just got back from picking up some tools at Sears, had noticed these right as I was about to spend $19.99 on their 11pc set; figured it's a [H] deal because we can all use a few extra screwdrivers around the house/garage; and with the lifetime warranty as long as you don't misplace them it'll be the last screwdriver set you'll ever have to buy..........

There is a printable $5 off coupon on their website/internet as well.

[Baditude]

I did not find a $5 off printable coupon on their site. Care for some linkage?

[djkest]

Can you tell me if these screwdrivers have magnetic tips? Thank you! Also, the$5 off coupon would be sick.

They don't, I've got the same set.

[Choder]

They don't, I've got the same set.

A couple of passes with a strong magnet will fix that.

I've never used a torx screwdriver in my life.

You should get out more.;)
This beats the woot deal from a few weeks back because these are real.

[crispyb]

They don't, I've got the same set.

Just use a old hard drive magnet to magnetize the screw drivers. It probably works better than most magnetized screwdrivers.

My last 2 cents for the year;)

Edit: Oops. Didn't notice Choder mentioned it as well.

[Psycho_Soldier]

Torx is good for repairing some laptops. Usually the older ones.

[Supertag]

Very good deal. I like the deal very much http://llamaguy.com/sonofwaffle.gif

You need one so you can swap out the HD on your Tivo ;)

I bought the 47483 5 years ago Probably cost less than these, but some may prefer separate tools. Don't think they make it anymore, but here's a picture: http://images.pricespider.com/img/p/875527/130_x.img

I'd love to have more torx, allen, and hex drivers.

They are quite common for working on hardware. Also when I install things I choose them over the phillips selection as they are designed to 'strip' out on torque (mostly a design to prevent over-torque, but more often than not screws things up; pun intended).

These screwdrivers are great (same design my dad had growing up...I am 36) unless you suffer from some hand problems. I can use a standard screwdriver just fine, but once I am building something my hands start to cramp now...the Sears Professional line solves that problem for me, but much more expensive.

I should have said hard drive magnet. That's what I use :)

[Baditude]

Thanks for the linkage dannyboy:) You can really never have enough screwdrivers. Home, work, inlaws house in the truck. Thanks for the great deal.

[bassman]

Great deal, esp with the $5 off coupon. Thanks!

[unterhausen]

too bad these are the screwdrivers with the breakaway tips.

[Cold Dark Shadow]

sweet might have to go pick these up,

[djkest]

BTW, for those of you reading who may not know, craftsman tools are excellent, and have a lifetime warrentee, as long as the damage doesn't come from abuse. I've seen people come in with broken tools that are over 20 years old and they get a free brand new replacement. I think I'm going to pick these up just to have the quality. And actually, it's good to have at least 2 sets of screwdrivers anyway.

[Baditude]

The shelf price was $2 higher than the on-line price but when I bought them the correct price came up. I did get a funny look using the coupon but it was accepted. The screwdrivers are black and clear, not the color in the link. Thanks!

["I'm not a crook"]

I picked up a set, thanks OP and coupon person :D

They had the black ones and the half black half red set, I went for the black set. 13 bucks after tax.

[coolie_d]

A couple of passes with a strong magnet will fix that.

That's why I keep the neodyneum magnets out of broken hard drives! :D

EDIT: reading more closely I guess alot of you all use hard drive magents.......... and damn, wish i'd found the coupon before I bought mine.............. I did get the screwdrivers, a 53-pc ratchet set, and a 12pc SAE combination wrench set all for less than $100 so i'm all set for next time the damn belt comes off the pulley in the snowblower............. I had a shitload of PC tools, but no mechanics tools to speak of.......... so I took my buddy who owns an auto shop with me to recommend some stuff and that's what I ended up with.......... he said with the lifetime warranty Craftsman has it's not worth spending extra on Snap-On/Matco unless you make your living with said tools, and he only uses them because with his tool dealers, he can buy like $30,000 worth of stuff and they know him well enough that they allow him as long as it takes to pay it off.............. The Snap-On guy sold him a new lift, and told him "hell, I've known you for 20yrs, you can take 50yrs to pay it off for all I care"

never worked on an HP or Compaq then, 'eh? Especially their business/server lines.....

