    ryobi airgrip multitask $7.50 at hd "normally 49.50"

    I know HD has had these on sale for a while now (I bought some as gifts for christmas for I think $20). Over the weekend we lost power with the wind storm, I was really impressed how the the led flashlight worked on the unit. (I needed a light in the nursery) I bought another one just for the flashlight.

    I used my 18V Ryobi Flashlight and the led flashlight from the airgrip multitask and we were able to give the baby diner at the table and get him ready for bed. I was ready to leave the LED flash light on all night as a night light, but the power came on around 11PM.

    They has a whole bunch of them so maybe they'll drop them even lower.

        FWIW these dont work very well (or at all) if you have any form of texture on the walls. Living in AZ the typical wall finish here makes these a total waste of time.

        I tried some a couple of years back and they went straight back to HD. I guess thats why the are soooooo cheap.

          actually if you use the foam gasket that's supplied, it will stay on the walls until the batteries run down even with the textured wall of my home in Mesa.

            I may have had an earlier version. I did come with some gasket or whotnot to use with rough surfaces but I could not get it to stick to my walls, none of them, no way, no how. - go figure. Maybe it just didnt like my house

              for 7.50 lots of little uses

              It also comes with a dock that has magnets on it so you don't have to use the "airgrip"

              For a "laser level", "extra hand", LED flash light, and a magnetic parts/screwdriver holder it can have some use.

              it can be seen here:

                marked down to $5 now at HD

                I think the AA LED flashlight is worth the buy. Get all the rest as a bonus

                  Where is it in HD? I looked at Ryobi stuff in two areas - some in Tools, some down by the paint for some reason - and didn't say it. I was in a hurry both times I was there so I never had time to ask anyone.

                    at my hd, it was on the floor, near the ryobi drill bits and things.
