Red Tool Box Cordless Drill



Wow - what a price difference! (Seller - not item rating)
I was interested in buying this item for my 2 sons, but there was only one available on Amazon, from another seller. This is fortunate for me, because when I searched for it elsewhere, I found the same exact item at Lowes.com - regularly priced $15.99 - it was on sale for $11.99. Certainly a big difference from the $59.99 that the seller was offering it for.

Just goes to show that you should know what you are buying, and check prices elsewhere.

I gave it 3 stars because the item is perfectly fine - it's just that the seller price is terrible.

Another Over-Priced Red Toy Tool
I paid full price for this item in a boutique before I really got into woodworking with my son. We assembled the pre-cut toolbox and bought all the tools that accompany this (a package with a saw, clap, measuring tape, hammer). It was cute for his birthday party, but not practical. In general, these items are way over-priced and do not perform as well as "real" tools. Bottom line: they are toys. This drill's battery never really kept a decent charge, and it was finally thrown out when it melted (super-dangerous) while charging. Now my garage smells like melted plastic and battery acid (did I mention it's dangerous?).

Even if you don't get a defective product, it's a waste of money. Get a real drill at Walmart for 1/2 the price.
