Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

HA! I picked up one of those today for $8.83! The date on the markdown was February, so I was hoping for a penny deal, but no such luck.

Has anyone modded one of these? I’d love to power it up with my Makita 18V cordless tool battery pack.

Whoa! Lookout! dch has some competition!

I’d love something like that! Surprised they aren’t made and sold like that.

Don’t trust the prices you see. Clamp Meter “$32.06”

But it scans for $11.03. I passed on this, already have some like this. Quality is not that good.

This is a good candidate for an item to go to a penny and not get pulled. These are hanging on a post away from the electrical department. When it was reduced to the “3” price they were overlooked. If it happens again, they will be available for a penny.
In 2 or 3 weeks.

Finally! I found a yellow LED bug light.

It’s also AC current only, so not too useful for flashlight / battery testing. Still at $11 it might be useful for homeowners wanting to check for overloaded circuits. If I find any for a penny, I might take a few for use as a cheap DVM. Can’t be any worse than the free HF DVMs.

Anyone seen a good price for a pressure washer? Thanks!

well, went back to check about 2 boxes of armormax 3Ds i had seen when they were still at the 3 price. they were on an overhead shelf, and i thought maybe i will spiderman my way up. come to see they have been moved to over the overhead shelf with the netted enclosure… can’t spiderman my way into that… think i could risk asking an employee to get me a few of those?

i found and bought some of those maglite 2D xenon bulb replacements for a penny :slight_smile: no use for them, but hey they cost me a penny each - again thanks to dchomak for alerting; they were actually marked at 1.03 - who would buy them for that price?

If they go for a penny i will personally drive down to the US and buy them!

...in your brand new car?

It is raccoon sized :smiley:

They see me rollin'.

They hatin'.

Dang! You beat me to it! Saw this last night:

Also saw this one:

Saw the power inverters too, but I already have the HDX 100watt w/USB one from a few years ago.

No “good” deals found. The Milwaukee tools were all regular price (swear I saw yellow stickers on Saturday). The Husky LED Work Light didn’t exist at my store.

The husky worklight at my store is still full price.

Some stuff at some stores just don’t go on clearance.

There were other Husky LED work lights, but not this 800 Lumen model posted above.

I stopped on my way INTO work today and snagged 3 more of the 800 lumen Husky work lights (all they had) for the same $8.83 price. I’ll probably post some pics and ask for some help modding it in a new thread this weekend.

Quick into from some testing last night:
AC-DC convertor in the back, outputing 27.8 volts.
“Bridgelux” LED on a star mounted behind a stout glass lens
Between lens and star is a virtually flat “reflector” that can’t possibly be doing anything except hiding wires.

I wonder if it would be effective to mount two or more of those lights onto a stand or fixture, then wire them in parallel… switch option to run 2 or 4 lights simultaneously.

Easy to do, if you are comfortable doing AC wiring. I have enough plug in trouble lights, I really want to get these molded into battery power models - ideally using my Cordless tool packs but I might even use some of my laptop pulls with a cheap charging board from mtnelectronics.com screwed into the back area. I left the last set mostly intact, so I have 4 pairs welded together.

These lights finally went to the 3 price. $2.53 Rechargeable Flashlight that plugs into the wall and turns on with a power outage;

Got another of the Husky twin packs. The 3C model is an XP-L and 500 Lumen. the 3 - AAA model is 165 lumen.
This time for a penny :slight_smile:
I didn’t notice until I got outside, where did the batteries go?

Just a few miles away from the store that had these for a penny, they were marked down from 11.97 to 6.98. I did scan the price


This store had that same 100W power inverter and 2A USB charging station priced at $27.06. Scanned for $8.83

One of the power invertors on a welcome mat on clearance. I bought 4 of the mats.

Got 2 of these for $4.83. Last 2 in my area. It’s actually fairly decent. It can use 3xAA or 3xD batteries. It has a plastic insert that holds the AA batteries in place.

Of course i’m going to have to try a Li-Ion with 2 dummies to see how that works out!
