Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Yes I scanned them. I’m going to stop and check them on my way home today to see if they have dropped here yet.

Checked in my local Home Depot for the 2 pack of 4Ah Ryobi batteries and they are gone. Salesman says they sold out at the $75 discount.

Did any of y’all actually open up those Ryobis yet

The Ryobis have the Samsung 20Q, not the 20R. The R is considered a little better.

Checked my HD these are $50.04

Checked New Hartford, NY and no Rigid twin packs in sight.
Might try during the week, one guy that works is real sharp and will have all the info.
He was a Sears tool man his whole life and always pointed out what you should buy and what not to buy.

Thanks, dchomak. Given that they are Qs and not Rs, would you still consider that a good deal? Is it still worth $50?

If you had the choice between getting the 12 20Rs from Ridgid or 20 20Qs from Ryobi (both $50 at my HD, what would you do?

According to the reviews by HKJ, the R’s are slightly better. But maybe that lies within the margin of error for just a few samples? Both will output 20A at full capacity. In a drill pack I don’t think it matters. In something like a flashlight, a little better becomes a “must have”

So I went to my local HD today to check if the Ryobi packs had dropped. They had and all 3 that were there the other day were in a cart on their way to checkout before I could get my hands on them. One guy bought all 3 sets.

So off I went to hit up some of the other stores. I found one pack sitting on a shelf unlabeled at another store and snatched it up for my father.

I then found some of the Ridgid 2 packs and picked up one pack to tear down for the high current cells.

I took apart my single stack and got 5 of these…

!

Any idea what brand? I wondered if they were LG’s.

Also, can someone give me a short and sweet verrsion of how to get these deals at the self scan? I’ve read a lot at the front of this thread, but didn’t really see an explanation.
Thanks! :slight_smile:

These deals for the drill packs are on, it is just that maybe every store has not updated their prices yet. elsewhere in this thread there are other deal types going on that require skill and a lot of luck.

are you going to upload a picture?

Here’s how:
