Thanks for the new list! I think I’ll get the Klein MM400 for $35 instead of the kit as I have most of the other stuff. This is an auto ranging multi meter more than half off. Maybe worth adding to the list.
Stuart
You’re welcome, I’m glad to help!
bwh
That JET clamp deal is great! In for the max limit
Stuart
That’s the only JET parallel clamp deal I saw this year so far! I assume the other sizes sold out, but 24″ is still a great size to stock up on. That’s the size I use most.
fred
MaxTool seems to have a Jet Clamp sale going on. Probably not as good as Acme’s BOGO – but looks to be cheaper on other sizes
https://www.maxtool.com/pages/search-results?q=jet%20clamps
fred
I tried out the link I posted – as a test – The 70460 will cost you $100.43 – Buy 2 at $200.86 and you get free shipping. The same 2 via Acme will cost you $215.98 plus an added $30 handling fee.
LG
So I have 2x- 24” Bessey parallels & just grabbed 2x- 48” Jorgensen parallels for $40 a pop at lowes! Jet says that have “Patented blah blah blah” clamps tech lol
Is there any reason or features that I should favor the Jets versions over the bessey or jorgensen parallels? That’s you kno of lol
Stuart
The question to ask is whether the Jorgies perform as well as your Besseys, which you’ll be in a position to answer firsthand.
If you cannot tell the difference in use, then there’s no reason to look closer at Jet.
From what I’ve heard, Jet and Bessey are best.
I’ve only bought Bessey. I’ve tested cheaper clamps and there were significant differences in clamping performance.
Lyle
I watched a video comparison of parallel clamps on YouRube a month or so ago. It was done by 731 Woodworks. The results were a bit surprising. The tests weren’t as good as project farm, but it’s certainly worth a watch if you’re in the market for parallel clamps.

