Yeah saw that about a week ago..Never seen one in any store around me though..They've been gone for awhile.

Ive seen one floating around in my local stores, it always seemed to be in a different spot each time I went to the store but now its gone. Of course it was always there when the price was sitting at 158 for what seemed like forever.

I got the Ridgid version of the compressor for 79, which felt like a better deal because I didnt need the nailguns anyway (and orange looks cooler than neon green)

I agree! I was able to score 7 of the Ridgid version at the $43 price. Kept 1 for myself and flipped the rest.

Nice! I got the kit at the 138 price but flipped the compressor already. Luckily they were nice enough to let me rebuy based on my receipt alone. If you haven't yet, you should give the silent husky a shot, I don't think I can ever go back to a regular pancake again! Well worth the current price of $99 IMO for the sake of your hearing alone!

Most of my most recent tools have been green so glad to keep it the same (with some splashes of yellow red and orange too). Waiting for some drops on the airstrikes too!

I would love to find one of those Milwaukee boxes for $8. I saw where one guy used it as a car care box.

I needed a new mower and have been watching this one for a while. It hasn't dropped but I went ahead and picked it up. Hoping it drops to at least .06 level so I can get a price match. Is it 90 days that I can get it matched?

I have one of the husky quiet compressors too... You're right it's hard to go back to a loud one. Been working in my attic with the compressor near our bedrooms and zero noise complaints!

I have ryobi batteries and was thinking about an airstrike but am interested to see Milwaukee's new nailers first

90 day return policy and since they dont actually have a price match policy they do a return and rebuy anytime you price match so technically you can price match up to 90 days but every store and every employee has a different time frame. I have heard 1 week, 2 weeks, and 30 days.

Bought that mower when it was on "clearance" last fall. I don't think the Honda stuff ever makes it to the schedule clearance. But I may be wrong.

Either way that's the best mower you could buy right now. It's a shame they don't make lawn boys that well anymore. Honda is the only one that really is good in my opinion. I guess the huskys are okay. The plastic deck is a nice feature, lifetime guarantee.

Ok fellas I am back in the game after being jailed in Home Depot's detention center.

Found a bunch of these tire pressure gauges for a penny. SKU: 398611
Yea I know they are mostly junk, but the thrill of the hunt makes up for it.

Note: there is an identical gauge with a different SKU. As you can see I accidentally scanned it a SCO. Went straight to customer service to return that thing.

Okay, so I have been lurking. I have a reasonable understanding now of how the pricing works and have had modest success grabbing pennies ( several newtones, and some compressors). For the first time today I was actually had my transaction stopped in a most dramatic fashion. This was partly my fault. I shouldn't have tried to get another nutone penny while I was buying a few normal items. I was caught completely off guard when they penny rang up and the SCO began shouting at me like a crazy person about not being able to sell the item. I attempted to continue the transaction the SCO snatched the item and began swatting at my terminal to cancel the sale while I was paying. The sco had little success but then began madly swatting at the main terminal wailing about not being able to sell it for a penny and something must be wrong. SCO managed to cancel my whole transaction, and called the head cashier over who offered to sell it at last clearance. I probably should have taken it but instead I made a quip about just buying one off ebay. I was rather pissy about some psycho going off on me while I was checking out. Any suggestions as to how to handle this now / in the future. The main idea being that I want to keep harvesting pennies as they show up but not draw undue attention to myself as clearly happened here. I will be avoiding times when this crazy person is at the sco that is certain. Any wisdom to be shared?

Did the exact same thing yesterday. The clip strip had 7 with a december clearance tag. Picked one to try and it was the 1 that had the 611 sku, so it was a penny. Went back to get the others $5.88. I had nutone with me so I didn't want to get the sco to remove the gauge and ask questions so got the penny nutone and then returned the tire gauge. Thats when I noticed the different sku's.

The gauge however is within its stated accuracy. I work in a pressure gauge manufacturing location so we have very precise test gauges. Hooked this up and ran it through a few pressures and it was usually spot on or off 1 psi.

Thanks for the picture of the box. My local store shows 2 in the PCA, but I've been unable to find them on the floor after a couple trips. Seeing that 2 come in a box, it looks like I'll need to start looking for that box up high.

Stopped at another store for those boxes. Said they had 2. Can't find them. A store about an hr from me has 31 so says the computer. They said they are dropping to a penny and if they do they can't sell them to me. Yea ok

These must be the ones I keep finding.
