Yeah just gotta be in the right location, Neptune and Union are about 1 hour each way from where I am so it’s tough to rationalize the drive not knowing if you will find something or come up empty.
I visited the HD in Chesterfield, MO, this morning and saw a cart full of various 1-cent LED bulbs, but I learned they were not for sale and were to be donated, probably to Habitat for Humanity.
I just came from my local Home Depot and saw these. 1/2 inch impact driver, battery and charger for $50!
There were 9 and as I was looking at them another guy walked up from the other side of the table.
Then I noticed that it included a 4Ah battery! When I told him that and showed him that the battery goes for $79 by inself, he grabbed 2.
So not to be out done, I grabbed 3 :laughing:
After off loading into my car I went back in. When I saw that the tool only package goes for $119.00, I bought 2 more. :sunglasses:
Then I went back in again, this all took about 10 minutes, and the last two were still there.
So I said what the heck, I’ll grab those too. :person_facepalming:
ugh, wow I need a new battery and charger for my older nicad ryoibi, this would be perfect if it even existed near me at that price, I was looking at a battery/charger set up for $60, I need to move to CT lol.
Been going a long time without posting up HD deals! Just not much out there nowadays, or too busy to post up? (Question directed to all, but dchomak first and foremost.)
The light is cool white and the beam is very homogeneous over about a 160 degree cone. The advertised 500 lumens looks accurate. Since I'm going to store it in the trunk of my car, I replaced the alkaleaks with AmazonBasics High Capacity Ni-MH AA batteries. Plenty of room is provided in the battery compartment for these slightly over-sized high capacity batteries. The overall build quality of this utility light is actually quite good.
This Home Depot special has been posted on BensBargains.com off-and on for a week, but I haven't noticed it in this thread. Pardon if I've double posted.
Edit: If anyone is interested in some limited test data on AmazonBasics High Capacity Batteries, check out this post. << Conclusion, you may be better off with Eneloop batteries for longevity. Edited.>>
After watching some youtube reviews, I ended up picking one up. The main complaint about it is fairly short runtime - realistically about 2 hours, but with plenty of NiMH cells on hand, I’m not too worried. Otherwise, it seems like a pretty good utility light. I like it. Thanks ActiveAl for heads up!
