Got Lucky for a Gloat

Jul 11, 2007 3 Replies

Went into Lowes to check out cordless screwdrivers as I seem to b e loosing a lot of tools lately. Anyway after looking at the Hitachi I made some comments about them looking like tennis shoes as I had a Hitachi router kit. Sales guy goes I've got one here under the the counter we don't stock anymore and its missing the wrenches and manuals. I could probably give it to you for $10. I take a look and its a ML12VC. I have the same kit with both bases already so I go OK. He calls a manager to confirm this and the manager wants $20. I offer to split the difference, which is accepted so I got it for $15. Still missing a cordless screwdriver but I'm smiling.

Damn, that is a gloat; you suck. I have tried the same thing, but get offered 10% off or something like that.

Best part is my cordless screwdriver was in the shop when I got home so I dont have to buy one. However the Hitachi is pretty sweet with LI Battery, so I may have to go back.

If you're under 50, you're correct.
