Makita 18V LXT Brushless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit
$299.00

BEHR Premium Plus Interior Eggshell Enamel Paint, 5 Gallon
$169.00
Coverage is quoted at 250 to 400 sq ft per gallon, and the low end is the honest one over a colour change or bare drywall -- a 5 gallon pail covers about 1,600 sq ft in two coats.
Full details →Who the Makita 18V LXT Brushless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit is for
Buy it if: Trades wanting brushless tools and a charger fast enough to run on two batteries.

Who the BEHR Premium Plus Interior Eggshell Enamel Paint, 5 Gallon is for
