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

I have bought into this craftsman battery platform from sears. I own the drill driver, right angle driver, and this multi-tool. The multi-tool is great, much better than the Harbor freight corded version. The biggest difference is sound. You have to wear ear protection with HF versions, this craftsmen version is tolerable. Battery life is ok for most homeowners and it recharges quickly. I find myself using this tool because of the convenience of it cordless. My only complaint is swapping the blades is cumbersome. You have to use the supplied Allen wrench and unscrew the bolt all the way out swap the blade and screw back in and sometimes the screw vibrates loose. They have redesigned this with a quick change for newer models. I suspect that is why the they are offer these at this price. At $10 you will not be disappointed. Hope that helps for those on the fence.

Quote from BillBrasky : Menards starts setting up the Sunday sale on Saturday evening. It can be a crap shoot on whether they will ring up right but they will correct it if you call them out. I don't know why people are whining about their website. It now has every item in store and will tell you if it is in stock and is infinitely times more user friendly than Home Depot. Companies put crap like this out there dirt cheap to get you in the door. I'm sure they aren't making a dime on it.

The Menards site doesn't even come close to correlating with actual store inventory.

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

lol..

Actually the price is a final closeout. Menards cut ties with Craftsman almost a year ago, and cleared out most of their stock. They've been running intermittent sales of these two tools since, and I'm assuming this is Menards dumping the very last of their inventory.

And how's this for karma?

Posted this, saw people were snagging them Friday night but just couldn't get to a Menards till this morning. When the sale was SUPPOSED to start. And they're cleaned out. Any other Saint Paulites, don't bother with the Midway store.

Good for everybody who did get them, tho. The multitool in particular is great.

Thanks and repped op.

Picked up one multitool this morning. It was not marked with the usual after rebate price which may be why I could find one. There was another one on the shelf. Picked up two stubby hammers ($1.00 after rebate) and one flashlight (95 cents after rebate). Several hammers and many flashlights still available. At store in Jefferson City, MO.

I'll have to check out the multi-tool in a bit, thanks! Hope ours still has some.

I just remembered that I got the multitool for $30 and the hammer for $20 on BF. $50 with $40 in store credit is a decent deal as long as you don't waste the store credit on crap.

Quite a few left on the shelf at my local Menards. Bought 2 Multi-tools... one for me one for a gift. I don't mind store credit as I'm always getting something from Menards anyway.

Picked up 2 Multi sets and 1 auto hammer in the chicago area. 1 I will be giving 1 out as a fathers day gift . Made two seperate purchases since the limit is two for rebate. I always send in multiple rebate reciepts sperate envelopes same address never got denied.
There was only 1 left on the shelf however there are many up on the overhead bins. You just need to know where to look. The boxs I must admit where a little dusty banged up not sure where they stored them but I wouldnt think twice they came form the warehouse just recently.
I am always shopping at Menards and getting rebates. In fact my whole purcahse was bought using store credits I had lying around. Never had an issue with them word to the wise though avoid the "Junk" impulse buys. On occasion I am tempted to buy stuff becasue its FAR. I have enough glass and multisurface cleaners to last me a life time.

Already have the other Nextec tools, this was the last one, $10, great deal. I got the last one at my local store.
I'm saving up my Menards store bucks for a big purchase, maybe a new lawnmower??

picked up the last 2 @ the Cottage Grove, MN location. One hammer and one multi. Awesome deal at $10 bucks! Thanks

Picked up one of each, great deal! Cedar Rapids South location had 10 of each left.
Thanks
