Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Exactly… on a more serious note to that, some you’d keep for yourself, some you’d sell as-is, or mod and sell, some you’d gift away. But overall, I think if I had scored 2 or 3 or 4 dozen of anything on here, if anywhere, I’d try to sell them here to fellow BLF’ers first. Those 2D maglites being had for a penny, could you imagine if you sold an extra dozen for $10-15 each? Easy money… and not necessarily totally selfish either.

If I get any deals like that, that’s what I am going to do.

Dchomak did just that with some Xenon Maglites recently. I think more of us should follow suit.

this is one of the few items i agree should be on clearance.

I’ve installed a couple of those coach lights or customers and I fully agree. They’re thin gauge and the thin brass plating will begin to show rust in just a few months. Good for a house your selling at this price, though the “03” price will be more toward what they’re actually worth.

We have some of them too… They are what you would call “builder grade”. :smiley:

Yes I am still traveling. I have lots of the the Xenon, 2D LED and Mag mini combos that I can make available at my cost.
I have seen many strange and wonderful things during my travels. When I get home I will post the pics. Until then, there’s this.

^ I’ve been waiting for months for that to happen! Do you know what day the price switched? I should check my local HD today! Glad I brought portable lunch to eat in the car…

I’ll buy both of the remaining two they had/have if they are still there and that price. Although I could see employees snatching them up at that price.

Home depot has a special buy on 850 lumen defiant triple flashlights. $9.99

I’ll post pics tonight. Looks very mod friendly

These would go in an instant.
This store had 2 at an even lower price

That light for the price is very nice as it is!

Quite the deal on that Leatherman. After reading this post (the next day I think), I went to 2 different HD’s. The system showed they each had 2 in stock, but at $29.xx. I couldn’t find them. Probably were hidden for the price drop to come here.

Thanks for the alert. I went and got me one. This must be that light that dchomak reported had different emitters within each light. I really like the overall size of the light. Makes it not having a side switch not so bad.

Yes mine looks like 2x xpg and 1x XML. Makes a weird beam pattern, but great mod potential. Lots of room for heat sinking without that side switch

I’ve been scoping out the leatherman tools a all of my stores for the past month+. Only one had two left, checked on them Tues. Today I go to see if they’re at the 3 price and they’re gone. Likely snagged by employees.

I just can’t catch a break!

I got one 850 lumen defiant triple at the 9.99 price. Not able to teardown though… how would one get to the led?

I checked 5 of the 10 Home Depot stores in my area and none had any. The closest store had 2 at the $21.06 on Monday but on Tuesday they were gone and the price was still the same but may have change. I had an associate check the stock in all the stores and none showed as having any. I still checked a few more stores and there were none. On Monday a store close to my job had 6 $14 Defiant headlamps at the $3.83 price. I secreted one to check later. On Tuesday the 5 were all gone so I hoped they had gone to a penny. I checked my hidden one and it was still $3.83. Stashed it back, but I haven’t had a chance to check. I’ll see if it’s still there on Monday and if the price has gone to a penny. I’m determined to get something for one cent! You just have to constantly check enough stores to have a chance at hitting the correct timing.

Honestly, I’m good with just getting stuff at a “3” price. I figure hat after I calculate my fuel costs and such for driving around to all the stores, I’m not really saving much. Depends what the product is.

Across the board, anything I can get for 50% off that’s under $20 is a good deal. If those items cost me less than $10 I got a super deal. Of course higher regular price items I’d be willing to pay more for…. If a $130 tool or some widget is down to 30-35 bucks, that too is a good deal.

I’m also to the point where I can’t hoard stuff that was only a good deal. I need to have a use for it, even if it’s juts to gift it.

so i did see a few more of the defiant armormax 590 lumens at 7.53 at some locations, but didn’t buy them. i already bought one before. let’s see if they last to the penny price :slight_smile:

I went to HD yesterday and found virtually nothing at a good discount. But while looking at the flashlights a guy was showing his buddy his favorite light. I think it was a Coast zoomie for about $35.

“350 lumens! Check this out!” and he shined the light at the back of the shelf. I pulled out my Astrolux S1 and shined it on high next to his. He picked his jaw up off the floor and asked me the name and where to buy it. Another convert?

Probably. Lol. Even an old XML T6 at 2.1-2.8A will blow a 350lm light away. Coast isn’t a bad light, and while 350lm is enough for most ppl, for those of us used to 800-1200lm lights, it’s not super.
