At $149 you might expect something bare-bones or with only one battery, but on top of the Drill and Radio, this kit actually comes with two batteries, a charger, and a contractor bag.

Sears has a hot deal up right now on a 12V Drill and Impact kit for the low low price of $39.99, Regular $109.99. The kit also includes a single 12V lithium-ion battery. The kit would be considered light-duty by today's standards, but at only $40 it is well worth the price. Buy it as a tool to use around the house and it will pay for itself after just a few uses. Heck, the impact has more torque than the impact I used every day on the job a few years ago. If I didn't have...

Why is a Lee Valley free shipping promotion a big deal? Because, despite their nice selection of woodworking tools and small gadgets & gizmos, nobody wants to have to pay for shipping. Usually when I am buying from Lee Valley, it is not something I need right away, so I wait until their free shipping promotion and save.

We don't see deals like this very often, but Sears has their Craftsman Nextec line 12-volt Multi-Tool (tool only) for sale for less than ten bucks. This is just the bare tool and doesn't come with any accessories, but what would you expect for only pocket change. The regular price for this tool is $59.99, and kit sells for just under $80. This deal is probably only worthwhile to people that already own Craftsman Nextec 12-volt tools, as a separate purchase of a battery and a charger will cost you nearly $50. You would be better off...
