    Can they scan it directly on your phone?

    I had issues with an elderly gentleman at Lowes because he didnt want anything to do with my non-wired communication Walkman. :smash:

    They can scan (sometimes). But they just need to type in the numbers. I've gone in with the numbers written on a post it and didnt have issues.

    All they need is the number on the bottom of the online coupon.

    No scanning.

    IMG_0308.jpg Just picked up this tool set for $149.99 after 25% off.

    Thought I should buy something after all the free stuff my mother-in-law has made me pick up for her.

    I have that tool kit. Go through and make sure all the wrenches are hexadecimal shaped. I had 2 that were round as they had never been cut out to fit a bolt.

    Other than that only issue is the box. My handle broke off while carrying it. It's a heavy kit!

    Has anyone noticed all the New HF tools being sold on Ebay? The sellers buy them on sale then list them on Ebay. Usually the buy it now price is the sale price any one can buy the tool at HF.

    It just amazes me that there are people that don't know you can buy the tools directly from HF.

    Capitalism at its finest. Im not knocking the idea. Just amazes me.

    I maybe should read what I type after auto correct has its way with my work. I only typed hex....2 of mine were perfectly round. I could not understand how it was impossible to get the head on a bolt no matter what angle I had it at. Then looked at the wrench and was pissed.

    Have you ever seen a picture of a tool at HF on Ebay and after a little investigation found it was only a coupon and not the actual picture of the tool you are getting and they are sometimes getting sale prices just for a coupon?

    Arbitrage isn't a new concept but has truly been mastered in the digital age, just look at the popularity of dropshipping on Amazon and other online sites.

    Thanks, I have never thought of using a socket rail and looks like the best option to organize + optimizing space. :thumbsup:

    I agree 110%, but that's the way most stuff is now--I just made a vow (long story) to never buy Milwaukee again...

    I think they're talking about the tools, mainly.

    At this point Milwaukee is just a brand name, right? All made by the same Hong Kong company as Ryobi.

    I kinda figured. Honestly don't have any Milwaukee tools. All mine are HF, Ryobi, and my Rigid combo set. As far as my Milwaukee tool box is concerned I just didn't know if there was something I wasn't aware of with the Milwaukee company or something.

    And what is this?!? And how did I not know about it?! Do these coupons work at any store? Because this is a awesome. I'm always looking for the coupons in my Handy Man magazine. But if these work it'll be way easier.