Stuart, the Olight Baton 3 Rechargeable LED Flashlight directs to the BOSCH RAP7PK 7-Piece Reciprocating Saw Blade Set.
I have this light and love it! You’ve really been burning the midnight oil, I appreciate it, thanks!
Stuart
Thank you! *fixed*
These deals are always a chore to sort through, and it can be far worse on a mobile device. I can only hope it’s helpful, and if not, a snapshot of the deals landscape helps when prepping and researching deals the next time around. =)
There’s a downside – aside from how fatiguing it can get this time of year. I ordered several items off the list myself, and probably wouldn’t have if I hadn’t take so close a look!
As for the Olight Baton 3, I like everything about it, and am also growing to like the larger “Pro” that launched recently.
Bill
Is the Gearwrench tap and die set HSS or carbon steel?
JCDIY
It’s carbon steel, but well made and fares well in comparisons. I recently got the largest set, use cutting oil meticulously and I’m pretty happy with it. Taps will wear out eventually, and I’ll replace the worn ones with HSS from an industrial supplier. It’s much cheaper that way instead of going with a full HSS set from the start. Same tactic with router bit; start with a well-rounded economical set and replace worn out bits with high quality singles.
MM
I think for taps & dies you really need to consider your application before deciding to go cheap or not. When taps fail it’s not just the tap itself which needs to be replaced, now you’ve got the broken-off tip of the tap stuck in your workpiece. If you’re lucky you can remove it without too much effort but a broken tap can easily turn into a huge and very expensive ordeal if it’s broken off in something critical. If you have to tap a hole in something important it is WELL worth springing for a HSS tap, in my opinion.
Bill
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve broken a few taps many years ago, before I learned the difference. While I understand the argument of a cheap set for chasing threads, I just don’t think it’s worth the risk that you detailed above.
Stuart
A set like the one above isn’t ideal for fabrication projects, it’s more of an “I need to repair something fast and the industrial supply shops can’t get me the taps or dies I need until tomorrow/several days from now” type of product.
I buy 3pc taper, plug, bottoming tap sets, and sometimes spiral tapes, for fabrication projects.
fred
Walton and others do make tap extractors. They come in style to fit the number of flutes on the stuck tap. the sometimes work. We had customers (mostly aviation mechanics) who would come to us to remove a broken tap from important assemblies. We had EDM (spark discharge) machining equipment that almost always was successful – and profitable (for us anyway.)
Bill
Stuart, who are your go to industrial suppliers for high quality HSS tap and die sets and the 3pc sets you spoke of?
Stuart
@Bill
MSC Direct – I check their sales flyers on occasion for promos.
I have purchased Triumph, Cleveland, and Hertel in the past, among others.
In the MRO catalog, page 55, they have Hertel 3pc HSS hand tap sets, e.g. 1/4-20 at $12.89.
Their search is pretty good, and popular products have links to catalog pages where you can see more brands and SKUs.
I don’t recall the last time I bought individual dies – I generally use taps almost exclusively. On the extremely rare occasion I need a die, I reach for a general purpose set.
MM
Bill, I know you didn’t direct your question my way, but just to share, I have bought small numbers of quality taps from McMaster-Carr before, including 3pc sets. I have also bought from Tool Tech Industrial and Bass Tool, though those may well be local to where my machining business used to be located in Texas.
If you are looking for sets you will rarely find brand names. Most industrial vendors stock three tiers of taps, “import”, “quality import” , and “USA”. They will all be HSS. “Import” is a low end grade (think Harbor Freight) and isn’t worth your time. “quality import” will be somewhere like Germany or Japan and will typically be good value for money, the USA grade will also be good.
DRT42
I got that same Gearwrench set a couple of years ago, and haven’t broken any yet. Not saying that it’s the greatest set, but I do use it for fabrication projects and I have come to like the pass-through tap handle. That said, you can find 3-piece sets in HSS at McMaster. I just ordered one about an hour ago.
Bill
MM & DRT42,
Thank you both for your reply. I know that quality HSS will cost multiples of the cheaper carbon steel, so I’ll see if want to continue to buy a few as the need arises or go for a set.
fred
We had a master machinist in charge of our tool room in our metal fabrication business. he probably forgot more about taps and dies than I ever learned. But my take is that it might be better to buy a few pieces at a time as the need arises rather than speculate that you need a full set. Alternatively – you might look at the common sizes that you might encounter in the shop/home/car etc. and buy quality ones to meet those needs.
Like Stuart – I find that I use taps more often than dies – and having starting, plug and bottoming taps can be useful. For some applications, specialty (spiral, pulley taps are better suited to the material. With dies – I’ve always thought of solid dies (round or hexagonal) as being better suited for cleaning up threads – while split (or 2-piece acorn) dies better suited for creating threads because of their adjustable cut depth. Early in my life I bought a few sets of taps (Greenfield Tap&Die – then made in Massachusetts. While I’ve used some of the components extensively – many others still have their protective coatings intact some 50 years on.

FYI for anyone looking at blowers, or if Stuart wants to drop an affiliate link:
The EGO 765 CFM blower with 5ah battery kit is on Amazon for $289 right now (has a $30 coupon check box). That’s shipped/sold by Amazon, so full warranty. Not sure how long it’s going on for.
Lightyear
EGO on Amazon? Thank you, didn’t think of that retailer for my growing fleet of EGO!
Stuart
Thanks! I added it in. They also have 5Ah and 4Ah kits for the 650 CFM blower, both at $199.
TMS
The Acme clamp link doesn’t work for me, and when I look up the clamps on the site I cannot find the 2 for one deal … what am I missing?
Jack
It’s not you. The Acme site responds with, “We are sorry, but no results were found for:” using the above link https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/acme/jet-promotion%3C/a%3E. Bummer.
Stuart
Sorry – this means they sold out of allotted inventory or the promotion expired.
Jack
Regarding the Bosch 12pc Spade Drill Bit Set, I was using these yesterday – it’s amazing to me how the bit quickly (!) pulls itself through the wood while drilling up through 2×4 framing using either the 3/4″ or 1″ bit.
Lightyear
The closer you look, Stuart, the more the temptation! Job related risk I guess. Thank you for helping me find some great deals so far tho I’m sure my wife doesn’t appreciate your efforts as much lol!
👍🏼
Stuart
You’re welcome!
It’s not that surprising though – if I’m scouring, sorting, and filtering to find deals I would buy myself, I sometimes end up buying them myself, if not for personal use then for review after the new year.
Lindsay
The Sata 25pc Precision Bit Screwdriver Set is no longer available.
However, there is a good deal on a SATA 6-Piece Stubby Ratcheting Screwdriver Set at the provided link. I just added it to my collection.
Greg
Yea, the Sata 25pc Precision Bit Screwdriver set redirects to a 6-piece Stubby now. If anyone is absolutely wanting that original specific SATA model, it is available at lowes, but it appears to be standard retail price. of $23 instead of the sub $9 the amazon price tag was at.
https://www.lowes.com/pd/SATA/5013596689
Stuart
Thanks! I’ll leave the link just in case it comes back, which does happen during sales like these.
JamesR
I did! Not sure I need one, but I want one.
JamesR
That should be “It did.”
Mark M.
Those Craftsman magnetic parts trays are awesome. I’ve had them for about 3 years and they are well-worn but still 100%. I also love that they collapse flat for storage AND the magnets allow them to stick to the side of a toolbox when you aren’t using them. Make great gifts, too.

