    Skil 7.2v Lithium Ratchet AND Driver $20 total for both

    Lowe's is closing out their 7.2v Skil Lithium Ratchet with the Lithium Driver for $20. We talked about these before and I bought the ratchet for $20 a year ago and have been so pleased I wanted the driver, but wasn't going to pay $40. This Sunday at the Lowes in Valrico, I saw they had the two tool set for $20, and of course, I bought one and told some of the guys at work who picked up a couple. Excellent for a battery screw driver or light duty ratchet, especially for the price. Sears sell the driver by itself for $60

    My local Lowe's in Central NJ had the set on clearance for $40 about 2 weeks ago...they still seemed to move slowly.

    If the clearance price is nationwide, maybe I'll bring the receipt in for an adjustment.

    Can't go wrong for that price (even $40 for the set).

      Any chance of posting the receipt so we can get SKU, price details and try at other stores. Lowes is erratic to say the least and documentation sometimes helps.

        Any chance you could post a scan of the receipt, or PM it?

          Any chance anyone would buy one of these and ship it to me?

          Every time one of these deals comes up I check the local Lowe's and they got nothin' - same today, hit up every one in Lexington and none of them have this combo. Ran into the same thing with the kerosene heaters, whenever those got closed out. If they had anything it was snapped up in minutes.

          About the only good deals I find here is at the used Sears store, which is closing next month. Clearance pricing has the three-drawer ball bearing workbenchesdown to $90 ($150 @ 40% off) but they've got a dozen of them still that haven't moved in months. When they hit 50% off I'm gonna bite on two of them, methinks, and maybe a Mosquito Magnet if any are left....

            I have the kit. I got it when Lowe's started closing them out. The rachet is very handy. The drill driver is no more than a cordless screwdriver.

              I went to my local Lowes and couldn't even find them. I would also be interested in the SKU because I had nothing to reference and the guy thought he remembered them as separate items but also stated he hadn't seen any kind of a clearance on Skil products. I told him I thought it was a kit and he just looked confused...

                The screwdriver is no better than a normal unpowered screwdriver. It is very underpowered even for light duty - buyer beware
