K-Mart has dropped their clearance prices in some locations, if not nationwide, on some of their lawn and garden tools. Thanks to mrdc who posted the lawn mower specials at K-Mart, I picked up two of their clearance mowers (Reg $309 for $77). While I was there getting the mowers, I noticed that the Craftsman Bushwacker Hedge trimmers were also reduced to almost giveaway prices. Their 22" 25cc gas hedge trimmer, which retails at Sears for about $200 is on sale for $40 (Item 7179635, SKU 02476101590). Another model with same specs, but different model # was $70. Their 20" electric Bushwacker (Item 7179952, SKU 02887751595) is only $15 (had been on clearance for $30 a couple of days ago). Companion 50 foot hoses were only $2.50 as noted in mrdc's post and were plentiful. YMMV and happy hunting!

edit: Some stores also have Craftsman electric Edgers for $30 (one local store had them for $60)(Reg $120). SKU 02887741256. ...YMMV.

Also, if you need a PM between K-Mart stores it completely depends on the CSR at the return desk and if she says "no", and whether you ask for the manager to make a command decision...I've had it go both ways --all depending upon luck of the draw of the CSR and manager. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. My local store has a policy of not adjusting or PMing clearance items. If the price has dropped at the same store, you can return it, wait for them to put it out for sale again, and then rebuy it at the lower price (if it is still available). A nice CSR will do all of that simultaneously for you --but most won't, requiring you to come back and take your chances that it hasn't been resold. Or you can just return it and buy it at another KM that has it at a lower price. I've also had some CSR's state that they will match Sears clearance prices (like on the Craftsman 7 1/4" circular saw for $10) and others say no to this. It is very much YMMV, even among local stores.

Thanks OP

I'd like those gas hedgetrimmers! I did pick up a $70 hedgehog for $11.90 a few weeks back ... and there weren't any gas trimmers then.

Just picked up Craftsman #7179951 Bushwacker 18" Electric Hedge Trimmer for $10.00

ProfessorKev said:Link op, where is it?

No link - B&M only.

My Kmart had them for $40 but I tried for 1/2 an hour to think of a use for these but could't...I have no hedges!
Had to go to Sears next and walked by the trimmers there and the 19" Craftsman was $140. I almost went back to Kmart!!

(No gas at the Eldersburg, MD location, RR's wife didn't look at electric.)

Just got finished using my 6 year old electric 20" bushwacker craftsman hedge trimmer. Still works like a charm!

Can you PM the brand name and model number for the lawn mower? I am in need of one. Thanks!

dmv71 asked about the mower:

Model No. 917.376054

Craftsman Rotary Lawn Mower 6.75 HP, Power-Propelled, 22" Rear Discharge with catch bag

I found one at each of the stores that I visited (they were the floor samples). I had been told that the stores didn't have ANY. They were regularly $309. I bought two for $77 each. I have a 5000 square foot grass (weed) lot on a slope. As I get older, I need all the help I can get in mowing it several times a year. Hopefully, the front wheel drive will help! With a 6.75 HP powered mower, you can't go wrong for $77! And again, thanks to mrdc who orignially posted the mower deal.

Good Luck!
