DTO is running a special promo on select tools up to 50% off. DTO has a flat rate shipping cost of $14.99 and is notorious for being a little slow on shipping.
Edit : I stand corrected, my order is set to arrive on 8/10
A notable deal available is the Ridgid Light Cannon (factory blemished) for $39.99 plus $14.99 ship = $54.98. That's close to previous lows posted before with the light cannon which is highly rated on Home Depot's reviews.
Some decent deals to be had, but $15 shipping kills most of them unless you live close to a DTO store or plan on loading up on items to defer the shipping cost.
Another notable item might be the Ryobi Hybrid LED Color Range Work Light for $40, which has been OOS at Home Depot for months, which might indicate it being discontinued.
I'll finally have a chance to stop in one of their B&M stores toward the end of the month. Fingers crossed it coincides with one of their better sales, because shipping sure does murder the deal.
An order placed on 6/30 still has not shipped. Its too bad they dont allow adding to orders that have not shipped. They would sell a lot more. Then again, shipping would continually get delayed and items would never ship... lol

I tried doing that to make the shipping worth it with one of their last deals and ordered 3 things. They canceled the $20 drill with no notification (which was the main thing I wanted), but still sent the other 2 and of course still charged the full shipping price.

I had nearly the same thing. Bought a lawnmower that was still a great deal with shipping costs and threw in a hybrid fan since it was flat rate shipping. They cancelled the mower and shipped me a factory blemished fan that was basically regular price if you include the shipping. And I got another useless free sprayer

Wow it's been a couple of months since I received an order from DTO and it was $12.99 shipping back the . I didn't realize they raised it a couple of bucks since then! I would be pissed if I ordered a few higher priced items along with a few lower end items to make the shipping feasible only to have the higher priced items cancelled and still have that large shipping fee applied like a couple of others have stated! Hasn't happened to me yet but definitely puts me on high alert for this lousy tactic by DTO!

Nothing real appealing in this sale really though.
They are coming out with a new model of it though, quite a bit more output.
