hitachi m12V back down to $159.99

[jwaterdawg]

I know its not the lowest it's been but it has been up at $200 for a while so I thought I just put it out there for someone who might have been on the fence about it. Don't forget 10% off. And there's also a $15 off coupon on the back of the Amazon catalog (the one with the guy with the power washer on the front). So with all that we're talking $129. Not a bad price for the big green machine.

I think I threw my amazon catalog out (I didn't notice the $15 off coupon). Is there a code that you can provide (if it's not a single time use code)?

Thanks,
Michael

Hold On

I think that the price should come down even lower, Hitachi has just released a new 3HP model.

I agree with Mike it probably will drop again. It's always a guessing game though between when the price might drop again, when they pull the plug on the 10% off and when the $15 code expires (6/26). Just thought I would put it out there.

Sorry but the code I have is one time use. After getting burned on this a couple of times the first thing I do now is check the Amazon catalog cover to cover. I always save mine now for several months just in case....

Wow, I didn't know there were any routers that required a 20A outlet...

Looking at the new design, I realized where Alienware's case designer must've gone after Dell acquired them.

The old model looks a little too utilitarian, perhaps, but this thing looks like it could emerge from John Hurt's abdomen before scurrying away.
