Good score! The Lowe's here don't have anything much good anymore. I went to one here today (Baton Rouge) and all they had was a couple Victorinox, a bunch of razor knives and some very cheap looking Trappers. The sales guy said that they don't carry Case or Leatherman at all anymore....
Nice score.
Revolvergeek- stay away from their Appalachian Trail branded junk. I decided to try one of their Gerber knock-off's, and the lock and pivot broke after 9 days of ownership, and I carried it for maybe 3 days total. POS- you get what you pay for. I maybe used the knife 12 times- for VERY light stuff.
In my area they sell Sog tools and knives, Several Case models, a number of Gerbers in addition to the Appalachian Trail junk. They have Leatherman's too.

I have bought several of their sog knives.
I just left my local Lowe's store with two Leatherman h502's for the low price of $8.00 each.
What's strange is they had the c305 for $49.95.
From what I could tell they are in the process of eliminating most or all of the quality knives they carry(Leatherman, Vic, SOG, Case) and replacing it with cheap junk.

Interesting. The h502's were "sale priced" at about $34 in the local Lowe's versus $9.20 for the c305. The store is now out of c305s.
Didn't think about it until I came home; but someone may have inadvertently screwed things up in their computer system.
Then again, they often run different items on sale/clearance in different regions of the country.
Wouldn't make much sense to have a big sale on snow shovels and snow blowers in SC even during the winter; when we only have a couple of inches of snow every year.

I caved and bought a Powerlock at Lowe's yesterday. It was full price and they had just gotten in more of them. They didn't have yellow tags on any of their knives or tools, except a few bucks off the 502's and the red cellidor Vic Recruit was a dollar off. I don't think they are going to stop carrying quality tools any time soon.
Maybe the regional sale is like Wal-Mart clearing out guns- maybe the item wasn't profitable in that area.
