    Rockwell Oscillating 73 pc. toolset $49 + free ship

    Maybe regional, but after reading a writeup in the new Family Handyman mag, its one of the better kits according to them , http://www.lowes.com/pd_371432-54602...AID=1024232498

    If you want or need one of these I would hurry as last time they were offered at this price they sold out quickly. Variable speed and the accessories alone are prolly worth the price, better hurry, no promo codes available

      I've read that Rockwell is one of the better osc. tools. Great price too! However, I bought a HF cheapo a couple years ago and have used it a lot and it's still running so I guess I don't really need a replacement now. Was that a run-on sentence or what?

        That is a good price for what you get. But, I'm like phrog...I have the HF tool and it's still going strong.

          My limited knowledge of sentence structure tells me after reading your sentence that you thought was a run-on sentence, that in all probability and I might be up for correction by those with greater language skills, that it sounds to me that it's within the parameters not constituting what we may refer to as a run-on sentence.

            Some of the Rockwell MF blades were on 50-75% clearance at my Lowe's when I looked Saturday. Hemisphere cutter, carbide rasp. Wasn't sure if they would fit mine, so I passed. Also, a couple of the tools specific to the Sonicrafter Universal Fit tool (shears, etc).
            I have a little blog about my shop

              If I were a drinking man, I would say, "I'll drink to that," and then, while inebriated, try to figure out what in the world you were saying although I think you were saying that I did not err even though I initially thought that I had.

                  I also have the HF model,but I have a feeling it won't last forwever and this one comes with a few extra's ,that the only reason I posted for those who might be on the border about purchasing a tool like this. That being said this tool will not accept the newest version of their cutting heads as the changed the style, you'll need an adapter like those Bosch gave away a while back to use others, not a big deal but you need to know this. Thanks Chris for the HU on the extra's I'll check them out at my local Lowes

                    LOL
                    I do it all the time ;-) Some of us have a lot to say about one thought that often encompasses or hints at other thoughts making for extraordinary sentence length. Feel free to make them bite size at your leisure :-)

                          I can understand 2 - one for each hand. But where does the third one go?

                              The adapter comes in the kit. I have the 21 piece in the soft bag. Thick I paid around $80 for it and still feel that I got a good deal on a great tool.
                              I'd rather have the hard case. Looks like a excellent deal.

                              I had the HF prior to this one. I got ready to use it. It had worked fine the last time I used it, but it didn't do anything when I fired it up.
                              The shaft was sheared off. This was after maybe being used 4 or 5 times.
                              Probably a hairline fault in the shaft.
