I spend big money every week at Menards. Comparing prices to Home Depot and Menards wins every time. And with the rebates, you can send in expired ones and still get the rebate. I keep a collection and send them in once a year.

[@alwayshustle5591]

Menards claim is that they can build a complete house (to a certain spec) with what they have in stock. They are definitely more of a true hardware store. On a related note, I’ve been using that same 41-inch Masterforce top box and cabinet since 2009 and it has held up fantastic. Definitely recommend them.

[@markwicker2664]

The Masterforce tool cabinets are made by Quality Craft, maker of Montezuma. I know, because I lost a key for my Masterforce and had to contact Quality Craft for a replacement.

[@kurdtpatton5039]

Hello Bear, I work as a service tech for a home improvement retailer that sells the Ego line and I have to say, i have never seen so many failures of equipment within 2 years in my life. These products fail quickly.

[@flyingbob297]

Good luck getting the rebate, I have over $20 coming and it’s been over 12 weeks, same with my neighbor.

[@Zeppodone1000mg]

I’ve turned in over $200 in rebates and have received only 1 $19 rebate so far, my wife sent them in back in September ....

Master force hand tools made in the USA

[@mike1983mn]

I've had the Masterforce 41" toolbox for over a year now and it's been great. I had originally planned to buy a US General 44", but the Masterforce seems to be way better quality. My only complaints is that it has fewer drawers than the US General, but the drawers are deeper and taller, so you do get more cubic inches of storage overall. I paid about $100 more than if I had gone with the US General, but I think it was worth the extra cost.

[@erikaustin4223]

The US General lies. It's 42 inches and 44 with the damn handle on. If you DO NOT PLAN on buying a us general top DO NOT BUY a us general bottom box. There is not a tool box on the planet that is 42x22, the closet I've found that's not us general is 38x18 and that's a masterpiece box top. -former Harbor Freight employee.

[@KingYang05]

My only gripe about Menards is their search function on their website. If you look for, say, bathroom vanity lights, you’ll get hundreds of results for bathroom stuff, vanities, and lights. It’s seriously crap. Other than that, it’s a great store.

[@gbwillson]

You can refine the searches in several ways, including price and local stores.

[@n9wox]

Also, no user feedback/product reviews on Menards website.

[@gbwillson]

@@n9wox agreed, but reviews can’t be trusted. However, if you can glean the honest reviews from the paid reviews, they can give some insight as to features, personal experiences , features, etcetera.

Since they have had their seemingly never ending 11% off sale it seems the prices have increased to make up for the rebate. Then there is the issue that if someone goes in to buy less than $10.00 worth of items what is the point of submitting the rebate since it has to be mailed in, and a stamp costs 50 cents.

[@n9wox]

You can combine multiple rebates in the same envelope. Also, they're not super strict about mailing them in late.

[@lordrayden3045]

Just keep it till you get a bunch And they don’t really go e a shut if you mail them in late

[@pacatack2]

Spoke with a store associate last week, they said their Black Friday is going to be a one week event starting after thanksgiving, and I noticed these deals end 11/25, so another video may be in order! Especially since menards is known in my neck of the woods as having the biggest and craziest Black Friday deals in the area and this catalog didn’t impress me too much.

[@GCrocker662]

Menards almost always has an 11% sale going on. Shop there quite frequently.

[@KameraShy]

And if they don't, just wait a couple weeks and it will be back.

[@tylerf9206]

Menards is more built around building materials rather than tools. Home depot and Lowes don't even hold a candle in that category, but again menards kinda lacks in tool variety

[@Studio23Media]

Yeah, especially with power tools. The biggest brands they carry are Bosch and Black and Decker. They have a lot of good tool accessory type of stuff though.

[@1990hondacivic]

I mean the master force tools aren’t bad, especially if you only need it occasionally, I’d rather spend a fraction of the price for a tool I use every now and then, rather than the expensive brands, now if I was a contractor or someone who uses tools on a daily basis, probably not, I work at menards in outside yard and order pickup, so sometimes we use the power tools and I must say there pretty good for the price

[@KameraShy]

Their building materials lots and warehouses are huge. I have suspected they go after the contractor marker.

[@paulsmith9341]

I bought a pair of Master Force 9" diagonal cutters.I had to go through the whole stock to find a pair that I couldn't see daylight between the jaws.

[@benkavalier5680]

Menards used to have a 30" angled Montezuma toolbox, they now stock a mastercraft version which is identical.

[@brianlittle3452]

I bought a Menards Masterforce side cabinet. If there were any problems - the documentation sent me to “qualitycraft.ca” which makes Montezuma tool boxes and chests. The instructions to change the lock were also from Montezuma. Menards also sells tool chest/cabinets under the Performax brand. Performax is Menards in house brand that is less expensive than Masterforce. I do not know who makes Performax. Menards also sells Craftsman boxes and cabinets. Stanley Black & Decker sells those.

[@ericbastion2149]

Get your hardware and grab a gallon of milk, some eggs and a frozen pizza. The Parade brand of food is great, especially the spinach n artichoke dip.

[@Studio23Media]

People who don't have Menards near them are really missing out. Sometimes I go just to find things I don't need. 😂 Also, if the rebate thing says Online, they have to accept it legally. You can get the rebate for things you buy online, but can only use the rebate credit in store.

[@JordanHaisley]

Also HomeDepot in areas where Menards is present will match the 11% rebate.

I don't think this is their actual Black Friday ad, this has mostly their 11% rebate stuff with a couple black friday deals. I'm not sure if they are doing a regular black friday sale this year.

[@Obarkc]

I think they might be because on my ad it said this was the last 11% of 2020

[@levondanko628]

Take power tools out of the equation and Menard's destroy's Lowe's and Home Depot by almost any metric, especially price and randomness of useful supplies. They have way more of a neighborhood hardware store feel than HD

[@MarkH10]

I'm immediately impressed by Menard's strategy, indicated by that map. That intense grouping of stores makes for great synergies they need to compete and thrive. First, Good Housekeeping, using US Gov. data finds that the average distance moved away from Mom and Dad is 18 miles, with 11 moves in a lifetime. So people in these areas crossing State or County lines will likely find a very familiar shopping experience, Menard's. Second. Keeping good people in the company is also easier for the same reason. If you want a promotion, it's close if not immediately available in your store, or district. Third. Likewise, Distribution drivers in the company can drive a reliable route, and reasonably be home, while supplying a multibillion dollar company. This means a great deal to employee satisfaction. HEB in San Antonio has $25b in annual sales with a total distribution footprint of 150,000 sq. miles. Only 60% of Texas. No route driver at HEB has to spend any time away from home, in SA. Menards' map very much reminds me of that graphic. Forth. Competition penetration is dubious. the 2 bigger companies have a headache with so many stores from #3 crowding them. I recall grocery chains 3x HEBs' size which moved out of Central Texas in the 80's. Simply cannot compete. The overall result is good customer, good employee, good management relationships. Now, they just have to work on the human factor, and not screw it up. That reputation I cannot comment on, I've never seen a Menard's that I'm aware of. I hear good things at school, here in classes at YTU.

[@bensond32]

Menards is one of my favorite stores to shop at!

[@flyboy2610]

Two days ago I bought the Evolution R185SMS+ 7-1/4" miter saw (for its metal cutting capabilities). I have been saving my rebate coupons for a few months. Brought my out-the-door price down from $199 to $75. I save up my rebate receipts until I have $50-75 worth and then send them in. And even though I only paid $75 for the saw, I got a rebate receipt for $22 (11% of $199).

[@fl8548]

Menards has a better selection in lawn care products by far. My lawn is the best looking lawn on my block

[@stephenertz430]

Their cabinets and wood was better than the other two big stores I would definitely shop them before HD and Lowes

[@davedavis1616]

When it comes to building materials Menards beats the other two big box stores no problem. Now when it comes to tools the others may have Menards beat. That is up for debate. I have a lot of masterforce hand tools and cordless tools. They have served me well.

