Not to knock your gloat but...

My borg had the same deal "yellow tag for 99.00 - normally $159".
They had about five of them in a clearance area and the guy in the nifty
orange apron says "Anything you want but don't like the price on, let me
know and I'll see what I can do." Well I,m getting ready to demolish a
garage so I can build a bigger better one and I think this Tiger saw could
come in handy. Well the SWMBO doesn't see it that way and we leave. That's
OK, they got plenty of them and now I'll have a chance to look on line and
see what they are going for. $139.00. The next morning I head back to the
borg and go right to clearance city. Only 3 left and no salesman around to
barter with. After about 10 minutes of checking out the rest of the
clearance stuff an employee shows up and starts doing whatever it is they
do. I ask "Is $99 the best price on the Sawzall or is it gonna get cheaper
in a few days?". She pulls out a printed sheet, looks it over and says
"$70.00 is the lowest I can go.".

Sold!

Why I didn't buy all three I'll never know.

Yeah, I don't think there is any truth whatsoever to any of those rumors
about the Tiger Saw causing impotence. <g>

I hate to correct you but #1, It's spelled i m p o r t a n c e. #2, my
mother always said I was important. I didn't need any saw to make me so.

Congratulation :-)
You Are Going to Love That Monster !!!

The Tiger Saw has more uses around a normal house than you can shake a stick
at -- and in the hands of the clever (or crazy :-) ) it has even more!

Got trees? It's a great pruning tool. (And just switch blades and you can
convert all those branches to mulch in no time.)

For thrills and chills get yourself a long pruning blade and use it carve
your Easter Ham and Thanksgiving Turkey! (Good reason to get a Power
Washer too -- to clean up the dinner guests :-) )

I also did well (pricewise) on my Tiger Saw some 18 months or so ago. "Ole
Tige" isn't too far from being one of the most-used tools in my arsenal!

Because it's a Tiger Saw. Not a Sawzall.