I don't think enough people take advantage of printable coupons, because everytime I try to use one they're like "WTF is that thing?"............ and it usually takes 2 managers and a subcommittee to finally ring the thing through............. and I still get a look like i'm trying to rip them off.................. and my neighborhood Rite-Aid pharmacy flat out refuses to accept web coupons FROM Rite-Aid pharmacy............. :rolleyes:

I remember when the the original Star Wars Trilogy first came out on DVD, I price matched Frys at Sears and then pulled out my 5.00 coupon. I don't recall the final price, but it was quite a bit cheaper than anyplace else on the net or otherwise. :D

As do I. I have one set out of an old 40GB WD that are fairly strong, so I keep those at home. My other set is at work, and I just pulled them out of an old 9.1GB SCSI drive. Those things are much stronger and are damn near impossible to separate.

[DevilDoc]

Picked up three sets yesterday. This is a pretty dirt cheap Hot Deal.

The coupons worked with no problem whatsoever. I handed out some extra coupons I printed to people in front of and behind me in line. Why should I have all the fun?

:D

[Zepher]

I picked up the screwdrivers as well as a 3" and 6" extension and a plastic compartment case.
Clerk there knew about the coupons when I mentioned that I needed to have them all rang up separately.

Actually craftsmans warranty on hand tools covers abuse. You can do whatever you want with them as long as you have a piece left that resembles the craftsman name or has the made in USA writing on it take it to sears and they will replace it no questions asked.

[mrwhitethc]

Not to go OT can you guys post where these magnets are in HDD's? I've got a few dead ones lying around and it would be great to magnetize my screwdrivers. TIA

[djkest]

Is this deal still up?

[aKrippler]

Newegg had a 30$ pc tool kit on sale for like 13 bucks a while ago, guess I shoulda posted it huh :(

[zachary80]

Is this deal still up?

After alot of detective work, I have determined that the deal is still up through tomorrow

[crispyb]

you need a torx screwdrive(size 5 or 6?, too drunk to remember now:D) to disassemble the hard drive. The magnets are inside the hard drive. I usually use the laptop hdd magnets so I can latch it on my mini laptop tool case.

Just picked up the last set at my local Sears :) It was the black&clear set. Thanks OP & Coupon guy

[djkest]

My 2 local sears were both out of stock on this item, and also refused to accept the coupon. YMMV.

[MightyJoe]

My local sears was out but substituted the 20pc set and still took the coupon. I was pretty impressed that I didn't even have to ask for the substitution.

[hity645]

I would call a corp number and complain, the coupon comes directly FROM THEIR WEBSITE.

[ShLoNkY]

Website now states $14.99. With that $5 coupon this is a STEAL.

I have a few dozen screw drivers but I swear that more than half of them are pretty much the same thing. :)

Last time I returned a "broken" craftsman tool was when I had to saw a large wrench in half so it would fit on a bolt under my truck. When I went to return it, I had both pieces cleanly cut in half and looked at the lady and said "It broke."

She said "yeah right" as she handed me a new one. :D

LEGIT and no BS lifetime warranties FTW!!

[DrStrangeBrew]

they were sold out when I went, but w/$5 coupon couldn't go home empty handed so a 10 pc for $11 works... now I can have (lose) screwdrivers in my room, the basement, & the Garage! May have to print a couple more coupons & find reasons to stop there again next week

The only thing I've had to return was a socket that broke torquing a cylinder head... got a new one but was a little pissed about the bloody knuckles

[Chris583]

they were out of stock at the place i went but instead i got the 18pc driver set which was 19$ and a 4$ T8Driver, and used the coupon and it was like 19$ so got the extra driver i wanted for free :)

[daviasdf]

My set has already helped me fix 2 door locks since purchase :D

[Down8]

Stockton store was out. But I've been wanting some new cut-off pliers, so I got a set. Like $10 after coupon.
