    I think this is the same item at AMZ for $20 and free returns if you aren't satisfied.....https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KGF91Q2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    No, it isn't. The one I mentioned made by Dewalt of better quality. Read review about the item on Amazon:

    1.0 out of 5 stars Cheaply made almost damaged battery
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I almost damaged my battery trying to use this. It’s not worth damaging my nicely made and expensive dewalt battery for this. I’m returning this and buying the more expensive dewalt brand battery. At least I know I’m getting a well made and tested product.

    Yes as a fire starter. Have a big zip lock bag by the dryer. Never had any trouble with a handful and some newspaper in the firepit

    My last house I heated with wood and if I wasn't there my wife had a hard time starting a fire so I ended up every couple of burning seasons getting a box of these SuperCeder fire starters: https://www.supercedar.com/

    I would cut them into quarters and wrap in saran wrap to avoid a mess....coupled with a MAPP torch even one of the kids could start a fire in 15 seconds flat.

    Great catch......thanks, will go with the one from Lowes then, I've got a half a dozen of those.

    If you want to start a fire buy a bag of these use a handful and a match,
    https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fritos-Corn-Chips-The-Original-3-5-Oz/727415812

    the best kindling there is next to bark from a white paper birch (Betula papyrifera)
    Its bark is an excellent fire starter; it ignites at high temperatures even when wet. The bark has an energy density of 5,740 cal/g (24,000 J/g) and 3,209 cal/cm3 (220,000 J/cu in), the highest per unit weight of 24 species tested.[7]

    The Dollar Store brand works almost as good. You can also use Lens Cleaning Tissues
    https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pre-Moistened-Tissues-60-ct-Value-Pack/34771924

    and a Ferrocerium rod
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrocerium

    to light the Fritos. Even a Bic Lighter that is out of fuel will throw enough sparks to light the alcohol soaked lens wipes which will light corn chips.

    Just some things to add to your prepping supplies.
     


    Nice find! Especially with all the extra guides. I have a Wahl professional model and they last a long time. Just don't forget to apply oil once in a a while. It helps it from running hot. I've had mine since 2012.

    During the pandemic, I stopped going to the barbershops. Once I learned how to cut my own hair and also my kid's hair, I've been saving a ton of money.

    Jalapeño SPAM has been unobtanium ln stores, and outrageously overpriced online. The Walmart in Sykesville had a bunch of it on the shelf (now minus 6) as of Friday which has been added to our stash.

    Now I have to find some of that , Never had SPAM till I had to work a year in Hawaii , It's all over out there and my local coworkers raged on me till I tried it and now I keep a dozen cans in my food supply .

    Now in Tennessee ,
    Added 50 Magpul 30rd mags MOE Gen2 , from Palmeto State Armory's early Black Friday sale with there promotion code got them for 8.99 each and over 5 you get free shipping. I know that a lot of you can't take advantage of it but see if they will ship to a address out of MD. The price is just too sweet to pass up throwing a few more in the box