Nice deal on gunsmith toolset
Limited-time deal: Wheeler Engineering Gunsmithing Screwdriver Set with Durable Construction and Storage Case for Gunsmithing and Maintenance https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C63M7O/
fred
Nice price – $25 more at Brownells – and they say that $71 is a sale price.
Gunsmith screwdrivers and bits are useful for any application (beyond firearms) when you want a close tolerance fit of driver and screw slot. helps prevent buggering up the screw head when driving.
jabeg
Can anyone cut to the chase and direct me to quality for the dollar Oscillating Multi-Tool Blades to fit a cordless Dewalt? Much appreciated
Stuart
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYXRWK0/?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=toolguyd-20
If you want tool-free, you’ll need split-ring blades. I don’t know of any good quality value buys in that style. Maybe Imperial Tool?
A lot of people seem to like cheap blades, I haven’t found any I could recommend.
Rich
I bought the DeWALT oscillator. Also, the Bosch OSL114C blades 10 pack. Then realized ooops, Starlock. But someone at Amazon comments said get an adapter – I have yet to find that DeWALT to Starlock adapter. I really want the high quality blades but hope an adpater isn’t bulky otherwise maybe will let the DeWALT go? I’d rather have the blades I think.
TLDR: looking for a DeWALT to starlock adapter, unless not advised to go that route. (homeowner use)
Stuart
Starlock accessories fit most brands’ tools.
It’s Starlock tools that are only exclusively tied to Starlock blades.
Dewalt tools usually come with an adapter that allows for universal-type blades. Or they work tool-free with split-ring blades.
Once my blades come in I can confirm whether or not they work with my Dewalt OMT.
MM
I have a slightly older model of the Dewalt OMT, it came with an adapter to use starlock and other types of blades. The downside is that this adapter requires you to use a screw to secure the blade, it does not not work with the super-fast blade change that is otherwise a major benefit of the Dewalt tool.
Amazon does super easy returns so if it were me I’d return the starlocks and get some standard type blades. I watch when Home Depot has Milwaukee blades on sale and then I stock up. They’re not the best OMT blades I’ve used but they are very good and they are often on special for good prices. I also don’t hesitate to buy Imperial Blades, Diablo, and Dewalt but it’s usually easier to find good pricing on the Milwaukees.
Home Depot has a few good deals right now, for example:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Oscillating-Multi-Tool-Blade-Kit-20-Piece-49-10-9220/317301809
Be sure to play around with the “number of pieces” option, there are several very good deals here.

The Craftsman parts trays are out of stock on Amazon but same price at Lowes

I’m looking at the DeWalt 14 piece drill set with the tough case. Does DeWalt sell the individual dovetail inserts to make up your own case? I’m thinking I could put some 2 inch bits in the space above the smaller drill side and have a nice jobsite box.
Stuart
Not that I’ve seen. They only recently started selling custom case components, but filled inserts.
As bad as it sounds, if you want inserts, the base way to get them is with bit assortments.
The MaxFit 30pc set sells for $9.97 with free shipping at Home Depot and comes with 2x insert bit holders and 3x power bit holders.
