Deals and steals

Bought this at the Bellingham HD last night. $150 off.

While I’m not a fan of battery powered equipment. I don’t have a huge lawn.

My gas powered trimmer and blower are starting to fail.

Got a spare 9ah battery off Amazon for $145

That dewalt trimmer with a 9ah battery changed my life. I can do my ~1.75 acres on 1 battery. I’ll never go back to a gas trimmer.
 
After the club yesterday I stopped by a friend's house and he was installing a ‘gun cleaning table’ next to his firearm safe. Good looking wood top table for the money, folds when not in use / space saver and supports 400# with gas piston brackets. I ordered one for myself in the garage and figured maybe someone else on NES may need.

Great deal! Thanks!

In looking at the Q&A section for this product, I had a good laugh reading this one:

100 AAA and 48 AA Amazon batteries for 24 bucks

The Amazon brand batteries aren't bad at all. Never had any leaks ever after almost a decade. Lowest ever price and usually around 40 bucks according to the price chart

[Amazon] Bundle Deal: 100-Pack Amazon Basics AAA Alkaline Batteries + 48-Pack AA Alkaline Batteries - $24.65 (was $46.50)

I've had good luck with them too overall. In the bulk packs, there are always a few duds though that drain quickly or only show half a charge when installed new. But I'll still buy them because I've still had better luck with them than duracell.
 
I am still working on my last 32 oz bottle but I had a Camel^3 price alert set to grab another when the price dropped, that happened today.

32 ounce spray bottle of M-Pro 7 gun cleaner $27.41
www.amazon.com/dp/B003LB9B2S/

For perspective an 8 ounce bottle at Amazon or Walmart normally sells for $17 and change.

I have a 32oz bottle of Hoppe's, when I open it, the entire room smells like Hoppe's within 3 seconds. How does this stuff smell?

Duracell leaked like hell for me several years ago. Not sure how they are now but I'm done with them!

looks like they have the gallon right now for $77...

It is pleasant enough, not over powering, not a solvent smell maybe even a bit like bananas. I am struggling to remember which means that it is not remarkable.

Perhaps others can opine.

Thanks, and ounce-per-ounce that is a better deal.

However, since I am not servicing an M2 or a MK19 ;) I am going to stick to the quart size spray bottle - that is to say a little of this stuff goes a long way.

Duracell is terrible now. AA and AAA all leak in my experience over past few years. I stopped buying them.
they are getting slammed with fakes, even major retailors like Walmart have been found to be selling fakes (they claim they don't know), you have to look for the laser etching, it' super lite but it is there and it won't scrape off (ya, the forgers try to print it on). This repor is a bit old, but you get the idea Counterfeit Duracell Coppertop AA / AAA Batteries | Consumer Alert
 
Update on the Arken EP8 1-8X28 LPVO. I order one July 1, a couple of days after they were announced when they were quoting a 4 week lead time. Still haven't received it but have gotten updates from them saying that they were having issues with their reticle provider. I'd rather wait for them to get it right than get something half baked. They did give all the early orderers a coupon good for a free Outlier RiZero timed muzzle brake (MSRP $119.99). The brake looks interesting and locks in place via a screw that clamps the brake onto the barrel after you screw it on (like what Barrett uses for the M82A1 brake) so it's easy to time. I'll try it (the brake) on an upcoming .223 Wylde build. I still plan to do a comparison review when I get the scope, which I'll put up in the Equipment forum. If anyone is still interested, the 25% off is still good, but now they are quoting 9 week lead times (they say mine will ship Sept. 10th).
Finally got the ship confirmation on the Arken EP8 1-8X28 LPVO, USPS says it will arrive Thursday. Their web site is now quoting a six week lead time, still accepting code SAVE25%.
 
Damn. 100 or 150 batteries. Damn. I needed 4 for the scale yesterday. Used my last 4 AAA's. But 100 of them???? Wow! Haven't needed that many batteries since the kids were young.

But price per battery is like back in the Radio Shack days. I wonder if they'll punch my battery ticket.

Weight is just a number. Go by looks.

There, now you need ZERO batteries.
