I don't have the 18v drill, but that 7.2v screwdriver is the best on
the market.

But you've got to remember, it's a _screwdriver_, not a drill/driver.
With that very special purpose in mind, it gives you the best of ONE
world, not a compromise between two.

It's got a bit brake, so when you take your finger off the trigger, the
bit stops, therefore preventing boogering. It's got a 1/4" hex
quick-change chuck, so you pop bits in and out in two seconds. (This
gives way to a little extra runout, but the tradeoff is worth it in a
pure _screwdriver_.) And don't let the 7.2 volts scare you off...this
thing will drive a #8 wood screw 2.5" into softwood, and it will do it
all day. (Assuming you keep the batteries rotating off the charger.)

It's a heavy-duty tool, one that I couldn't live without.

It normally runs $99, so look at this deal as getting an 18v drill for
$34.

A lesser fish would rise to that bait.

I will not.

Sit tight boys...the hunting...err..I mean the shopping season has just
begun.

There are bigger and better bargains coming.

I don't get interested until the real discount is at least 50%.

This one isn't even worth getting worked up about.

HD had the drill for $110 two weeks ago, so I bought one and sold my old one
on ebay for the same price. Not a gloat, but not bad.

Anyhow, I wonder if the screwdriver is worth the $23. Is there freight on
top of that, since it is internet only?
