A hot deal is a significant discount (including shipping) on DIY or workshop related tools, machines, clothing, books, lumber, or general interest items. Use your discretion. If you think we would be interested, post it. Please include a link, if online, a description, and the price. The discount amount in % or $$ is appreciated but not required.

Examples:
  • eBay Buy It Now (BIN)
  • Amazon sales, Deal of the Day (DOTD)
  • Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD)
  • Sales, Coupons, Coupon Codes
  • Lowes/HD closeouts
  • Craigslist finds
  • Black Friday

NOT hot deals:
20% off HF coupon, because they are available all the time.
Cheaply made tools.
eBay auctions, because we don't know the final price until the auction ends.
Your favorite or most useful tool.
Amazon "Just Launched" sellers with very low prices (scammer)
Amazon sellers that ask you to email first (scammer)

  • What is an Amazon Warehouse Deal? It is an item with damaged packaging or the item itself may be damaged. It could have been dropped off a truck, punched with a fork truck, opened for a photograph, or a customer return. They are sold as used and the manufacturer warranty may be void. Most of the AWD I've bought were only damaged packaging but you are taking a risk. Note: just because they are sold as "used" does not mean they are actually used. Some customers scam Amazon by returning junk instead of the real product and Amazon may ship that wrong item to you.

  • Amazon '2 Left' Deals Occasionally there will be a super low price on a new item that says "Only 2 left in stock". Buy one and the last one jumps back to full price or you can buy both at the reduced price. For example you might see a $50 widget for $8, 2 Left. If you buy one, the last one jumps back to $50, or you can buy both for $8 each ($16 total).

  • Once in a great while there will be "1 left" and Amazon decides they want it gone and it will drop in price until someone buys it.

I will start…

I own one of these and they are heavy duty but don't expect it to be square as received. You'll probably have to do some tweaking.

Shop Fox D3070 Aluminum Square, 18-Inch

$6.80

This an Amazon Warehouse Deal, that means there is only one available at this price. If you click the link and there is nothing there, someone already bought it.

For anyone in NW Washington (state): The Bellingham CL has a listing for a rotary phase converter, 10 hp rating, for $50. Admittedly, it looks a bit shabby, but the seller claims it works great.

I'd go for it myself, but my shop is about as full as I can tolerate. I'm aware of the advantages of 3 phase, but I'm getting along fine with what I have.

I see good deals a lot but not too often great, hot deals. If I see a great deal, I'll buy it and share with you later. This is a interesting tread.

BTW, I found that if you add a bunch of items to your cart on Zoro (make it over $100) and then wait, they will typically email you a 15% off coupon in 6-48 hours.

Also, Zoro offers a 5% kick back on Upromise, for anyone that is saving up for college for their kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews.

I got a Rockler "preferred customer" coupon in the mail a few weeks ago for 15% off. I didn't read it too closely until yesterday. I figured it was 15% off one item excluding a bunch of things. It turns out it is 15% off any regular priced item and it is good to use for the month of May (as many times as you like). Not sure if anyone else got this or read the whole thing, but I was impressed that it's good to use as much as you want for a whole month.
