Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Damn, you've been on a terror as of late. I've been hitting my closest HD playing weed wacker-a-mole with no success.

I have some items in my sights that should hit a penny soon, but I bet they will disappear just before they should hit a penny. I did find one of those 12v Rigid Li-ion packs you alerted us to (An awesome find). Someone must have hid it and then forgot about. It, unfortunately, rang up for $42.

Tomorrow is Saturday. You should hit the nearest store in morning. There are at least 3 string trimmers on clearance now, the 40V Ryobi, 20V Black and Decker and the big 56V EGO

EDIT:
The 15” EGO string trimmer is on clearance, NOT the 12”

That’s why we love you, big guy!

Can I PM you my ship-to address?? :slight_smile:

Sure, but the shipping is going to be a killer

Arrgghh all the kids home from college and me with no car, I hope to report back later today some success.

I never knew about the penny items either

Dchomak I’m just glad you dont live near me I wouldn’t have a chance.

Interesting… I wonder what Dave is up to :stuck_out_tongue: :bigsmile:

I would recommend using plastic NM staples . I don’t like metal staples; they hurt the wire more, you have to worry about how far you’re hammering it, and they are hard to remove.

Staples are used to hold the wire in place, you do not need to pound them in like a nail………the top of the staple does not even have to be in contact with the wire.

Both kinds of staples are available and both kinds are used.
The most important thing is that I went back in and got those other 3 light controllers. :wink:

Congrats.

My closest HD is 42 miles away on weekends. Just not worth the hike.

Well, according to The Hitch hike r’s Guide to the Galaxy , 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. The Universe is calling, What more do you need?
Get your butt over to HD!

BTW, that 40V Ryobi pack contains 10 pairs of 18650 cells in series. When fully charged, 10 * 4.2V = 42 Volts. :wink:

do not forget the towel!

Man, I live within 5 minutes of two HD’s and their clearance sections are nothing what people post here are like.

The newer Electrical codes require insulated staples only- can’t legally use the others but I still do with minor un-inspected work on old houses where they are already everywhere else. I think they change codes just to have something to do sometimes.

And thanks for the fish.

Usually no but sometimes you need the staple to hold the wire like when it enters a box that doesn’t have its own clamps.
I think the metal staples are harsher on the wire and are more likely to damage it when the wire is pulled through.

Nah, you do stuff like that all the time; the thing I am interested in is what you’re up to. :stuck_out_tongue:

I am hooking up some LED shop lights that I got at COSTCO.

I had to travel just over the CT-MA State line to get this price.

Oh wow! Wish I could get those fixtures at that price. Too bad Costco screwed me over years ago and I refuse to do business with them! Though if someone else bought them for me I'd be okay with that :) .

Interesting; I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Costco. I wonder what they sell and if they have good deals sometimes.

Screwed you over? :open_mouth: In what way?

If you want me to spend for a membership then you won’t see me there. I’ve done the math and places like Costco are not cheaper for buyers like me over a year’s time. And then they bill you for the next piece of cardboard.

They wouldn't honor their warranty on tires because I was not a member. Tires were purchased on my parents membership and I even had the original receipt. Total BS. And the stupid thing was that the service guy told me I could grab anyone around to show him their membership card to get access to my warrany coverage. I told him I'd never be back at a Costco.
