Electric Screwdriver holds screws, screws you out of $4000

Electric Screwdriver holds screws, screws you out of $4000Here’s an interesting electric screwdriver. It will relieve you of the burden of actually having to hold your screws in your hand. Your laziness will cost you $4000. The Black & Decker LI4000 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion SmartDriver with Exclusive Magnetic Screw Holder has an extended arm with a magnetic tip that holds your screws in place while you screw them in.

Okay, it’s not just laziness, but I know that’s what you were thinking too. It can be a real pain when you drop screws while trying to line up the screwdriver. Especially on a ladder. Now you can screw with just one hand. It has some other features as well, none of which justify the price. An LED light, 6 position clutch, a lithium ion battery that holds it’s charge for 18 months.

Time to come clean. It doesn’t really cost $4000, just an egregious pricing error by Amazon. Or is it? The first review reads:

The current price showing is $3,997.00 so I called Amazon and was told this was the correct price due to Target being out of stock. Target was selling it for $39.99 which I pointed out.

So I asked if this could have been a mistake and the answer was no. If you order it you will pay $3,997.00

With a price like this I should order 2, What a deal!

Damn economy!
