Verman posted:Zero chance it ships but holy poo poo I'm in. So, there was price mistake recently from lowes with those AeroGardens and I only saw one person pick one up (not a goon), rest cancelled. However, not to get your hopes up too much... last Home Depot price mistake I remember was from April of last year: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=2914751&pagenumber=1331&perpage=40&highlight=gladiator#post513833179 It was Gladiator Cabinets for ~$40. Many got cancelled. I got one, they got four, and some others I know got them. They had over 3000 of these Dewalt units ready to ship out I guess... Hopefully it's a sleepy Monday and orders get sent out before they read the email from management

It's like a train starts going and Home Depot can't stop it. I wouldn't be surprised if they do an audit later and re-charge people with cancelled orders, received them, and who had charges drop off (since theoretically they delivered the product that was originally agreed upon), but even still the fact people are still getting their price mistake deliveries is great. Now if only OnTrac would finally deliver mine today.  Edit: DeWalt tools finally delivered. Too late in day for a picture

Verman posted:Assuming my stuff actually gets here, at this point I assume it will, this is the single biggest "deal" I've ever found in my 20+ years on the Internet. I remember the days of the SA Freebies and deals thread. I got free nalgene bottles, magazine subscriptions, gift cards etc but never anything worth real money. My best was the Sony Camera price mistake from some previous Prime Day. I ended up getting the bad draw and I didn't get a tv from the Samsung TV price mistake (also from Amazon), which may have been my largest if I got it. They're few and far between... though late Sunday into Monday seems to breed the most successful price mistakes on account of shipping going out that day but people mostly being asleep at the wheel on Sundays.

So afaik they're just shipping DTO tools out the back door. If they have a similar facility in Canada I don't see why they couldn't do it there. They probably don't sell/ship to Canada from the regular DTO website because they didn't want to deal with cross-border shenanigans. A lot of DTO decisions are generally just whatever is easy for them; they don't modify any orders for anyone, and might not respond for a couple days.

Ended up buying a bunch of Ryobi this sale: 40v Pole Hedge Trimmer w/ 2AH battery https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/RY40630VNM Dual Inflator https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/P747 2x 7.5" Fans w/ 2AH battery https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/PCL811KN 3/8" Crown Stapler https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/P317 Needed something for a couple hedges we have and that should let me get a good angle on the top. Dual Inflator is the thing people kept talking about and I want something to top off the tires without crouching down. The Fans... I have one already and they saved the chickens during a heatwave. I want spares just in case (for the California central valley heatwaves and possible rolling blackouts)... The stapler... I have to put up a new fence for the chicken coop and I read this works fine generally for stapling hardware cloth or similar light fencing. I didn't want to spend the $90 on the larger 18GA stapler since I'm buying enough as-is, though I'm sorely tempted. Ordered a fan for dad and then ordered him a Glue Gun Kit since he saw my glue gun I got for $9 from the last sale and was like "Hey, can I have this? I'll buy it off you" and I was like "Hell no. That's mine". So the kit that has the battery at $24 since he isn't in the Ryobi ecosystem yet isn't bad. Slugworth posted:Very sad they won't ship the 18v Ryobi finish nailer, not gonna drive 80 miles to pick it up in the store. Grabbed an inflator though, thanks for the heads up, op! You can still get the 15GA Angled Finish Nailer shipped for $120, though of course that's not as good of a price as the $90 for the regular one https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/P330 BeAuMaN fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Jan 28, 2023 |

Not shipped yet. The only consistent pattern is that single-item stuff shipped first, while they're dragging their rear end to do multi-item orders. Those single items ordered on the 27th shipped first, while the single item ordered on the 29th shipped later. (The last one single item is the $30 spotlight. Yeah, I can get a better light like a sofirn, but this one I can plug in a ryobi battery which means I will almost always have one around and it'll be charged) BeAuMaN fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Feb 2, 2023 |

Henrik Zetterberg posted:I did have the hose on my 4-gal backpack sprayer get a leak in it and I ended up with a bunch of Roundup down my back. Even though the tool carries a 3y warranty, the hose is considered consumable and only has a 90-day warranty, annoyingly enough. $22 + $12 shipping for a replacement hose  I don't know how far you're out on ownership of it... but if you bought it with a decent credit card, it may be one of those things where you can make a warranty claim (or a "return" claim; like I have a pricey Chase Sapphire Reserve card that does 120 day return protection). A lot of them (a lot less now though) double the warranty up to an additional year (usually with a cap of like "Well if it's more than 2 years though we don't do anything"), and when it's a two-part warranty, they double each part respectively. So 90 days becomes 180 days. But whether you want to file a claim over $34 (I wouldn't tell them you bought it already)  You'd probably have to dig into your card's guide to benefits (example). The Costco Credit Card was great for extended warranties particularly for Costco stuff, but they axed that program at the beginning of this year iirc.

