for those who still have their $50 coupon and wondering what to buy, could be a price match opportunity to Ace Hardware for craftsman blower or trimmer (below). If successful and you can also apply the $50 coupon, then those items become essentially free? Just a thought...


CRAFTSMAN V20 200 CFM Handheld Blower Kit for $50

Was able to make it to an event. Got there right at 10am when it started. They ran out of batteries at 10:02. Was one of the last people to get one. Bought a palm nailer.

Another option for these $50 off Qs.

Lowes has a Craftsman Multi-tool KIT as the Deal of The Day for $70. https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMA...5001914501

Quote from seungsd :
Craftsman didn't show up today (Lowe's--Hawthorne). Jose, a store employee, said he got no email or call about the event being cancelled. Jose called the SBD rep but got no answer.

About a dozen came to the non-event and waited, and waited, and waited. We talked about power tools, gophers, and raccoons.

SBD, if you're reading this, we left our contact info with Jose.
You sure you were looking at the correct link? The only event scheduled on May 25 was in Lumberton NJ.

Quote from Glee217 :
I have a Black & Decker drill that has a battery built into it. Does this qualify?
From Lowes website it says:

. Trade-in must be a qualifying rechargeable (removable) power tool battery (any brand) to receive one

I'm not trying to discourage you but be ready for a "NO"....Maybe Craigs list free might have a battery you can use or Market Place or something like that

Showed up yesterday and the collection box was almost full and there was no one in line. The Rep
said there was a line of people early and he didnt want to keep them waiting so it took me 3 1/3 mins to get my kit and coupon...used the coupon online...I'm having difficulties registering my products anyone else?

This was BS. Got there at 9 and realized it was starting from 10 am to 2 pm. So I waited in my car. Apparently people were waiting inside since 8 am according to the rep. He gave out the batteries starting at 9:55 and was out of them by 10. Why would they send him with a crate that looked like it only carries maybe 10 batteries. The slot was from 10 am to 4 pm for the exchange. It seems they did not plan well for how many people would show up.

This was a new posting of different locations since the original one--at least for Virginia!

So, NOT "boo", but YAY! Worth driving the 24mi for the freebee and $50 coupon, YMMV.

Not a dud for me! 4 kits so far, and at least one more event to go to. Maybe 3.

It might depend by what the rep considers a "tool battery". I was able to turn in a Dyson vac battery, but YMMV.
