Recent posts regarding the 18v Ryobi tools were of some benefit to me in that I had been shopping Ebay looking for decent prices on new batteries.
Yes, Home Despot (spelling intended) does have a two-pack for $39 and change) but I thought I'd clue you all in to a couple of even better deals they have running at the present time.
#1 The new 5½" circular saw is $59 and change and come with the new laser light. I could probably have scored one of the older ones, new, on Ebay for less but what the hell. I had need of the smaller, lighter one for some projects and so... What WAS really interesting is that in the two Orange Boxes I shopped yesterday, both had the older model sitting in the same area with a closeout price of $77.00 Yep, they appear to be the same saw only the cheaper one is now equipped with a laser.
#2 - and this is the barn burner - is they are selling out the Super Sucker (or whatever) wet/dry hand vacuum cleaners for $20.00. That's right, $20.00 complete with 18 volt battery and the one hour charger. Now, let's see, the single 18 volt battery goes for $24 and change and the charger sells for $19.95. This MIGHT be a steal. Clerk told me the guy before told her he had absolutely no use for the vacuum and bought the package just for the battery and charger. Quantities are limited so grab them while you can.
