Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

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:

Thanks for your help.

Crud. Linking here doesn’t break any Rules does it?

EDIT: Ive reread the ruls now :slight_smile:

I will grab those pics and post them for ya.

BTW, this is not the first time someone has bought new packs at a discount, only to rip them apart for the cells.

SAKplumber, here are your picsc\







Got it figured out…and you copied it all here :slight_smile: So whattdya think? LG?

Saynos & Panasonics in that thread. Samsung and possibly LGs in this one. Sweet :slight_smile:

Wonder if those are 26500's in there. Could be handy cells if they are.

That looks like a ryobi nicad pack to me

Yeah those are sub-C NiCad’s. The good thing about the 18V Ryobi tools is that the tools are compatible with the new Li-Ion packs.

It does appear that way, except for the "One+" label.

EDIT: Nevermind. One+ platform covers both Ni-Cad and Lithium.

Sorry guys…to first 2 pics were the older Ryobi pack. Wasn’t 18650s so I out it back together and put it in the drill, removing the Li-ion18v. The rest of the pics are the lithium battery. :slight_smile:

I finished testing one of the 12v packs from Riggid—It’s kind of what I expected—they seem to match mah and resistance per 12v bank—
One bank 2038/2080/2088mah the other bank 2007/2099/2099 and the resistance ranges from 38-44 with the total of each bank being fairly close—Not sure how accurate the Opus 3400 resistance test is—it gives different readings if it’s cold/if the battery is hot/if you hold your hand from the left instead of the right—but overall better batteries do show less resistance—these 20R are right there with VTC5 I have

The web site for my store still says 7.97 and so do other stores, but this display promotes the price of 2.97. There is NO mention of a subsidy, so I assume it is a straight up sale price.
Unlike the original Cree bulbs, this one has a flow-through design that will help cooling when this bulb is hanging perfectly upright or hanging upside down in an open to the air fixture. I don’t see any advantage in a closed fixture though. I actually think this design is a disadvantage as there is much less heat sinking.

Here is a tear down video I found on YouTube of this bulb.

That price is ridiculous! At that price I'd probably buy the entire display! There is absolutely NO WAY my store has them at this price! (Perhaps by saying this I'll actually find them . . . doubt it though.)

I've actually just recently purchased my first LED home lights from Lowes. In fact I went back for more yesterday, they rang up $1 higher than sticker on the shelf, so they had to refund me (honored the sticker price though it was wrong).

These are designed to lower cost, and includes a lesser warranty, but at that price even 1/4 of their rated life is more then worth it.