[@KameraShy]

This popped up in my feed 10 months later, but still very informative. I have wondered who makes Menards tools. I am 15 minutes away from one with a Home Despot along the way. I always find Menards prices better, even before the 11% rebate. And, yes, it is in the form of a store credit redeemed in the store, after mailing in a receipt and simple form. They are very efficient and prompt at processing them. They don't expire and you can use part of it, using the balance later, like a gift card. For me, they always get redeemed so I don't lose out.

[@matthewhauserman4755]

Most of the Menard's brand (Masterforce) hand tools are made by Apex Tool Group and their power tools are made by Chervon. Most would put them in a prosumer category, good enough for professionals but more geared towards consumers. I haven't had a complaint with any Masterforce tools and I've just about phased out every tool I used to own with them.

[@jackoutlaw9754]

I have their toolbox 36 x 24 top and bottom and I love that toolbox I only ever paid $25 for it that’s from saving up all my rebates over a year

The rebate is only good for use in-store, but the rebate checks/merchandise credit checks/whatever don't expire. I was there 3 days ago and watched a guy with $790 worth of floor tiles use multiple rebate checks (some were pretty tattered) to knock the cost down to... $18 out the door. Not $180. $18.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

While I don't own any Master Force power tools, I'll definitely be checking into them if/when Porter Cable completely goes away. Performax (another brand mentioned in the TTI lawsuit) is also a Menards brand. I have several of the Performax 20" 3 drawer tool boxes living in my race car trailer. At around $50(regular price), they're comparable to, but I think better than, the low end Craftsman 20" boxes. Apex has produced Master Force hand tools for years. They used to be made in Texas but have since moved overseas. They're still high quality tools but the prices haven't come down at all.

[@grigs249]

Menards has huge building materials selection, but their treated lumber is wet like a sponge and dimensionally is all over the place but they carry nice cedar boards. The quality of some of their brands can be suspect, like their prehung doors, outdoor furniture etc. their bag concrete brand was called all star and it was junk but dirt cheap. Great selection of screws and hardware. Plumbing and electrical is great. Appliances not so much but they have a few. Their online order process hasn’t caught up to Lowe’s. Overall a good store but I have found what’s good at each box store that I stick to. For my area RP lumber is go to for treated.

[@btrswt35]

I was literally just there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. They just opened one in Wheeling, WV by Cabela's. I have to say, I was blown away by the store. In comparison to a typical Lowes or Home Depot, the store is huge. The tool section isnt huge but some of the prices are amazing. I picked up two 24" bar clamps for about $18 a piece. These bar clamps are big, heavy bar, and easily would sell for twice that. The fact that they also sell groceries and toys was another thing too. I didn't look at all the building supplies but the selection they have is more too. Wheeling is still 90 plus minutes away but I was reading that they had got a green light to start initial construction of one much closer so it will be great if they follow through.

[@rcud1]

I like Menards for things like insulating my garage and lumber, but not as much for tools although I did get a couple Knipex pliers on sale there. They also have a Toolshop brand that is like the cheaper Harbor Freight line, don't buy their cheap clamps though! They also sell Bosch, Craftsman and some other brands too. The 11% though is a pain and takes awhile to get your credit.

[@markwicker2664]

These look like their pre-Black Friday deals, as the prices listed are after 11% rebate, which the ad says ends 11/25.

[@analogoutdoors]

Hi there, Mr. Bear! LOL. I have a video suggestion, if I may? I see all kinds of tests to failure of ratchets, sockets, wrenches, etc, where the use of cheater bar is required to make that happen. 99% of the time that means very little because you aren't ever really supposed to use a pipe on the end of a tool. People do it, but you should really go get a breaker bar instead of busting up your nice ratchet. IMHO where the rubber meets the road is not whether or not it will break when you use it, because all of them will pass pretty much, if they are used BY HAND. The real test is how the tool actually fits the fastener; the tolerances for fit the tool is made to. I would love to see a video comparing THIS, as I think it would be more of a real world comparison. Do the cheaper tools fit as well as the more expensive ones?
