    2020 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    Ordered up a router as well, store almost an hour away had one, already got pickup confirmation. I'm going to see if they will release it to one of my drivers, I load LTL freight every day to this store on one of my routes so fingers crossed. If not I will go get it one day next week.

    wifi light switch but for OUTDOOR use?

    I've been using this one for over a year now with some LED string lights on my back deck. No issues whatsoever and I have a schedule set up with Alexa where the lights turn on every day at 6:30pm and off at 11. It is under the framing of a fence but it is exposed to the elements and has held...

    Ridgid Lifetime Warranty vs LFA

    From their FAQ, I had the page open already checking the status of a recent purchase. WHAT IS COVERED? LSA covers all defects and many wear parts in properly maintained tools. The Lifetime Service Agreement covers all worn parts in properly maintained tools. This includes normal wear items such...

    Having trouble drilling all the way through top plate

    Finally got through, took every bit of the 7.5" Irwin auger bit with my corded 1/2" drill chugging at a low speed and every bit of weight I could muster into it. My 12v was getting through the top 4" easy but whatever board was on the very bottom just laughed at it. Sent from my SM-G975U...

    Having trouble drilling all the way through top plate

    It was a brand new auger bit, went and got it when I realized I needed the depth with real old actual dimensional lumber. Was trying out the spade bit since it was the longest wood bit I had. Will give it a try in the morning with my big drill and see if I can't get into a better position up...

    Having trouble drilling all the way through top plate

    I figured this would be the best place to ask. House built in 1930 and i'm running some 12-2 romex for a new dedicated circuit to my soon to be pantry. Anyways the problem i'm having is i'm not able to get all the way through the top plate from the attic on an exterior wall. I have tried...

    Difficult internet situation

    Loving my TP-Link CPE-210 setup as a repeater, was prepared to buy 2 and do the bridge but i'm getting good signal with just one blasting the signal in my detached garage.

    Sewing machine for work clothes

    I'd look around and see if you can find something older for cheap, way more metal parts and most are built like tanks. I took the best sewing machine my wife's grandmother had when she passed, no one else in the family was interested, IIRC it's a singer 416 from the early 70s. I later got a...

    WiFi/Internet to the Workshop - Success

    I just got one CPE210, which is the 2.4ghz version of that same device a few days ago. I'm still having setup issues, getting an internet connection. But I have tested it 2 ways, with it sitting at the back of the house in "Repeater" mode and sitting at the front of the garage (about where I...

    WiFi/Internet to the Workshop - Success

    Congrats on getting it working (and figured out on your own). I'm in the middle of fiddling with this myself though mines about 100' from the house. I've got a TP-Link CPE210 sitting in the back window of the house set up in repeater mode pointed straight at the garage. My phone and car...

    Good deals over at www.directtoolsoutlet.com/

    They are a TTI store front, owned and operated by. We've got a physical store in Greenville i've been into a few times and they might be opening one up outside the TTI distribution center/new headquarters in Anderson. Only thing i've bought is a recon Yamaha pressure washer, been working like...

    Peg board instead of rolling tool cabinet?

    I decided to go this route with my limited space too. I'm kinda going half mechanic half workbench/woodworking/garden on my garage. I definitely recommend the Wall Control panels and hooks too, I have one of the kits plus another ~ $40 in more hooks/holders. I plan to add another kit on the...

    What do you use to store your camping gear?

    Another vote for Action Packer's, they stack up nice if you don't have shelf space. Got a kitchen one for cleaner stuff and a tent supplies one for stuff that might get a bit dirtier

    2019 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    Thanks! got a tracking number this morning for it. None of the Kobalt stuff is on clearance around here. A couple of things are on sale for a few bucks off but nothing worthwhile. Only one store that I know have done a full craftsman shift.
