A well misplaced adjective was misleading. When I said "Hand", I meant
"hand power", basically just about any tool with a cord or battery sold
out of their tool department is on sale.

When I reread what you wrote I could see it either way. Either way, it is a
great deal and thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Aren't we suppose to get together for a cup of coffee? Or was that another

Good.... Maybe this will force Home Depot to get going again this year.

Amen, bruddah. My wife's in the hospital, and I have a feeling January's
and February's budgets are already spent, and then some.

I picked up a Delta dust collector yesterday for $129.00 It's only the
AP400 model but in a 20' x 20' shop, it's enough and beats the little
portable model I had before.

I have one of those, nice little unit for small spaces. I sure would like
to get another of those Miluakee routers. Bought one not long ago as a
router table router and love it. Want another to use and put my Bosch 1617
on the shelf.

She's out now, for now. Has to go back for gallbladder surgery next week.
At least she's home. I missed her. Being a single parent sucks.

I was laid off a few months before 9/11. It really sux, being part of the
"cargo" they toss overboard to try to keep the ship afloat. Hang in there,
I hope something turns up for you. I'm doing ok this year after two years
of much-less-than-ok.

It wants YOUR zip so that it can point you to the closest store.

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.

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 www.zipcode.com to find it precisely.

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.

That redundant word is spelled "stupid", and the answer to the
question is "because -you- want the info from that particular site."

More likely it's some clown in Corporate who has never used a website
so (s)he doesn't even know WTF to ask for or how to spec it so we
designers can give them what they and their clients/users _need_.
I agree, it's a bad design which ****es me off every time I use it,
too. Even if I know they have it, if I can't find it online to check
price and availability, I go elsewhere to shop for it. Their loss.
