Hmm… Tool Porn

So about 10 years ago I picked up a 16.8v cordless drill/flashlight combination for something like $29.99. Worked great for a few years when one of the batteries stopped taking a charge. Went back to Sears only to discover they no longer made any 16.8V devices. Looked on Ebay & Amazon and they wanted $49 for a used battery, and $100 for a new one. So I went back to sears.com and started looking for a new drill. Of course, little did I know I was going to stumble upon this for $299 (free shipping):

Not only did it replace the drill and flashlight along with 4 other tools, it also comes with 3 batteries and the rolling toolbox. Great addition to the Home Theater installation shop on wheels. A quick look inside the box:

The first level holds the drills and light.

The second level has the three saws. The only think missing was a hammer drill for installing TV mounts on brick fireplaces. So I added one of those as well.

Finally, to top this all off, I also picked up an gorgeous Hammerhead LX stainless steel toolbox off of Craigslist. (This is what the Siren Padlock in the first picture is for) Unfortunately, the company went out of business, but I managed to pull some info out of the google cache:
