Don't miss this sale at Lowe's

No, the website says "ALL * power tools" and the asterisk provides the link to the excluded text Hank described. Check the site again yourself. That little asterisk next to ALL leads to the fine print. You're SUPPOSED to miss it so you come to the store all fired up and end up buying all their products anyway. The practice SUCKS, IMHO.

But if there isn't one it bails and the search engine doesn't work well at all...

...

You missed my meaning...if there isn't a local store, their main site forces you to find one. The search engine operation is a sorry mess so that (at least so for) for me has never worked...I end up having to look up independently a store to enter. What ticks me off is you can't just search inventory for a product to see if they carry it independent of a "local" store...

I got the same thing in the mail, in coupon/postcard form. the disclaimer is on there. Small, but on the same page as the ALL POWER TOOLS line.

Put in your zipcode and they'll tell you what store is closest to you. If your state isn't included in Lowes' range, pick a zip from some place like NYC or L.A. Google for it by searching "los angeles zip code" or use

Wow, a PC557 bisquicker for $147.20? _Good_ price.

Routers, saws, planers, saw blades, drill bits, roto-zip, drills, . . . .

I bought my daughter a Hitachi 14.4 cordless drill, with two batteries, charger, flashlight, and screwdriver bits for $71. I have other Hitachi tools and I've been satisfied with them. I also bought myself a roto-zip for less than $50. I'll use it as a very small router when one of my large ones is too big for the job.

Other than that, I already have any other tool they have, so I was just out of luck. :-)

IC I thought you having trouble seeing the offer.

...

Except it fails if there isn't one..

Why should I have to??? Doing things me is what computers are supposed to be for! :(

I refuse to do something that is so inanely ... :)

It's just an idiotic/simplistic site design created by someone who never saw a town less than several hundred thousand, undoubtedly...
