Benchmade griptilian (full size and mini) and Spyderco delica are great all around knives.

At one point I had three of those....I wonder where they are?

In the stores that still have them, it is down to $129

Confirmed Bought

The ridgid brushless circ saw hammer drill combo is down to $129. Still some available in N Austin.

The brushless ridgid works well. And if you can find one of the kits still available from the holidays you can get a great deal.

Tempting.

posted in the dewalt forum but I'll post here too because it involves a deal Was just in HD and they have a dws709 (12 in 15 amp sliding) for $259 and a dws779 for $399. I'm seeing mixed reviews on the 709. Does anyone have experience with either?

What what? Where did I miss this?

yeah. Just saw Home Depots price drop.

With this set being new, you still get the 5 yr warranty. I won't be buying a set as I am knee deep in Ridgid and bosch 18v tools, I can't justify it.

The reason you are getting away from craftsman is dead batteries. if you buy into the ridgid line, their lifetime service agreement includes battery coverage for any batteries bought in a kit (with a tool). Or you could get your craftsman batteries rebuilt. I haven't done it, but others probably have. Otherwise, any of the above will fit the bill. If there is any special tool (other than drill, impact and saw) that you are interested in, find who makes that tool best and buy the rest accordingly..

According to a post elsewhere, the Ridgid x5 Brushless Hammer Drill, Circ Saw, 2 Ah battery, 4 Ah battery and charger are down to $139 in store if you can still find them. They were $179 around the holidays, $149 when I bought it a few weeks ago and now $139. The saw is awesome (7 1/4"). And there is always the LSA. The Ridgid blower was down to $59 at the store closest to me. The milwaukee fastback box cutter two pack was down to $7

The lowes service desk kills me. If I pick up an online order, 8 people will walk in an out of the service desk area and not make eye contact with anyone in line. There are actually 3 lines (returns, online orders and store service) and each line will have 1- 3 people queued up and one person helping those people out. No assistance comes until someone asks.

have had one of these on my keychain for a couple years. I usually use it to open packages.

Lower your expectations.

still $79 around me.

They were 3.0. And still in stock in a lot of places. I got a pair....of batteries.

The Bosch powerboxx always rates highly (though it won't help charge any Milwaukee batteries).

I know lowes discounts are often YMMV, but I'll post anyway: Bosch 2-Pack 18-Volt 3.0-Amp Hours Lithium Power Tool Batteries $79.99 (if the link doesn't work, go to lowes.com and search for the 2 pack) http://www.lowes.com/pd_756532-353-BAT619G-2P___?zipCode=78753&address2=&state=TX&address1=13000+N+I35+Svc+Rd+Sb%2C+Bldg+12&catalogId=10051&productId=999921628&pl=1&city=Austin&selectedLocalStoreBeanArray=%5Bcom.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%406ef06ef%5D&storeNumber=1725&Ntt=bosch+18v&langId=-1&storeId=10151

great haul. thanks for taking the time to make a video. p.s. Voice did not match what I had in my head for a Jimbo

Well done. I'm working my way up to the bigger projects like these.

From a quick search it appears bosch and fein are going to switch interfaces on their multi-tools to have a better 3-D fit with their blades and to reduce the stress on the motors of the tools. http://www.toolsofthetrade.net/power-tools/bosch-and-fein-announce-changes-to-oscillating-tools_o.aspx as if two types of connections weren't enough. I guess what I am saying this is a good deal now but you are buying into old tech.
