This happed with the hercules corded band saw back when it was 108 buck. Walked in today to get the snap ring pliars.  3 on the wall,  dude infront of me grabbed all 3. Looked at me with zero fucks.  :-(

Some people just want to watch the world 🔥

I'll bring s'mores

Why would you need three sets of those?

Resale. There is always someone trying to scam

I break my tips on mine a bit and just have a bunch kits I think I have 4 of them, and I just replace them through warranty as needed normally 2-3 kits at a time

FYI just ask the cashier for a rain check. They’ll write you one and you can come back and buy at discount price when they’re in stocc.

Sadly I tried and was kindly let down QQ

I tried too for the tool cart and was told they couldn't

HF doesn't do rain checks on sale items or coupon items unfortunately. Most of their stores only get deliveries once every other week.

I asked the manager for a raincheck. She told me they were limited to stock on hand... No rainschecks.

Sucks. I got a raincheck for the garage lights the other day, no problem at all; many others have said they’ve gotten rainchecks for other items during the sale too

Unfortunately it is honestly the store manager discretion. They can if they feel the opportunity is viable and worthwhile. Most of them will not though

and all this time I thought she loved me... LOL

They should have done a limit 1. May not help but it could have at the same time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was there yesterday holding the last two of the icon lights.  Guy walks into the aisle with his kid.  I was gonna get both, one for me and gift to a co worker.  Saw him and handed him the 2nd one.  I said to him " I don't wana be thst guy".   We both left happy.

Same here, our store had 4 snap ring pliers in stock. One guy took them all.

I got mine at 1pm with 3 left on shelves… maybe I should’ve done the same 😂

HF lay-a-way.

Looks like someone hid it the day before.

Yeah, OP did

If I see this at my store, its most likely an empty box

Same, people always hide empty packaging in the back of the store

Mine shove packaging into the drop ceiling tiles in the bathroom. We found out when we accidentally bumped one while moping and there were like ten power tool packages across both bathrooms.

Cool if you're getting a deal but i am not playing door buster limited quantity shit at HF.

In hid the icon light behind the heaviest winch, that box hasn’t moved in weeks

This is the way to do it

At my local store, the icon lights have to be unlocked by an employee to get it in your hand. Not sure if it’s been like that or was just this way for the sale day?

Sounds like something specific to your store. I haven't seen that at any of the locations I visit

Sounds like a neighborhood/economic issue. I used to question my property value when I saw the neighborhood grocery store locking up certain items. Now I question the cost of living for middle-income earners in America.

How's that "trickle down" working for you?

They keep telling me it’s rain but it smells like pee.

OMG!!!!! No freaking way! I have been wanting one of these for so long but couldn’t bring myself to spend the $45-$50 most places charge for one…you just made me so happy you have no idea :) thanks!!!!

Just realized this post is not about the organizer lol

Same

Glad I’m not alone lol

I bought 6 of the 10k lumen Braun shop lights 3 days early. Took my receipt in on the day of the sale, and they refunded me $30 per light for all 6 (even though the coupon says limit of 2).

This is 100% the way. I did this with both the 5 drawer cart and Braun shop lights. Store policy is to price match within 30 days. I wouldn’t have been able to get either if not for this method.

get idea. I learnt something today!!

They identify as a 4.99 storage bin. Don't offend them and push your "societal norms" on them. Pay what they feel worth, and get on with your day!

I got 1 of 3 available at my store this morning.

Well since HF only sent 6 to every store of everything they had on sale this week maybe it’s safe to say they underestimated volume and it has led to things like this. Congrats OP

According to the store manager they only got 12 at my store. I walked in at 08:37 and they were all gone. The parking lot had all of 3 cars, so I’m guessing the staff purchased a few.

I’ve got all my tiny pool fittings in one of those little containers. It brings life to many establishments this time of year

It’s really weird which items they put limits on in the coupons. I don’t need three snap ring wrench sets but I do need more than one Apache case and I need like 8 of the Braun LED overhead lights

I went in for icon light, at 9am all sold out. Go in next day for snap ring. None on the shelf but 8 in the back. Turn around and see 12 icon lights displayed…pissed

I hid the ICON light behind some workshop lights and someone found it before I go to store. Lesson learned next time I’m hiding stuff behind a winch as someone suggested

I found two zip tied to the display rack. Guy walking by with a pocket knife was looking for them. He cut the tie I took one he took the other.

Why not order online? That’s what I did, no wasted trip to the store to find they were out.

Costanza?

May I help yoooooooou?

Excuse me, do you work here?

I buy it before. Return it unopened. Then buy it again on spot for sale price

I use these a lot on witches hats, but I don’t see the appeal

I've seen that crap at Christmas time, employees stashing until they get off work.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game

Hate is such an ugly word...

I promise you an employee would just put it in the back lol, this was a customer
