There's a premium associated with luxury products that is strictly associated with brand recognition and brand cache.

You can often find smaller brands with comparable quality without having the upcharge for celebrity endorsements, tv commercials, golf tournaments, huge management overhead, pensions, etc.

You can get some good values there and even better ones on the secondary market.

This is especially true for clothing, mattresses, furniture, and similar items. Main drawback is that it requires you to gain a lot of knowledge in those areas so you can discern the gems from the junk.

Not to dash your hopes, but it doesn't look like they sell it any more. It's was called "Jobmax". Amazon still has it available.

However, dedicated tools are much better and don't cost any more. They take up a little more space, but I highly recommend the full-sized kit over the modular kits that all use the same "engine" to run the tools.

There are plenty of major players making quality products in this space (Dewalt, Milwaukee, Ridgid, Bosch, Makita, etc.). Here's an example of a decent kit.

With Black Friday and holiday sales coming up, you can probably score an excellent deal.
