Day 5 *WAS* the Skil Power Impact Power Wrench for $29.95. Note that $29.95 is now their current price. I know day 4 wasn't grill tools initially either (nor was it anything SuperJ or I said), but I can't recall what it was now -- a power inflator I think.

Day 4 turns out to be grill tools Day 5 is a tea kettle Day 8 a garage door opener Day 11 is completely different from what it started as and I have no clue what it might be, maybe a tire gauge?

Day 5 is, as you suggest, almost certainly the Skil Power Wrench. Note that last year these were discounted to as little as $20 after Christmas. Day 9 looked like a tool box or bait box to me, but I think you're right. The timer from yesterday looked good to me at nearly 1/2 off. I doubt that Day 12 will be discounted enough for me to be interested, but who knows. Day 4 is a waffle maker, George Foreman grill, or similar I think.

It sucks. Day #1 was $2 off a dog kennel. Today's is $4 off a 6" fiberglass flower pot. I can barely contain my excitement at the ones of dollars I could save off items nobody is thinking of buying!! Since they show you the outline of the future semi-bargains to be had I'm having fun trying to guess what the items will be. Here's what I've got so far: Day 4: No clue. Possibly a giant Lego person head. Day 5: Possibly a power wrench, which would be interesting, but I'm guessing they'll only offer $1 off on actually desirable items. Day 6: Mixer. Day 7: No clue. All I know is that it's cylindrical -- slightly barrel shaped, actually. Will it be a mini-keg of Heineken? Probably not. Day 8: A freakin' tea kettle. Be sure to drink your Ovaltine! Day 9: A cat carrier. Day 10: A coffee maker. Yawn. Day 11: I'm guessing one of those multi-bit sets. Day 12: Last year's LiOn cordless driver. I saw this promo a couple days ago. It sucks.