I know the Ryobi 40V pressure washers will also draw/siphon from a bucket of water, but that also gets spendy ($600+). Generally speaking I've heard with most corded electric pressure washers if you're drawing from a non-pressurized source of water (like a bucket or lake), then you need a transfer pump. However, I guess some units are designed with that in mind, but not most?

Armauk posted:drat! Never heard of SlickDeals until now and some of those finds are nice. Is this a site I need to keep a tab open for, or am I good to check in on it once a day? If you're looking for Ryobi/Ridgid deals specifically, then subscribe to DTO's newsletter/email blast/whatever at the bottom: https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/ DTO runs a lot of sales, and how good they are varies. Buy factory blemished since they're really new in box but Ryobi/Ridgid are getting around their Home Depot exclusive contract by saying they're blemished. All of the "blemished" tools come with full warranty (3 to 5 years for Ryobi; Lifetime Service Agreement for Ridgid if you register within 60 days or whatever). Sales will last for whatever amount of days it says in the details and then end at midnight ET on whatever day, so you can always get a jump on the next sale at that time. You can also register on Slickdeals, then up top there's a maroon Deal Alerts button:  You can set deal alerts; they might take some practice to dial in, and I can't guarantee they'll always be timely, but you can get notifications for stuff you want. I say dial in because you'll have to sort through trash deal notifications. Also because it's functioning off of keyword/context stuff on deals posted on basically a really old forum from like 20 years ago. Like Slickdeals has a shiny top coat that looks new but the old forum is still there, and everything is still a forum post. I wouldn't set hugely specific categories; just only use categories if you're getting trash from other stuff that isn't what you're looking for but happens to share the same name. Finally, if you use Amazon you should get something like camelcamelcamel (setup an account and install extension). https://camelcamelcamel.com/ That lets you setup Amazon price alerts; I do this on stuff that I want but I don't like the price, and it also let's you see price history charts. Extension lets you do a convenient pulldown like this:  Item displayed: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFZY2F2 Most power tool deals are going to be found on DTO, Home Depot, or Lowes though. Ryobi will be DTO or during the annual Ryobi Days sale. Home Depot or Lowes will run whatever free tool deal that might line up with what you want or need for Makita/Milwaukee/etc. Amazon has a decent deal on power tools now and again; usually the more expensive ones (MIlwaukee/Makita). Slickdeals will also highlight some decent power tool deals from the like of ACME Tools, Max Tool, Tool Nut and a few others. Finally there's the "hack" at Home Depot, which depends on how much you hate the people working there. If you get a "free tool" power tool bundle, Home Depot will distribute the total price for the bundled items between them. i.e. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...-21XC/205145430  The price is $179.99 and it distributes the amount between the primary item in the bundle and the "free" tool. You can then keep the one you want and return the other, and now you got a discounted tool. This becomes more swingy when you have multiple tools to choose from in the "free" column. If you want the "free" tool for free you go with the cheaper item and more of the price will be allocated towards the main item; if you want the main item in the bundle for cheaper then you pick the most expensive "free" item and more of the price will be allocated to that item. This creates extra work for people working there though so don't surprised if you get the stink eye if you do this often. This used to be a lot more prevalent when back when you could ship each part of the bundle to different stores, so people would ship the item they didn't want to another store, and it would sit there for pickup before eventually being cancelled, while they went to pick up the item they wanted at the store of their choice. Took Home Depot like 5 years to shut that down, since they got tired of their pickup lockers being filled with tools destined to be returned .There's a similar "hack" at Lowe's iirc, though I hear it's even more dumb. But Lowe's runs less of those kinds of deals. BeAuMaN fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Mar 7, 2023 |

