I imagine that by this time next year you'll be zipping around in the Bennelson Supersport Hybrid; driven by a hundred cordless drills and a couple of chainsaws. :P

Yeah, that's a thought. Those Lithium drill paks are pretty hefty for rating, aren't they? I bet you could get a discount if you bought....250 of them.

"Hi, Sears? Yes, I'd like to order TWO PALLETS of cordless drills..."

Or, you could buy a BRAND NEW set of batteries for the Electro-Metro, and still have some left over!

...Congratulations!

...and, FWIW, Sears "owns" K-Mart (and Lands-End, too, I think).
