This is exactly it. No offense to these guys posting videos but they've all been showing the same stuff for literally months now. If it's always on sale then it's not a sale
@@Randyplaysguitars if you are serious about buying tools and saving money while doing it, people that watch deal of the days, glitches, in tool groups, etc get better deals all year. The only thing i scored this month was a metabo hpt 30 degree framing nailer 4ah kit for 195 new. These BOGO deals are also always the same tools all year long. I have seen the M18 2 5ah kit with tool for YEARS with the same tools and nothing new.
@@hybridmods4228 Yup. I was able to get a deal on home Depot Cyber Monday Milwaukee forge 12ah and 8ah combo for 169. It was a pricing error but those are the real deals you gotta look for. They open are good for minutes before being caught
People are paying less for better/easier warranty at harbor freight with quality being just as good these days they're slowly taking over the tool market my opinion
Hurcules with a 5 year warranty that can be handled at the store, not some ship it back to the manufacturer if it's broken and you MIGHT get reimbursed bs.
Harbor Freight sold out of all of their Icon sockets when they ran them 40 percent off recently. Im heading over there to pick up a 40 off wrench set today I picked up the Milwaukee fuel 12v hammer drill/ hex impact deal because I needed a new makita battery 😂
Which set are you going after? And are an Inside track club member? I was looking at the Hercules Battery and charger deal and get a free impact wrench but they said that deal wasn't good anymore, thanks.
@ I recently switched most of my hand tools over to Icon pretty much. Kept my snap on ratchets, some specialty tools etc but all the sockets and wrenches are getting switched to icon. The walk in warranty is where its at for me these days. I used to buy a lot of craftsman when there was a sears next to my house, didnt like the tools but the warranty was what sold me. Looks like Harbor Freight is going to get my business. Also yes, just renewed my membership. Its ridiculous everything has gone to these subscription models but I bought the membership when I bought a generator. Buying the membership actually saved me enough money to make it make sense
Just grabbed the metric and SAE ratcheting flex head wenches and flex head torque wrench and threw in the mini toolbox cuz I got 20% any one item for inside track club 😊
Many people are broke and the market has been flooded with (power tools). They are at stores, online stores, garage sales, swap meets, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist. You can find cheap tools year around.
Thankfully I never fully got into the Makita line. They barely ever have sales and when they do they aren’t good. Overpriced for mediocre power. I did buy the rear handle saw kit with 2 extra batteries for 250. Other than that I can’t remember when they had a good sale
Overstock tool stores are the way to go if you still want to buy brand new stuff. My local store had a huge Black Friday, people had literally carts and dolly carts full of tools. Crazy!!!
blame harbor freight, people are waking up and quitting the "its a name brand so its better" mentality, at the end of the day earthquake, icon, even Pittsburgh is just as good, i have been using the same Pittsburgh tools now for 13 years and i turn wrenches every day. i have not broke a ratchet because i use them as intended, breaker bar when needed and right size drive for the proper job. cant beat a walk in warranty now days, even the craftsman tools have a walk in warranty at lowes and ace hardware. as for sets, might be different if they didnt include 200 bits in the box, i mean what happened to the good ole screwdriver set? i wont buy a tool set if it has more than 15 bits in them.
@@googleuser1036 HF has a 5 year warranty that can be dealt with at the store... any of their stores. At the big boxes a lot of their brands require the hassle of mailing the item back to manufacturer and all that bs that goes with it.
The same thing is happening at Walmarts. They used the same kind of display cases in the middle of the aisles for Black Friday and those items are still sitting there two weeks later. Many look like they haven't even been touched.
The HD sale items are very similar year-to-year. I was starting a new box one year ago and picked up many Husky discount items....the same ones are discounted this year.
Lots of nice tools, but the price points are too high. People are going to wait until this stuff has to be liquidated in a real sale. Locking stuff in cages to reduce theft is understandable, but is horrendous for marketing.
Geeeeee, do you think the geniuses at Hd,lowes,Walmart, target,etc., would be smart enough to have a "pre-covid" sale. It's like they don't want to sell stuff. Nothing wow..
I bought the ridgid toolbox set but found that i really dont need to take that much stuff. returning the drawers that were 100, wheels were clearance to 13$(which is why i bought it all) and the med box. 150 back in my pocket when i really dont need it and i wonder how many people(diyers) will need these and they are all over the place. got that 79$ kobolt saw with battery and a cut off tool. I think the tools are lasting longer perhaps too.
I get most of my tools at harbor freight or on line sales. HD become an annoying experience to shop and buy at around here with little to no discount last few years same with lowes.
A lot of the deals are the same price as last year but you get less Ah batteries or less tool selection., Considering people are feeling the pinch financially already somethings gotta give.
All I could bring myself to getting was the Ridgid 2 4ah Max Output batteries with the newer brushless orbiter sander this year. Really like it. These sales aren't that good this time. I think the summer or spring time ones were better this year.
I went to a homedepot near me last week and noticed the same thing and i go lowes witch is closer and there tool sales are much better and seems like there stuff was selling plus im not a big fan of milwaukee tools even though I own some of there cordless tools. i an issues with a drill a the m18 fuel multi tool is 3 years old and battery fit loose and seems to vibrant more. Has anyone had issues and there impacts i think ok any better bits out there besides milwaukee thanks
I have been waiting for Ryobi's 7 1/4" circular saw to go on sale. However, Home Depot put it out at the list price trying to act like it's a holiday sale. It's the same boring crap that they put out from the previous years. I have everything already I need. Let them cook.
Damn bro, what hood do you live in that they got bars over the shelves like that? And taking 10 or $15 off something that’s $200 isn’t a deal like it was 200 now 180 that’s not a deal.
Nothing is selling because these are the same exact deals they've had all year and labeling it "Holiday Sale" there's no sale
This is exactly it. No offense to these guys posting videos but they've all been showing the same stuff for literally months now. If it's always on sale then it's not a sale
You are 100 percent correct. I watch the sales all year and no real deals this year