Bob Mundon posted:RE Slickdeals, it's kind of a mandatory deals site to pay attention too. There's lots of non deals listed and most can be ignored, but basically any real deal is going to make it on there. It's a site that is extremely powerful but I feel it's a bit harder for casual users to get the most out of it. Other things that are useful: 1.) A lot of the user comments on products can give you a sense of both the product and deal history. 2.) Searching old threads for a product can give you a sense of how often an item goes on sale (where price history isn't available, since there aren't price charts for every store)

Verman posted:$99 7 pc dewalt kit from home depot was posted by someone on here I believe. Though I do think it was late at night. I instantly bought 3 assuming they were going to get cancelled it and they arrived a few days later. I don't think I'll ever get another deal like that again. I'll never forget the feeling when my wife texted me a photo that just said "three big boxes just showed up to the house". I literally giggled. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-...1D2M1/312585400I re-posted that from Slickdeals onto SA. That was price mistake of the decade sort of thing. So many things went wrong for Home Depot and right for most people that ordered. Home Depot was cancelling orders and still shipping them out, so I never followed up on if that meant some people actually got their tool sets for free. And it came with the nice rolling tool box too! My guess is that Home Depot doesn't have fine control over their shipping operations at their warehouse (since the store ones were cancelled mostly) and so once it was the order was in the system and already setup to ship... there was no stopping it unless they stopped all shipping operations. It was also Sunday night into Monday morning, like most great price mistakes, so the order was queued up and ready to go. I only got one but I'm happy with it. Doesn't quite beat out the Prime Day camera price mistake but it's probably second to that for me (or third)!

https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/search?query= DTO is having a 40% off factory blemished sale on most things for Cinco de Mayo and 50% off reconditioned stuff. As usual: 1.) You want to buy Factory Blemished if you want that warranty, either for Ryobi's 3 year 18V/5 year 40V or Ridgid's Lifetime Service Agreement warranty. 2.) Shipping is flat rate $15 per order 3.) "40% off" is kind of nebulous in that it's 40% off whatever the price was before the sale. Some things are marked down real low then, while other things are merely 40% off MSRP. This means there may be a good price on something you want to be had, but also know how much your item you want goes for (or whatever you think is a good price). 4.) You're generally lucky if you have a physical DTO store in your area. I really want a DTO price tracker like camelcamelcamel does for Amazon for reason 3. There's a slickdeals thread on the sale so people there might have more to say on what a good deal is: https://slickdeals.net/f/16630322-c...ct-tools-outlet BeAuMaN fucked around with this message at 06:28 on May 6, 2023 |

HART is the other Walmart brand and they're known for being pretty decent as far as power tools go. I think you're better off buying Ryobi during Ryobi Days/DTO sales, but it's not a bad choice either if the price is cheap and you don't have time to wait around. But then again HART stuff will sometimes clearance at bonkers prices. Hyper Tough hand tools though? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh....

So a fellow goon on a goon discord pointed this out to me (Not sure what their SA name is): https://jehoshaphatresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/NEW-ON-TECHTRONIC-Fraud-Against-Home-Depot-June-2023.pdf The TL;DR is Ridgid Tools, at least as far as "Factory Blemished" goes, is going away on Direct Tools Outlet for the foreseeable future. Currently there are no "Factory Blemished" tools listed. This is likely in response to the report linked above. More or a less short seller firm, Jehoshaphat Research, previously did research and made allegations on TTI's (the owner of Ryobi and Ridgid brands, as well as Milwaukee) accounting practices (stories here and here). They then followed up on doing a report on DTO selling new tools as Blemished, and how this was "defrauding" Home Depot. https://twitter.com/jehoshaphatrsch/status/1665893867109883905?s=46 The inventory database on DTO was more or less open for queries (see page 34 of the report) so the short firm was able to calculate how much total stock they were selling of Ridgid products as factory blemished. Since the report was released, DTO has pulled all Ridgid factory blemished products. Jehoshaphat Research is trying to increase the short on TTI stocks and make their name on what they deem "Blemishgate" (because everything needs to be named after Watergate) It was good while it lasted. No idea what this means for Ryobi factory blemished, other than that may follow suit eventually too. BeAuMaN fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Jun 24, 2023 |
