RE: [DIY] Harbor Freight oscillating thing

I downloaded the lowes checker. It is missing some .dll files. They website offers the .dlls for separate download and a program to add them to the registry. I'm too squeamish to do that in these days of security concerns.

I did contact customer service by email and they said the rockwell sale was still available from their main online fulfillment center and I needed to place the order by telephone. So I am trying that route. The agent understood the issue and is presently searching the entire united states for me. I will be elated if she is successful, but expect disappointment. I will post what happens.

There are online inventory checkers for places like Home Depot, Target, Staples and Wal-Mart. You plug in a store number and item/model/product number and it spits out the surrounding stores along with the stock for each store.

I believe the only available inventory search for Lowes (outside of their site) is via this downloadable program which I have not tried. You can generate stock for up to 50 store locations.

I ordered this for shipment a few weeks ago and received it soon after. A few days ago I don't believe it was available for shipment but was available for in-store pick up (at least according to their stock in this area).

As for Lowes advertising something that is not available....I guess you could download the 3rd party Lowes inventory checker (I wish there were an online checker like the Home Depot one) to see if there are any available in-store nationally for confirmation on that. It would not surprise me if there very few (if any) left as I thought their stock would have been wiped out weeks ago at that price.
