    I just saw a Triton 20V hammer drill/impact driver combo (T20TP01) for $139.99, which seems like an absolute steal- less than half the price of most places. I have never used or even seen this brand in the flesh, but have heard good things about it. Anyone got first hand experience using Triton tools? How does it compare to the Dewalt, Bosch, Milwaukee ... etc?

    At that price how could you go wrong? If it only lasts a year you can just say "oh well" and start looking for another one. That is a throw away price. Go for it.

  2. The new Roku stick for 39 bucks is the highest rated one I have seen. I got one during Christmas and it is great. It works much better than using the smart TV as a streaming device for some reason. I believe you can use more than one on any account. I have Amazon prime video and Netflix here at home. Check out "Goliath" on Amazon if you haven't already. Billy Bob is great.

    So I haven't had much time in the shop so I decided to put up my Bosch MRC23EVSK Fixed/Plunge Router Combo on Craigslist.

    I received a response the same day although I found it to be a little suspicious:

     

    <buyer>

     I viewed the ad . Do you still have it for sale .. Hope it is in good condition  .. How much will you let it go for ?

    Yes, it's still for sale.

    Price is Firm on $200.

    It's a really awesome router and it's in very great condition.

    <buyer>

    ok .. i will be sending a carrier to come for the pick up at your location .. All expense paid by me .. i can only issue a cashier's check and i can wait till the check is being cashed and clears before the carrier would come pick it up at your location .. 
    i hope we can proceed with the payment?

    <me>

    Just to be clear.

    You will be sending a carrier along with a cashiers check?

    If so, I will call the bank of which the cashiers check was issued.

    If all is clear, I will give the carrier the Bosch Router.

    At what date and time may I expect the carrier to arrive?

    <buyer>

    The check will rather be mailed out to your address via USPS ahead of time .. You will deposit it at your bank for clearance so when the money is credited in your account then we may further proceed with the pick up arrangement .. ok

    Email me your details to issue and send the check to your mailing address via courier? 

    Full name that will be written on the check & the full mailing address where it will be sent to?

    Including your mobile phone number ..

    I'm sorry, this is sounding like a scam to me.

    I will not be selling you the router.

     

    Has this happened to any of the crew? Was I being overly suspicious? What are your thoughts, I'd love to hear from the crew

     

    (If any of the crew is interested in buying it, I'll sell it for $160 free shipping. I'll create a formal post in the swap meet section)

     

     

    Definite scam dude. Run from this one and report the guy to Craigs list too

  4. Just a quick note about the DeWalt return policy. I ordered the special HD had where you got a Dewalt hammer drill with charger and two batteries and along with it you got a 108 piece tool set for 149. Pretty good deal. I got it in the mail yesterday and notice the 3/8 ratchet left a small amount of oil where it was stored and it sounded a little funny compared the the 1/4 inch ratchet. So, I called the 800 number told them my story and they took the part number and said they were in stock, took my address and are sending me a new one. Simple as that. Could not say more about how easy it was, very satisfied with how it went down.  I get to keep the other one too. Can't beat that.
