Check your Lowes stores! Yesterday I walked by and noticed a Powerlock on clearance for $23 (usually $56), so I grabbed it and had an internal debate whether I really needed it or not. I decided to get it so I won't be tempted to use my TiNi one. When they rung it up, it was only $16 and some change! Just letting everyone know that it might be worth checking your local stores.

Wow! That is a smoking deal! I got mine for $32 back in November and I am jealous of this deal.

Thanks for sharing - everyone who doesn't have a PowerLock, go to Lowes and get one tonight! :rofl:

Best deal for a new multi I've seen is a Wave for $20... I regret not getting it sooo badly.

I went to 2 Lowes and scored a SOG Power Duo (the last one) for $28.61 including tax, and dropped my change in the can for Muscular Dystrophy. Neither store had any PowerLocks.  The second store was completely out of anything by SOG.  I wouldn't have gone since I didn't need anything else, so thank you for the tip.  I'm going to try to hit another Lowes tomorrow.

Hit two more Lowes today one had a Leatherman Super tool 300 for $47.00.  I passed.
Second one had a SOG PowerLock for $41.00.  I passed.  I would have snapped them up if they had been priced anywhere close to what Jripp found.  Tried to hit a third Lowes and they were already closed when I got there.  I'll try again tomorrow.

For that price it would be well worth picking one up, and a few more as backups!

The PowerLock is one of the great tools in the multitool industry, and in many ways has never been surpassed.

We never have deals like that here.  If somethjing goes on sale at one of the few stores that carry them, they are generally only marked down to slightly above what I can buy it for and have shipped from the US.... regular price.   ::)

Mind you I did once find a Leatherman H502 at Canadian Tire marked down to something like $25 from $75, so I guess it's possible.  :D

Similar deal here. The Wave is about the same price there as on Amazon though, so when I want to throw some money around and I'm impatient...
