While Rockler's popular Bench Cookie Plus Master Kit normally sells for just under $64, it has come to my attention that it is currently on sale for only $39.99. The Plus Master kit not only includes a set of non-slip router cookies, but also a few different accessories that extend their versatility.
If gardening is on your to-do list this spring, you might be interested in knowing that Lowe's has marked down some key tools that might make your projects go a little easier. For a limited time a Kobalt Shovel, Garden Rake, and Leaf Rake have been marked down 23-25%.
Woot.com has a hot deal on a Proslat slatwall and 10-piece hook organization kit. The list price for this particular kit is $191.00, but it is on sale at Woot for only $124.99. For comparison, the slatwall alone sells for $160+ on Amazon, and you would still need to buy hooks for it.
Amazon has one of my favorite drill bit sets on sale for less than $10, the Bosch 6-piece DareDevil spade bit set. Bosch's DareDevil spade bits were one of my first reviews back in 2008, and guess what, I still like them. They were even given the prestigious Tool-Rank Pick award, which has only been given out 10 other times.
With Black Friday fast approaching not only is it a good time to be shopping for others, but it is also a great time to score some hot deals for yourself. To be sure you don't miss one of their hot deals when it comes around, Amazon has set up a website hub dedicated to Black Friday and the deals that can be had now, leading up, to and following the Dark Day Of Deals.
A Tool-Rank user sent in a tip about a price reduction on the Wiss 1-1/2-inch 3-piece Steel Aviation Snips set at Lowe's. The regular price on these was about $35, but they have now been reduced to $19.97, a savings of 43%.
For comparison, HomeDepot has this same 3-piece set listed for $31.46. Quantities and availability may vary from location to lactation, but you also have the option to buy from Lowe's online. If your local HomeDepot carries this same set, you also have the option of using their price matching policy to get an additional 10% off.
The set includes snips to do straight cuts, left cuts, and right cuts in low carbon cold rolled steel up to 18-gauge thickness. They feature a spring action handle to speed up cutting, and a latch keeps the jaws closed when not in use. The Wiss snips also happen to be made in the USA.
-Lowe's, before they sell out. This could be closeout pricing.
A reader sent in a tip about some sweet Free Bonus Tool promotions (with purchase of select Cordless Combo Kits) going on at HomeDepot. Initially we thought the promotion only applied to Makita and Milwaukee Tools, but it turns out there are DeWalt, Ridgid, Ryobi and Bosch deals as well.
The biggest shopping season is just around the corner and it is never too soon for the giant retailers to remind us all about it. In an effort to get the Black Friday hype of to a good start, Lowe's is giving us a sneak peek at some of the deals they will be offering the day after Thanksgiving.
If you havn't started shopping for Christmas gifts yet and tools are on your list, you might want to check out some of these closeout sales at HomeDepot.com. The savings are upwards of 30% on tools that are still part of the current generation. The sale seems to be limited to a particular store, but you can chage your store settings and order most of the tools online and get Free Shipping.

I noticed that my local tool store is running a promotion that will get you $100 off select Milwaukee Tool Kits, if you trade in a professional grade cordless tool that is 14.4V or greater along with two batteries. This $100 off promotion is not limited to my local store, and is in fact available at participating Milwaukee dealers around the country.
