@ctgolfer On the other end of the spectrum from this is a cordless 20V Porter-Cable 1/2" drill/driver with two 1.3Ah batteries on clearance at Walmart stores for $40 in-store only (YMMV).
I just snagged one, and it’s a great tool!

@ukedog Price dropped to $40 in many stores now.
I can almost imagine a “product pitch” for Piggy on the tv show Shark Tank…
@fivetalents Thanks fivetalents. Buying gift cards online is getting to be an adventure these days. I tried to order two of these from PayPal, using my charge card for payment, but they removed that payment option. So I removed one, and found I could then pay that way. And recent Newegg sales of gift cards don’t offer a PayPal option (I don’t trust them with my CC info).
And don’t even get me started on giftcards.kroger.com (aka GiftCardMall aka Blackhawk Networks). I discovered I wasn’t alone after reading other user reviews on that outfit!
@mrvietnam Heads up (and YMMV), but while I do see the $5 in my PayPal “wallet” after following this link, it apparently keeps me from buying the recent PayPal Digital Gift cards for Lowe’s ($50 for $45) or Home Depot ($110 for $100) while it’s sitting there. Kind of a circular effect trying to order, logging back in then seeing the unable to order msg.
Again, this might be just me. But I suspect if I use that $5 on some other non-gift-card order first, I wouldn’t have any issues ordering a gift card.
Thanks fivetalents! Ya, I did miss the last one. These don’t seem to come up too often!
I wish Home Depot would open a store near me (sadly, Lowe’s is our only nearby equivalent).
But Home Depot’s online specials are often legit good deals…
@fivetalents Showing $100 for me (no discount). But Kroger is still offering $300 Lowe’s eGift Card for $270–plus you can get “fuel points”, fwiw.
@fivetalents Brave new world, this toothbrush with bluetooth. So you install an app on your cell phone, and you’re all good.
LOL!
Although I don’t participate in “connected-speaker technology” myself, this does seem pretty cool.
Better yet would be if you could configure Alexa to use Samuel L. Jackson for all replies imo. Or maybe Gilbert Gottfried.
