So the other day I'm checking out the markdowns at Lowe's and I see some guy looking at this Hitachi cordless kit. He seems to be struggling with the decision while I'm lurking behind trying to get a glimpse of the price. Well, after a few minutes, he gives up and moves away, and I saw the price was $145. Man I snapped that puppy up in a heartbeat and bolted for the checkout lane. Here's what was in the kit:


18v drill
18V recip saw
18V circular saw
18v flash light charger ONLY 1 battery and tool bag

I remember reading "somewhere" that the retail value is $487. I can't believe that guy passed it up.


Since it was missing a battery, did you ask for a bigger discount?

Wait for it... Wait.... Wait...

Forget casting and reeling, we're talking full power drag net.

Took my son fishing while on a Pioneers camping trip this past weekend. That was his problem, he couldn't wait -- he was more like washing his bait and hooks. Type A personalities don't do well fishing. :-) Ah well, he did have a good time.

Naaa... Casted too soon. Spooked 'em.

Yep. You gotta wait until my cheek heals, first.
