Here is the video showing the deal online, but it's also available in store and it's hackable in store. ua-cam.com/video/DW7UszGRlJ8/v-deo.htmlsi=FzNhscnB3fYHIGoH
@@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL Thank you, Jesse, and Happy New Year!🎊🎆 The view count was definitely a bit of a shock, but it just goes to show how unpredictable this whole thing is.
@@WorksIRL A lot of people, including myself, have been told that Lowe’s doesn’t allow hacks on their BOGO sales. I’ve gotten two hackable deals from Lowe’s now, and felt it was worth letting people know about it. The other deals are pretty good, too, but I have to control myself lol.
@ Happy New Year to you, Jim. The view count is definitely a nice surprise, but I feel like I’m on an icy hill. I have been sliding backwards lately, so I’m hoping to improve this year.
@ That’s the benefit of reading viewer’s comments. Viewers have told me that Lowe’s allows hacks on in store BOGOS. I don’t necessarily believe everything people say, so I confirm through research and purchases.
@@WorksIRL Hey, Jim. If you're on the fence about getting the right angle impact wrench as part of the BOGO, I posted a video that might convince you. I literally break down the price if you were to purchase the case, starter kit and right angle impact separately.
Diligent Dave.. Cool video brother. I never find deals like this when I'm in the store with money to spare. Only when I don't have the money for them. Oh well it's just my luck I guess. LOL Thanks for sharing it with us.
@@RenegadesGarage I know the feeling. I’ve seen great deals sell out while I’ve tried to decide if I could afford them. The Kobalt BOGO should be available everywhere, though. It’s supposed to expire on the first, but I’m wondering if they might extend it like they did with the $49 Skil 12v kits.
That is a good deal! Thanks for sharing. I believe I showed that deal in another video, but for $20 more, they have two 4.0 batteries and a charger that has a BOGO available.
@@JT-lq4yd The $20 difference is because it's two 4.0 batteries instead of one 4.0 and one 2.0. They have the same deal you're talked about at my store, and I showed it in a video, but I think the $99 kit is a way better deal when you consider that you can also do a free tool hack.
@@JT-lq4yd That's how I got the Craftsman brushless impact driver that I tested head to head against my Dewalt DCF787. All of the listed BOGO tools are brushed, but my store has the brushless impact driver on clearance for $59 as a bare tool because they got the new model and want to get rid of the old one. I talked to the manager and he let me get the brushless impact driver as a BOGO instead of one of the brushed tools.
Hey Dave! I just picked up that Recip saw as a BOGO, with the 99.00 Case Stack deal! Recip saw is a very solid and competent tool. Looking forward to your take/ test on it! I did a quick preliminary test by using a diablo pruning blade and cut up a big branch that came down during a recent storm. Too small of scope to break out one of my chainsaws. Pruning is a good test of a recip saw too. Happy New Years!
That's awesome! I'll be trying it out soon. I'm going to do an unboxing and test video after the holiday. TBH, I don't own any other Kobalt power tools, and didn't really want to get into yet another platform. I was looking at the Dewalt DCS382 because it's available with a hack and I already have Dewalt batteries and chargers. The Kobalt has an adjustable shoe and a rafter hook, though, and the Dewalt doesn't. It's not a big deal to me, but it is kinda nice to have. Since I'm just a DIYer, it doesn't really matter how many platforms I have anyway, as long as I have the batteries and chargers for each one. In fact, I think multiple platforms is the best way to get budget friendly DIY tools. I'm actually planning on doing a video that explains that this next year sometime.
@@DiligentDave1966 Hey again Dave. Have You checked out the great deal on the drill/ driver kit, as well as the impact driver kits? I picked up the drill/ driver kit, mainly for the battery and the 85 watt charger, which is a good balance between decent charge times, and not overheating the battery. At first, I didn’t take to the drill, but after using it for awhile, it has grown on me. Maybe I got lucky, but the drivetrain is very smooth in High, and that Jacobs chuck has zero/ minimal runout! I hear ya on having multiple platforms, but I go with the best tool for the job. I now own just about everything but Festool 🙄 💵 Harbor Freight lines, and FLUX. 😆 I think you will like the Kobalt recip saw. Looking forward to the video idea you have! Happy New Years !!!!!!
@ Are you referring to the $79 drill driver that I showed in the video? I have my old Dewalt brushless combo, an old Milwaukee M12 combo that is brushed and the Ridgid high torque hammer drill combo.
@ I’m going to be honest, I also posted a video about my OCD. I’m a little addicted to buying drills and impact drivers. I have returned pretty much everything I don’t need, though. The main reason I have been keeping my eye out for a clearance on the DCD999/DCF887 combo is that I really like the 999, and I’d love to try out the 887. Several channels have talked bad about the 887, and even gotten it to smoke, but I have heard several professionals swear by it as a great impact driver. I have also been looking at the 12v Skil sales lol. I rarely use circular saws because I’m not very good with them, but I really should practice more because they are very useful.
Yeah, that's probably the only downside. They also don't have the button for quick socket release, but I'm okay with that. I do like the round handle, though. I can't tell you how many times I have had to put some force behind a ratchet, and the square Craftsman handles became uncomfortable very quickly. As I said in the video, these are more of a backup for me than anything else. I was in the middle of doing some work on my car, one time, and my ratchet failed in the middle of the job. I had to jump in my other car and exchange the ratchet just to finish the job. Besides, I've heard good things about the V series. They're not made in America, but America doesn't make hardly any hand tools anymore.
@@Benitodelacruz-d9p That’s probably why the signage doesn’t get updated half of the time. The store still showing the $129 price tag is really understaffed.
@ I agree that most stores are like that. Home Depot is not much better. You will almost never see anyone just standing around at the two stores I go to, though. In fact, the manager at one of them has asked me to apply a couple of times. The managers are doing a lot of the work because they’re understaffed.
@ These two stores have been understaffed pretty much since the lockdown in 2020. Meanwhile, just three stores down from one of them, there’s a Walmart that has plenty of employees standing around. A lot of them don’t even speak English, though.

thanks fir sharing brother
You're very welcome! I plan on doing an unboxing and test video asap.
@DiligentDave1966 looking forward to it
you becoming king of Bargain hunting ... another great video
DIYers on a budget have to save money wherever they can.

Not bad Dave. Merry Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
@@learningwithjuan To you as well.
Dave, I went to my local Lowe's and they had a Craftsman 2 and 4 ah battery kit with charger on clearance for $79.
That is a good deal! Thanks for sharing. I believe I showed that deal in another video, but for $20 more, they have two 4.0 batteries and a charger that has a BOGO available.
@DiligentDave1966 The $20 difference might be due to regional inventory levels, I am not sure.
