I’m headed to Lowes right after work. Looks like I need to checkout the tools aisle(s)! Good thing Home Depot is right next door too!

And until it goes to a penny and gets bought by one of us… or sent to the trash, that’s as low as they’re gonna get. Good price, but I’d buy a few of them if they were $2 cheaper.
Don’t trust the prices you see. Clamp Meter “$32.06”
But it scans for $11.03. I passed on this, already have some like this. Quality is not that good.
This is a good candidate for an item to go to a penny and not get pulled. These are hanging on a post away from the electrical department. When it was reduced to the “3” price they were overlooked. If it happens again, they will be available for a penny.
In 2 or 3 weeks.
It’s also AC current only, so not too useful for flashlight / battery testing. Still at $11 it might be useful for homeowners wanting to check for overloaded circuits. If I find any for a penny, I might take a few for use as a cheap DVM. Can’t be any worse than the free HF DVMs.
well, went back to check about 2 boxes of armormax 3Ds i had seen when they were still at the 3 price. they were on an overhead shelf, and i thought maybe i will spiderman my way up. come to see they have been moved to over the overhead shelf with the netted enclosure… can’t spiderman my way into that… think i could risk asking an employee to get me a few of those?
i found and bought some of those maglite 2D xenon bulb replacements for a penny no use for them, but hey they cost me a penny each - again thanks to dchomak for alerting; they were actually marked at 1.03 - who would buy them for that price?
Saw the power inverters too, but I already have the HDX 100watt w/USB one from a few years ago.
No “good” deals found. The Milwaukee tools were all regular price (swear I saw yellow stickers on Saturday). The Husky LED Work Light didn’t exist at my store.
I stopped on my way INTO work today and snagged 3 more of the 800 lumen Husky work lights (all they had) for the same $8.83 price. I’ll probably post some pics and ask for some help modding it in a new thread this weekend.
Quick into from some testing last night:
AC-DC convertor in the back, outputing 27.8 volts.
“Bridgelux” LED on a star mounted behind a stout glass lens
Between lens and star is a virtually flat “reflector” that can’t possibly be doing anything except hiding wires.
I wonder if it would be effective to mount two or more of those lights onto a stand or fixture, then wire them in parallel… switch option to run 2 or 4 lights simultaneously.
