Thanks for the kind words, but it seems I jumped the gun on the string trimmer deal. $139 marked down to $58 was not as good of a deal as I thought. Now they are $38! (IF you can find one)
I bought another.
I checked as soon as you posted that weed whacker deal the first time, but my closest store didn't have them marked down at all. I should try stop in on the way home tonight to be sure.
There has been a massive security breach at HD, the same one that Target suffered, only it seems it took much longer for HD to notice. In fact it wasn’t until banking officials and law enforcement clued them in did they have any idea.
I picked up some of these lights at HD today. If your store is not out of stock, they should be on clearance. The price in your local store will vary
item #1000-017-144
This light runs on 3 x AA and has 33 LED’s in the worklight for 200 Lumen. Don’t be fooled, 200 lumen is enough for most purposes. There is also an 80 lumen flashlight that is just OK. There is a push button on-off for the flashlight and the worklight turns on when the popup head is pulled out. A steal at $2.53
The flashlight LED is badly off center on this one!
Some other stuff on clearance
a set of 2! digital wall timers, 1500W
item #1000-014-291
3 pair womens work gloves, I got a set for my wife and other sets for Christmas gifts
$2.52 for 3 pair is 84 cents a pair! These gloves are soft and fit tight, sort of like driving gloves. I have been using the mens sizes for a couple of years now and like them a lot.
item #1000-033-947
2.1A! USB wall charger and a 2.1A USB car charger. The package does not state it but they are Apple compatible and I now am able to charge my iPad in the car!

Awesome finds. I'm hitting HD tomorrow for sure. Thank you dchomak :)
EDIT: I hit HD this morning. Was able to find their last Defiant Work Light. It was marked $9.30. I took it to the register and asked them to check the price. They said it's $9.30 and pointed to the sticker. Remembering you talking about how the clearance prices are often not posted in a thread you posted (I checked your threads and couldn't find it to link here), I asked them to humor me and scan it. It rang up $2.53. Sweet. Thank you for helping us bargain-findingly challenged get a good deal dcho man.
Oh, also got one of these for 1 cent. It was in a clearance rack all by itself. I would have cleaned them out if they had any more.
I was in another HD this morning and found 5 more of the work lights
In both stores they are NOT with the flashlights, they are in The electrical department.
IAM4, I am jealous over that Swiss Tech for 1 cent! Last week when I got the tool those were already sold out.
Garry, my store has several cases of the digital timers behind the display. These too are in electrical.
BTW, in the DST thread there is a link “inventory checker” to check local stores for availability of stock.
At lunch I hit a different HD. They had none of those lights, but they did have some of the glove sets for women and a different Swiss Tech Multitool. It had the price of $9.06 marked on it, but rang up for a penny. Again in a clearance rack.
This store had the digital timers in the tool isle. The other HD had them in the lighting area.
EDIT: For some reason, the inventory tracker isn't working for me.
Yes they do, as a matter of fact when I use the Home Depot APP to scan for price, if it doesn’t scan that is a clue that it may be on clearance at a VERY low price. I then walk it up to a self checkout and do a “price check”
It’s not working for me either. That was a good tool. Maybe this is just temporary. I think I remember another checker that we came across, but it was not quite as good.
I think one of my cards must have been involved in this latest breach. I got a letter from my bank reading, “Your debit card MAY have been recently compromised by a 3rd Party Vendor”. So they sent me a new one. As you know its a PITA to get all the bills set back up. So…I am guessing it was from shopping at HD? I don’t use it for many other things.
Still headed there tomorrow to see if they have that Swiss Key thing still at one of my local ones. I shall pay cash this time. lol
