    Ridgid and Southwire Extension Cords

    I’ve purchased several of the two packs at Costco. It’s two 50’, 12/3, made in USA cords for $50. I think they used to be cheaper, or maybe I bought them on sale. I haven’t had any problems with them over the past 5 years. I’m not real picky about extension cords though...

    Worst tool/bit/socket storage trays ever...

    So, that is the older style of bit holder for the toughcases, and they are awful. However, don’t chuck the yellow box. You can add 3d printed bit holders that are much nicer. The dovetail cutouts around the edges allow for you to swap out whatever you want. The new toughcases have FAR...

    Home Depot Black Friday Ad 2019

    This is dependent upon your home depot I think. I've seen several sale prices posted in pictures from other Home Depots, while my closest HD still has the higher pricing waiting for BF.

    Advance Auto Coupon codes

    This is not a code, but might be helpful. With AAP, I've found that if I'm logged into AAP in my browser, and I look at a product but don't add to cart or purchase it, I will later get an email (within 24 hours) offering me 20-25% off on that product. It has worked for the last 3-4 things I've...
