Anyone have experience fabricating copper?

Was looking at getting a new cordless drill since the two 9. 6 volt Makita drill-drivers I have weren't cutting the mustard like once upon a time. The combo kits with three tools and accessories are a good buy since you get the package for about $125. more than just the drill. Went to Lowes today and bought the Bosch combo kit(1/2" Driver/Hammerdrill, Sawzall, Circular Saw, Flashlite, and carrying bag with charger and two 18 volt batteries)... Lowes has 20% off all the combo toolkits till the end of the year and you get a mail in rebate that gets you a Bosch $179. AM/FM/CD Radio Powerbox with 4GFCI receptacles for plugging in non-cordless tools, etc. I thought it was a pretty good deal so am passing it on... Merry Christmas! And don't forget the less fortunate...
 
Good luck on getting your rebate from Lowes. I've been waiting since 10/08/05 for my "free battery" to go with the cordless combo set I bought. I've called 4 times about it and they keep telling me "it takes time to process these requests". What?... almost 3 months now to fill out a shipping tag and send me a freakin' battery? Here's the part I really like. When I sent in my rebate form, it was rejected... something about I didn't purchase a qualifying tool. BS... so I called and got them to process the request. My buddy bought another set, same rebate promise... . he got the EXACT SAME LETTER OF REJECTION THAT I DID! I smell rebate scam... . and it's coming from Lowe's.



I'd be interested to see how your rebate turns out.
 
Batteries and?

I have the Craftsman 18 volt drill and light combo. It has plenty of power, but chuck is a pain, does not hold bits worth a darn. Batteries are another pain, had one of the batteries go down, will not charge anymore. Cost is half as much as the whole set! $55 plus shipping! What a pain. I am just going to use the other battery up and then find something else, Dewalt, Makita, something. . :D
