    I fooled everyone but not my twin brother Waldo.

    They do look like the real thing don't they?

    It's the price that gave it away.

    In other news, they are discontinuing a ton of stanley lines including the faxmax chisels, looks like they are being replaced with the cheaper dynagrip model so the two stores both had 20% off now with more to come. Worth keeping an eye on maybe?.
    I got pretty much the same spiel in Wodonga.

    Artarmon has discounted with the 250mm going for $25 down from $36, the 150mm going for $15 down from $28 and the really small ones in similar lengths going for $8 and $10 respectively. Nowhere near as good as original score but just went out today.

    No specials in Maryborough Qld - was looked at very strangely when I queried the price as I "had heard" that they were being reduced.

    I think Bunnings are starting to stop stocking them
    might be an idea to check semi regularly, whatever that means

    My local has them half price now after I'd asked three times over the weeks, they arn't willing to drop them lower for me just yet.

    I did talk them down to $7 a chisel for blue handled Marples if I bought the six sizes in stock...couldn't say no to that could I? . Even though they are the asian made ones I figured it can't hurt to have a set of bashers around the shop to save the good ones from rough jobs.

    My Bunnings finally dropped their price so I grabbed all they had for $165
    So my clamp collection is gradually getting better

    You left one there at that price, you are allowed to buy odd numbers

    There were actually about 10 left when I left them there, sadly it was just before payday so while they had clamps, I lacked cash!

    Plus, I'd just bought a heap of the best buy style from Supercheap when they had the 50% off sale, so I do have quite a few clamps to hand now!
