Lowes Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I don’t know if this would be of any interest or if they are even available in other stores, but on Black Friday one of Lowes deals was 24V Kobalt drill packs for $10.00
I was in my store the other day and this deal is still on!


I bought one just out of curiosity. It contains 6 LG 1.5Ah cells.

I have 2 pair of those, the regular handle the picture shows and the normal strippers and a pair of the shears for cutting screws. They are great strippers. Very light and compact.

The website for my local Lowes still shows regular price...

LOL! Good one!

Hey Garry,
Did you know that all future associates have to go to a company owned school for training?
It’s called “Lowe Tech”

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Oh gosh. Just when I thought it couldn't can get any lower, we reach a new lowes.

Sorry, that's the best I got.

So there’s a new Lowes in town? :slight_smile:

BTW, this screws me up ALL the time.
I’ll go shopping at Home Depot and Lowes and back home when I clean out the car this is what messes me up.

THAT is a Home Depot bag!!!

Lowes Utilitech LED bulbs on clearance (guessing a new style / revamped packaging is coming out). I personally like these bulbs. I like the 3000k tint.

Not bad, I have those bulbs throughout my home, and so far, no failures.

Off topic a bit, but Wal Mart stores in my area have been clearancing out last season’s LED bulbs for good prices as well. I was able to get a good buy on some of the 100W equivalent bulbs, with the old style heavy fluted heatsink bases ($5/pr) to, and several 75W equivalent GE PAR 30 like pictured below for $5 each. I’m both cases, I checked the new stock and the same style bulbs were available for 3-5x the clearance cost.

Recently SEARS sold the Craftsman name to Stanley Black & Decker
Yesterday it was announced that starting in 2018 Lowes will be selling Craftsman tools.

Interesting, I wonder if they will still be made in China… The older stuff that is made in the USA are better quality. I dred breaking any of my Craftsman stuff because I know they will replace with the new stuff.

I saw this deal on LED 4’ replacement tubes for florescent light fixtures.These pics come from 2 different Lowes stores. I checked a few other stores around the country online and this deal seems to be everywhere.
This is by far the cheapest I have ever seen 4’ LED replacement tubes!
I picked up a 4 pack for $12.49 to play around with. Our kitchen ceiling fixture takes 3 tubes, leaving me one to mess with. I’ll post those pics later.
4 tubes for $12.49 is only a little over $3 each!

2 packs for $7.49 (5000K DayLight)

or 4 packs for $12.49 (5000K DayLight)

On the left are 4 packs of 4000K bulbs marked down to $21.23

Do these tubes work WITHOUT the ballast? For that price,I’m betting NOT.

They do not, they work only with an electronic ballast. Not the magnetic ones.
Actually for most I would think that would be preferable. Simple replacement.
As I said, I’ll know more after I fool around with one

I just do not like anything Utilitech.
They work right out of the box but seen to die at a rapid rate.

I was a Electrical Contractor most of my life and did see how bad this brand was/is.

Buy what ever you want but I will not be buying these.

My point is with ballast it is very inefficient When I go led, I do not want a ballast. So I would go with other type tubes. There is a thread already about those tube types.

Thread link?

Thanks,

Start here. There is another good thread will link it later…

hmmmm...... searched and cant find other thread i'm looking for. Hyperikon branded led tubes is what i remember was the discussion...I think...I know the brand began with the letter H. Anybody else find it post link here please

They are also unloading cases of 16 bulbs for $39.99
4000K and 5000K and 6500K

A friend is trying out a case for his restaurant. If they’re OK he will get 4 more.
