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, Iāll 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.
I have a lot of the old NiCd Ryobi tools and they really perform well using the compatible Li-Ion bats
yeah another wasted trip for me, they had a kit like that but with 2 batteries for $100, seems like they ship all the good stuff to Connecticut.
Sometimes they just make it too easy 
I just got back from traveling, here are some good deals I found.
This combination pack of square and level rang up for $2.53
Here is a 5 piece plier set I missed!
These Wiss duckbill cutters rang up for $3.53. You may still find them mixed in with a similar looking straight cutter.
And Ryobi now has a 6Ah battery!
But if you think that is something, Milwaukee now has a 12Ah battery pack, although I have yet to see one for sale.
These Feit recess can replacements are $3.83 for both the 6ā and the 4ā āā Great tint very bright
Also this 10 pack of bulbs was $7ā- one of my favorite bulb for tint
Jeez dchomak,
I like to just get one of those in my garageā¦ deals like that at the home depots near me are unicornsā¦
You must make a good living just selling home depot clearance stuffā¦
Yeh, I figured by now dchomak had single handedly bankrupted that store and forced it to shut down. 
Word, dude a legend on BLF for finding those great deals.
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 Glory Days of the Defiant Super Thrower appear over. Well letās see if this Black Friday and Xmas throws us a last hurrah.
Hmm, I have one of those sitting here right next to meā¦.
The Defiant 500-Lumen Utility LED Light is $9.97 at Home Depot. It runs on four AA batteries which are included. Actually the batteries provided are Defiant alkaline batteries with a 2023 expiration date.
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.>>
Nice work light. I might have to check it out.
Costco had a deal recently on a pack of 2 CAT 500lm work lights for $9.97, and they had 2 brightness levels, but that deal seems to have expired now.
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, Iām not too worried. Otherwise, it seems like a pretty good utility light. I like it. Thanks ActiveAl for heads up!
Pete, thank you for the photos, the YouTube tip, and helpful info about the run time. I looked at several of the YouTube videos, and this one was my favorite. In it, the guy disassembles the Defiant utility light, puts in a tripod mount, adds a stick-on heat sink to some very hot resistors on the circuit board, and reassembles. It is a little long (35 min) but was entertaining.
I thought Iād verify runtime on this Defiant 500 utility light. This is using AmazonBasics High Capacity NiMH cells and ceilingbounce app:
Test #1: NiMH
As you can see, the light flatlined after about 24 minutes and it would not turn back on. The cells were at 1.27V when I pulled them out and were fairly warm. I put in another set of cells, and the light still would not turn on. I waited half an hour. Still no signs of life. I opened it up, but did not see any burned elements and nothing smelled burnt. I put the light back together and it started working again. Weird. Iām currently recharging my NiMH cells so that I can redo the test and see what happens this time.
Wondering if itās some kind of overheat protection mechanism that shut it down? Maybe this light wasnāt designed to run on as much current as NiMH cells can deliver? I havenāt come across anything that would suggest thatā¦
Anyone else care to do a runtime test on theirs?
Test #2: NiMH
This time I had the light standing vertically up on its long side. The previous run where it failed, I had it standing on its shorter side - maybe it did not like that?
The light was still on when I ended the run at about 120 minutes, but the light was fairly dim at that point. Cells were down to around 0.9V after I pulled them out.
EDIT
Test #3: Alkaline
FYI, the light continued to run for a long time past 120 minutes, at this low, roughly 4-5% light output.
Initial lumen output on NiMH was about 35% higher compared to alkaline. But from about 100 minutes onward, the light output on alkaline cells was actually higher than on NiMH, although both were fairly dim at that point - only good for maybe a night light.
My question is how badly does having the tweeter in front of the woofer affect the bass?
i bought these instead .... Baby said.. bump bump