Most of them aren't smoking deals this year. Folks are broke. Bit of both?
Everyone's broke !!! ☃️ Could be worse stay warm ❄️🌲, hopefully Santa brings gift cards for Christmas
In case you haven't noticed the economy sucks.
Hope everything will be on Sale after christmas or new year, last year got batteries with extra $50 dllrs off !!!
Wait until after the first of the year you’ll see more and more of this stuff piled up on shelves people can’t afford.
The economy has been challenging these last 4 years. I could only afford gifts for the kids, nieces and nephews this Christmas.

That's another good point, Harbor Freight has taken a huge dent out of HD/Lowes.
The word is out and all the tool shoppers are at HF this year.

Too expensive & not many people have money to waste.
Nobody has money due to inflation. Plus, folks have jitters about the possible coming tariffs adding to inflation and shortages.

My favorite truck in the world was my 2000 TRD Tacoma that forest green color never should have got rid of it... 😢
I had a 2000 silver one, Off Road, V6, Manual, great truck.
I was looking at a milwaukee light that was 10 dollars cheaper before black Friday
Overstock tool stores are the way to go if you still want to buy brand new stuff. My local store had a huge Black Friday, people had literally carts and dolly carts full of tools. Crazy!!!
The hit “tool” deal of Black Friday was a $10 mini toolbox. Let’s all let that sink in
There is no deals. Lowe’s is the same way. You can buy this stuff all year at the same price.
i recently got into the hercules line at HF it’s awesome
Same!

Some would argue that Harbor Freight is even getting a little expensive over the last several years.
Harbor Freight Products in some cases are higher than the name brand products
Get name brand on sale, why buy HF

Because the stuff they have deals on are not that great, plus there is harbor freight

Their Milwaukee tools are overpriced! Better deals at EBay !
All the tool deals are online for Home Depot. They’ve been that way for the whole year.
Everyone is going to Harbor Freight where it's half the price w/ better warranty.
The Milwaukee bits at my Home Depot were pretty wiped out, not much else
A lot of the deals are the same price as last year but you get less Ah batteries or less tool selection., Considering people are feeling the pinch financially already somethings gotta give.

Harbor freight bro
Depending on which Home Depot you go to, I got to some home depot and there is literally nothing left and I go to others and they have a lot in stock.
I didn't buy any milwaukee stuff from the actual stores because they have much better deals online.
I bought some hex keys for 20 bucks. Just looked at the other stuff and went home.
Ridgid had three free tools, I think in 2022.
My HD in South Texas is sold out of most of the holiday deals.
Looks like your store overstocked like crazy man
Maybe they just stocked up
The Home Depot by me is low on Dewalt. The gift section is now down to one section from 4
If it all possible, wait until next year.
No one has money to blow. people wallets are hurting

Have those husky tool chest sold for less after the holidays?
We need new tools, I'm so sick of oscillating tools, orbital sanders, or jigsaws always being on EVERY tool "deal"
A four pick set for $15 dude you used to be able to get them for two
what is you local store #'s...
Damn bro, what hood do you live in that they got bars over the shelves like that?
It is like that at the big box stores up and down the West coast from what I've seen.
Prices are not good and everybody has this stuff already
I don't see anything that is a deal. Hell the Milwaukee stuff is still over priced and the other isn't worth it at all.
The “deals” this year don’t look that appealing.
Who can buy tools? We have money to send overseas.
Damn bro, what hood do you live in that they got bars over the shelves like that? And taking 10 or $15 off something that’s $200 isn’t a deal like it was 200 now 180 that’s not a deal.
But they are leaving the store 😂
