Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Dchomak, I registered just to tell you thank you. I’ve been browsing this forum for the past year…a lot more often after this post was created.

I now frequent about 8 local home depots…no penny deals yet. I just scored the Husky tool chest last night though!

You’re welcome!
And welcome to BLF.

Tomorrow I leave for North East Ohio and on Monday on to Columbus. I will probably pass right thru your stomping ground.
Guess there’s no use trying to find deals at your HD’s, right :wink:

I will be picking up 3 more of those tool chests along the way though, found online and already paid for.
Errr, you ARE going to use yours for storing flashlights, right?

Just kidding :laughing:

I was in Providence, RI today and saw this rolling work top cabinet on sale for $209.00. It is the same one that has been on sale for $298 since before Black Friday. So far this is the only store that I have seen them at this price. Other stores could follow. At 52 inches long, it is perfect for 2 of these 26 inch upper tool chests side by side.


At one time it was $329.00

I plan on putting 2 of those 9 drawer, 26 inch cabinets on the one I have. Here is mine with 2 - 26 inch 4 drawer toolchests that I got on BF. Those 2 tool chests are not as high, doesn’t have as many drawers nor are as deep as the $49.00 one. They are already full, the reason I need the bigger ones.

The Providence store had the 26 inch tool chest and it’s matching bottom on display. The top is $49 and the 7 drawer bottom is $149.00
The combination is in the foreground of this picture and stands about 5 feet tall.

I’ve given this some thought, my phone is 2100mAh (2000 used for calculation) @ 3.7V is 7.4Wh, @ 70% would give about 10.5Wh, so two full charges would eat 21Wh or about half the 43Wh of the booster. This is not exact, there would be some inefficiencies and i would charge the phone before its completely dead but i will from now on do two charges from the power pack instead of 1/2 that i was doing.
This should create a storage voltage of about 40-50%

It’s been slow around here, I went this am and didn’t find much worth reporting. Scanned a few BF items and they haven’t dropped (that dremel set 162 pc, is still 10$ and the diablo dozer hole saw set is still $30) I already bought 2 of the dremel sets for 10$ so I’ll wait for a while. The husky 1500,2000,3000 lumen led work lights will be at the 3 price soon, they’re the ones with the tripods.

No pics of anything sorry. I saw one of the milwaukee tool chests (top only) it will ring up 75$ but I have no need for it so I passed. DCH not sure if that top would fit on your bench but its worth a look.

I am on the road and can’t post pictures easily.
From traveling I can see that the 52” Husky Work center cart IS $209.00
But they are hard to find.
If anybody had noticed the speaker mounts at the “3” price of $3.83, they are now a penny
Also a friend from Missouri called me from his Home Depot store to tell that the CAT stuff there was at the “3” price. He scored 2 of the big CAT battery chargers at $38.03 and 1 of the 1000A car boosters for $38.03
He took it apart and found that it contains a 21Ah lead acid battery. Not Li—Ion

To anyone considering purchasing a Husky tool chest, seriously consider going down to your local Harbor Freight and look at their US General 44” chest.

“44” Chest”:http://www.harborfreight.com/44-in-13-drawer-glossy-red-industrial-roller-cabinet-68784.html

I labored over finding the best tool chest that would last me long enough to give to my children and this one fit the bill. It’s seriously heavy duty - weighs over 200lbs empty and has over a 2,000lb capacity.

It’s currently $349, so in a different price point, but if you go check it out, I think you’ll see what I mean….it’s in a different class compared to that Husky chest.

So about $279 after 20% off coupon :slight_smile: .

-Garry

Unfortunately - they 20% off coupons typically say they can’t be used on the chests.

I bought mine 3 years ago and I couldn’t use it then….I think they started cracking down about 5 yrs ago.

Honestly, I’d buy it if it was a $500 chest. I sound like some weird Harbor Freight fanboy, but this box is the bees knees and IMO, competes with boxes 3-4-5x it’s price.

Ahh shucks, the fine print. Oh well.

-Garry

No argument from me!

The U. S. General stuff from Harbor Freight is definitely better quality. Hard for some to believe, but true.

The $209 for the 52” Husky rolling work center makes it more compelling for me though.

BTW,
ALL tool chests, carts, cabinets, etc. should be the color Red and only Red
:slight_smile:

Fire engine red :slight_smile:

Or Bort Coca Cola Red

Now your talking, i wonder if i can get paint companies to rename a shade to this :innocent:

Make it less pink and more red. :slight_smile:

!!

Got these yesterday, needed some sand paper

I have been following those same 4 items, none yet.
I am still in Ohio, and am finding other penny deals.
Also some things I know are a penny by now back home are still at the 6 or 3 price here
Yesterday I found a store that had the B&D power boosters we just talked about at $17.43. A friend that was with me bought 4.

I know where one of the BD bolsters is at, it’s in an obscure place. I’m going to wait for it to hit a penny. What was the date on his that he bought.

09/20/16

Which by rights should have been old enough to have been a penny

Ahh yes, I forgot they started at a .97 price and it took forever for them to switch to a .06
