Craftsman Nextec 12V Autohammer or Multitool $9.99 after MIR, Menards B&M

Quote from Vossy : So, would I have to purchase this in store for the rebate to work? It says excludes online + sorry slip purchases. Or could I buy it online and pick it up in store.

Sorry, B&M purchases only. I love Menards, but technology-wise they're fighting to get up into the 1990s.

Quote from SoDev : So this is B&M only? Bummer... I'd be willing to deal with some shipping for this deal.

Yeah, pretty much none of Menards print ads are applicable online. They occasionally have embarassingly, painfully bad web-only sales. Still owned and run by the guy who founded it in the 70s; they're never going to adapt to the digital age, IMHO. Sad.

At least Menards has their stuff on the web now. I can look at stuff online before going to the store.

I can verify these two Craftsman items are in the Minneapolis ad too. Menards mails out ads and I got mine today.

Just got back from Menards, they were already this price and MIR printed out and sent out. Got both

Thanks OP. Got one of each at the Mt. Pleasant, Michigan store. They had lots of the hammers on the shelf but only 2 of the multitool when I grabbed mine. Walked down that aisle again before I left and the last multitool was gone. Hopefully for others they have more to put out.

I usually stop in at Menards a couple times a month but never noticed them starting a sale before the ad date. Anyone know if this is the norm?

Same in Crestwood, IL

lots of hammers, only 4 multi-tools left..

rebate prints and they have the rebate cards..

What is Sears pricematch policy? They have this EXACT same set at the $79.99 price point.

Quote from Corwin76 : Now if only there was a Menards nearby...

The nearest one to me is 258 miles :{

Heck, I want that electric snow blower for $99.00. My local store shows a gas powered one for $399.

Anyone want to pick me up a multi tool ill paypal the money and do the rebate myself and in return I'll get you a future micro center deal :-)

Gotta be honest shipping costs though.

Menards "rebates" are store credit only. Which defeats the purpose for many people. Sorry to Debbie Downer, but feline aids is a real issue you guys.

I picked two of these up from a local Menards today. One for myself and one for a gift.

Not the quality you'd expect from Craftsman tools, but for $10 after rebate... Hard to pass up. I initially flinched at the idea of a cordless oscillating multi-tool, even though it is Lithium Ion, but I find myself using my corded Black & Decker in places where it isn't convenient to run extension cords. Hopefully it has enough power/battery-life to be useful.

One immediate gripe about it is that it does not have a quick-change attachment feature. You must use an Allen key (included) to remove/install blades/accessories. Also, all the included accessories have a complete ring of metal at the connection point to the multi-tool. This is difficult to describe without pictures, but what it means is that you must completely remove the Allen screw and retaining washer to install a different blade/accessory. This is inconvenient, but not a deal breaker.

Worth it for the money. Most of my big project materials come from Menards, so the rebate in the form of store credit is always welcome. NEVER any issue with receiving rebates in the several years I've been doing Menards rebates.

TheWellKnown, I like Menards rebates, they roll over to next rebate deal. What you do with your cat, thats only your bizness, not mine.
