Sears has some great sales on Craftsman tools

SEARS Tool site

Deals (what I remember from the store)
Metric and standard socket sets
Torque wrenches(up to 75 ftlbs and up to 250 ftlbs)
Box ended ratchet wrenches
Air tools, impact wrenches
Mechanics/shop gloves(all types)
Also, garage hooks and some storage stuff is on sale

Theyve got online only sales, instore only sales and both. A lot of stores have a section called the "Wish Shop" where stuff is really marked down.

Sears is having good deals on air tools 10% off on all.
Clearance sales on the toolboxes, and you get an additional 10% off clearance items if you order it online.

Did everyone forget Harbor Freight Tools? Hands down the cheapest tools anywhere, and all hand tools have a lifetime warranty. The only thing that sucks is sometimes their shipping is slow.

Harbor freight, northern tools. Some good deals but also some cheap quality. Ive bought some stuff there.

This fits the criteria that is noted in the first post.

For those that shop at stores like Home Depot, look out for display items like rolling toolboxes and the like. At my local Home Depot there is a large $400 tool box that is reduced to $250 because the locking mechanism doesn't work properly. For most, we will accept the price reduction as not all of us need a lock on our tool box. You may be able to haggle for a lower price.

So, keep an look out at your local Home Depot and similar stores for items that sit around. You can save a lot.

Harbor Freight is cheap for a reason. I've bent their 3/4" box end wrenches into a horsehoe with my bare hands. Cheap Made in China Crap. stay away.
