The tools cost ~$20. I may have added one of those silly lighted magnifying visors for $7 just to get free shipping.

A replacement A1417 battery is only ~$60 and probably could have replaced it at the same time had I ordered one at the same time.

      But then I'd have to deal with customers who are always unhappy because their toys are broken.
