I hadn't either. I've been looking around for a good price for awhile, and found a welding forum that talked about it. Apparently you still qualify for the Miller mail in rebates as well, so that's another $100 in my pocket.

Their search tool and listing are pretty junky, makes finding what you want somewhat difficult, but for 30% off I'll search for hours. Apparently they're somehow connected with Grainger from what I've read.

Grainger prices? If so, then 30% off is still 10% over list.

Some are, some aren't. This worked out to be about $400-$500 less than I could find anywhere else.

Zoro Tools is awesome! I have been getting tools from there for our oilfield service shop for a few years now. They have deals all the time, and send a calendar with their discount codes throughout the year.

They are no where near the prices of Grainger. ZORO and Tool Topia are the 2 emails I ALWAYS read through, because their deals are usually great.

I have a few customers on the route that swear by Zoro Tools. They usually buy thru Amazon.

I dont buy from Grainger unless I absolutely have to, simply b/c of how proud (read - $$) they are of what they sell.

I'm on the mailing list, so anytime I catch a sale I will try to post it here.

I'm agreed that I wouldn't buy anything from grainger unless I absolutely needed it and they had it in stock. Zoro, whether associated with Grainger or not, has worked for me so far. As with any purchase though, you should definitely research before buying. They may not have the best price, even with the sale.
