Not exactly a hot deal since I didn't get the price, but wanted to inform you guys that own there C3 power tools, like I do. I could never justify milwaukee or dewalt cordless, although I want too. I stopped by sears to pick up a couple sockets and found these being unboxed on the spot. No prices yet, but seem to be coming up soon, maybe for christmas. They also were setting up their christmas stands, which included a few good things too, didn't take pictures though.

The radio seems to be the model that was announced earlier this summer, however they seemed to add a charger to the model and expand it to have two speakers. I have the older model and I like it, I have dropped it and took it to the beach getting a lot of sand everywhere, and it held up. However its antenna tip broke off, when a friend pulled up with all his strength. I think I will buy the new radio when it comes out. The power tool kit actually looks useful for the average homeowner.

I might get a radio, only if they made it look better. :dunno:

I am going to have to grab a another lithium ion battery this year definitely.

how many batteries does it take to power the heater? ;)

I already have most the tools. I just need a good deal on the lithium batteries (they need a 2 for 1 deal like Ryobi had). I have a few of the older batteries but they are junk. I only have 1 smaller lithium but it isn't enough to keep using the tools.

I just picked up one of the last C3 auto hammers that was left in the country (released last year), it works fantastically well and it's too bad they're discontinuing them. Used it to tack some wiring in along joists in the basement last week

I could see the stereo replacing my charger on the workbench, and being a charger and bluetooth speaker at the same time (if that's how it actually works)

still hoping they bring the caulk gun and chemical sprayer back. or if someone here has one sitting around let me know =)

I remember the heater from last year's Black Friday.

I think the radio and LED worklight will be the only new C3 items you can't already get right now.

You can find the chemical sprayer on Ebay , I only see the caulk gun once in a blue moon, Had to pay $200 for mine!

I am looking for the paint sprayer, I will then have everything :)

I wish they would make a fan like the new ryobi one that can also plug into the wall

I hope this means there's a ridgid or ryobi jobsite radio with bluetooth on the horizon. The only other one I've seen is the super expensive milwaukee.

the 6 piece set at full price is $299, should have descent sales prices though, or as always coupons

I also saw in one of the Christmas stands near me a 1/2" air impact for $26. I have no idea how they can make one for that price but it did have a COO of China.

If it's the full silver body one, they're junk. I got one as a gift & just gave it away to a guy on CL who advertises as wanting dead or broken tools.

I just noticed the bluetooth boombox/c3 battery charger mounts on versatrack (which means it should also mount on gearwall)

This thing was like freakin designed for me

Definitely want the boombox, but $130 is a steep price for the damn thing. I say this, bc it does not look that durable.

I don't know how durable it looks, But I would guess this thing will go on sale since all there C3 merchandise does at some point.

So...I got mine...It doesn't work! If you put your ear up to the speaker, with the volume set to max, you can just BARELY hear the music...So, I guess something is wrong with the amp circuit...Wow...I really wanted to like this...

The reason I got this is because my other smaller C3 radio quit working...Shame on me, I guess...
