes... I know I'm the power tool geek, but I can mention hand tools sometimes, right?
