Yesterday I am checking the clearance center at Lowes for power
tools...

They have a new in box Hitachi set:

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

price marked down from teh 16th was 145.00

I called wife and told her what I wanted for christmas and she was
across the street. Wife doesn't go buy, instead buys DIGITAL CAMERA
for her Mother and Step DAD for $300.00

SO she feels bad and tells me to go get it tonight.. GONE..

Walk around to tool section, retail price for the set with TWO
batteries is

FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY SEVEN DOLLARS!! $487.00 on the shelf..

I'm gonna regret THAT decision for a LONG time.. Next time I just buy
the damn thing!

The silver lining, they have dewalt hammer drills cordless starting on
the markdown latter. Which is what I really want, but DAMN that was a
nice set for $145.00
