So about 10 years ago I picked up a 16.8v cordless drill\/flashlight combination for something like $29.99.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Worked great for a few years when one of the batteries stopped taking a charge.\u00a0\u00a0 Went back to Sears only to discover they no longer made any 16.8V devices.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Looked on Ebay & Amazon and they wanted $49 for a used battery, and $100 for a new one.\u00a0\u00a0 So I went back to sears.com and started looking for a new drill.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course, little did I know I was going to stumble upon this for $299 (free shipping):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only did it replace the drill and flashlight along with 4 other tools, it also comes with 3 batteries and the rolling toolbox.\u00a0\u00a0 Great addition to the Home Theater installation shop on wheels<\/a>.\u00a0 A quick look inside the box:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first level holds the drills and light.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second level has the three saws.\u00a0\u00a0 The only think missing was a hammer drill for installing TV mounts on brick fireplaces.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So I added one of those as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, to top this all off, I also picked up an gorgeous Hammerhead LX stainless steel toolbox off of Craigslist<\/a>.\u00a0 (This is what the Siren Padlock in the first picture is for)\u00a0 Unfortunately, the company went out of business, but I managed to pull some info out of the google cache:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
