Thanks HD. From what I am seeing regarding the weather here it looks like I will have plenty of time to score a good deal before we ever get safe ice.
If I agreed with you we would both be wrong!

Marine General just sent an email on their auger sale. Email states 8" Eskimo Pistol or the Strikemaster Lite Flite for $159. When I load the site, they're showing $169, but still a good deal.

Just received a FB msg ..MG states an error in their Email and the price is $169 ..but will honor $159 if you call them ..but dont forget shipping .

Scheels will honor the $169 price via chat or phone call ..and no shipping . Chat @ bottom left

I see that Menards is having their grocery bag sale, 15% off. I'm gonna cross my fingers and see if there are any Flame King pounders in stock, and if not, I may pick up a Ken Onion sharpener. If I remember right, if you buy the Onion version, Menards also gives you a set of spare belts...

I hope if anyone here grabs the Metabo 36V deal they will report back during or after the season and let us know how the higher voltage does and more important if the 2.5 AH batteries get you the number of holes you need. I think that would have been a great deal if it came with 2 batteries, both 5 AH size.

I have not tried the Metabo, but electric motors can be designed to use whatever voltage, within reason. The biggest thing to remember is that the energy in the battery is Volts*Amps*hours, so a 36V 2.5 AH battery has the same energy as a 18V 5 AH battery.

There is the problem that some manufacturers market batteries by max voltage and come by nominal- 20V and 18V tools in general have the same batteries. My 18V RIdgid as over 20V when full. I don't know what Metabo does, so my math is approximate.

I believe the link you posted is the non float suit..I believe the one below is the right link

https://www.glensoutdoors.com/anorakk-sikre-multi-climate-buoyance-suit.html

Yes you are correct. But either is a good deal if you wear a size medium.

Thanks for posting. Lost a pair of strike gloves last week and just ordered a pair of these as a replacement.
Fern got sick in ‘94 and missed 6 weeks on the hardwater with mono, don’t know what that means but I’ve used braid ever since

Really tempted to buy the Anorakk suit. Primarily because I hate my Trekker bibs. Currently have the Trekker suit. Anyone have experience with the Anorakk suit? Website doesn’t have the insulation listed unless I’m missing it.

I believe it has been discontinued so NOS ...and after a lil web search no indication of a warmth/insulation factor

This may be a good purchase ..100g of insulation comparable to most entry level suits ..SI Predator or Clam Rise

I bought one of their suits at least 4 years ago. It is a very well made suit that keeps me plenty warm. The only issue I had was the back of the legs on the bibs are not insulated. I understand this maybe so the suit does not flip you over if you go in the water.
 I just wear a pair of wind pants under the bibs and all is fine.
If you are a size med, it is a great deal.

I like the bibs. Great padding with plenty of storage.  I'd buy another Anorakk suit if they had an XL.

I have one. It’s a bit bulky but warm. Last season I needed to stitch the crotch seam but overall I like it for cold weather. Used it hard for about 3-4 seasons.

Thanks for posting that!  I have a pair on the way.  My gauntlets somehow went MIA last season, these look like a pretty comparable replacement.  :thumbsup:

Deal is restocked it seems ..dont forget your free tool (DCD998)

https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-Power-Detect-XR-POWER-DETECT-2-Tool-20-Volt-Max-Brushless-Power-Tool-Combo-Kit-with-Soft-Case-Charger-Included-and-2-Batteries-Included/1002097720

That is a screaming deal! I paid the same amount last year for just the DCD998, 8ah battery, fast charger, and carrying bag. Wish I had waited!
