Lowe’s is in a giving mood this Veterans day, offering some nice discounts on even more power tools and some accessories. It looks like these deals will expire tomorrow so you better act while you can. Don’t forget about the Lowe’s Black Friday and Christmas Days sales we posted last week.
Thanks Vets for our Freedom and for giving retailers a reason to have sales.
It is never too early to start shopping for Christmas or to at least start planning for your Christmas shopping. To help you plan your shopping Lowe’s has pre-announced a few of their Black Friday deals, and if you are ready to start shopping now, Lowe’s has a number of tools already marked down. Some of these are really good deals that are much lower than what Amazon is selling them at, including the tools that are on sale right now.
It looks like Bosch is one of the first tool companies to start gearing up for the Christmas shopping season by offering some nice discounts on tools. Now through December 25, 2012 Bosch has a number of 18-volt & 12-volt cordless combo kits marked down by $50. Not only is this a great way to save on some tools for yourself or a loved one, but by shopping at Amazon you are also supporting ToolRank. Win, win.
Note: The $50 discount will be applied at checkout and is clearly labeled.

Eligible Bosch cordless tool kits include:
If you are in serious need of getting organized, Amazon has some serious organizing storage bins and shelving units on sale for the month of October, and they are made in the USA.
Amazon is offering 20% off of a number of Akro-Mils stacking/hanging storage bins that come in a range of sizes and colors. These bins are super tuff and can withstand a 250-degree autoclave and can handle just about anything you can load into them. The small 5x4x3 bin has a load capacity of 10-pounds, while the larger 15x16x7 has a load rating of 75-pounds.
BUY Akro-Mils Storage Bins – Amazon
One way to keep track of your storage bins is with an Akro-Mils Shelving Unit and Amazon again has us covered with a 15% off sale. These shelving units are not cheap but they are built to hold a lot of weight, they are powder-coated, and they should last a lifetime. Amazon has both empty shelving and shelving with storage bins included.
I have always been one to wait and buy a tool when I can find it on sale. Why pay full price when you don't have too? If you too like a good sale, now might be the right time for you to buy some Bosch tools. Amazon is running a promotion until September 15th that gives you back either a $25 or $50 Amazon gift card depending on the Bosch tool or combo set that you buy. Just add both to your shopping cart and the gift card will show up as free when you go to check out. Obviously some of the deals might be better than others, so if you see a tool or set that you like, I suggest you shop the model number around.
Little Giant Ladder commercials have been on TV for what seems like forever and have featured some of the big names in home improvement TV. There have been a number of different models that have come out over the years and they are all pretty well received buy users. If you have ever shopped around for a Little Giant Ladder you might have noticed that the prices are all pretty even from store to store, so finding a good deal can be hard. When we do find a sale we take notice.
Woot.com has the Little Giant Alta One Model 22 marked down from a regular price of between $260-$270 to $219. What sets the Little Giant apart from typial ladders is its ability to transform to fit your needs. It can be an A-frame one day and a straight ladder the next. It is listed as having a total of 33 configurations. The Alta One Model 22 is rated to 250 lbs and has a maximum length of 22-feet. It is also made in the USA. Woot also has other Little Giant accessories on sale, and some say they work with other similar ladders.
A few months back I criticized Home Depot on Twitter for the rather lame coupons they were sending out in their Home Depot Pro newsletters. The coupon (advertised as a Home Depot Pro Exclusive) offered a savings of $5 of off a $150 or more purchase. Are you kidding me? What a joke. Well now it looks like Home Depot is finally offering real savings in these exclusive coupons they are sending out.
Many professionals consider the Bosch 1677M Worm Drive 7-1/4" Circular Saw to be a good upgrade from the classic Skil 77 Worm Drive and is comparable to the Skil Mag77. I should note that Skil is owned by Bosch Tools and that Bosch likely took some of the best of the Skill 77 to make the 1677M. You might have even noticed a couple of digits in the model number of the Bosch pay tribute to the classic Skil 77; the M also tells us that the saw features a light-weight magnesium foot plate.
The Bosch 1677M Worm Drive is typically priced at around $200 so imagine my surprise to find it on Rockler.com on sale for only $149.99; this is a saving of more than 25% off of their regular price. But wait, there's more. Enter coupon code V2146 to get free shipping on your order of $25 or more. I don't know how long this deal will last and the free shipping deal is also limited, so get this hot deal while you can.

Milwaukee just recently announced some new updated versions of their popular M12 cordless heated jackets and it looks like with the new model's release being just around the corner, CPO Outlets has marked down much of their current stock to just $139.99. This price includes the jacket, the battery and the charger. If you already have a M12 battery and charger, CPO also has select Jacket Only sizes and styles for only $99.99.
The regular price of the Milwaukee Heated Jacket kits are still in the $170 range and I believe when the jackets were first released they were priced at $179. The new jackets are coming out later this year and will be priced at around $199. The latest line of Milwaukee Heated Jackets feature more heating zones, heated pockets, and a new fleece inner liner.
