R843 18 volt cordless jig saw clearance

[FINER9998]

I was just at my local Home Depot store and I see the R843 18-volt cordless jig saw on clearance of $59.70! It was $199. IMHO, this is a great bargain for anyone interested in a portable jig saw.

I've only seen the cordless jig as part of the 2 tool package (with drill/driver) for $229.

Good deal nonetheless.

It's amusing that HD has the new dual voltage cordless jigs in stock--along with other dual voltage tools--sans the batteries.

Like Cheeky, I've only seen the $229 set. Don't really need another drill but if it were to go on clearance for $150 or so I might bite. This set is the older, pre-MaxSelect tools with 1.9AmpHr batteries and no compatibility with 24V LiIon.
