    If you know of a great tool that's on sale, this would be the place to share.

    Here's one that is at a good price. It works great as a regular screwdriver for removing action screws and other general shop and home work. Also is super handy for Piano Life Saver installs because the head can move to so many different positions. I paid $50.00 for mine, and they're on sale at Lowe's for $25.00 through 12/2/15.

    The item number is 607972 if the link below doesn't work.

    I've been pleased with mine, with the one negative being the switch to change directions. It's right on the grip and often gets in a "middle" position. Dumb location for it, but it's still a good tool.

        One good place to find bargains is Rockler.com.  I just purchased a digital measuring tape that reads in inches and metric. Maybe not on sale but I have been looking for one for a long time . Another great tool is the Dewalt gyroscopic screwdriver with free led flashlight, two lith ion batteries and a charger. For $99 it is a bargain

    You might want to check out some of the reviews on the gyroscopic screwdriver. The torque increases as you twist it, so it's a problem for some folks who tried it and didn't like the feature. Make sure you have a return option.
    YMMV.
