Another Costco score, this looks to me like the 18V set that normally retails for around $399 in most places — and if it’s different, I’m not sure that the differences would make that much difference for homeowners. We’ve had our hands on a number of different Hitachi drill/drivers and they’re not bad at all, as long as you can get used to the Halo plasma pistol styling.
This kit includes a trim saw, a drill/driver, a recip, and a light. Most of the kits I see online include Hitachi’s fluorescent light, while this one includes a standard incandescent bulb-type. But I’m not sure that’s a bad thing, either. You also get a charger, two batteries, and a canvas-like bag to keep everything in one place.
Again, this deal seems to be in stores only, so if you’re interested you’ll want to hit your local Costco soon.

No luck at mine in Pittsburgh. Costco.ca has it for $350 Canadian. I doubt they ship to the US though, and that’s still more than $300 US.
