No name brand.. Charbroil maybe? 5 burner stainless from HD. Got it for 150 so can't complain!
-
It's odd to me how a lot of the top of the line stuff gets released overseas and takes forever to make its way to the states... Any particular reason?
-
Congrats! Can't wait until the next one!

Delicate plunge cutting, cabinet work, trim, flooring, corner sanding, grout removal, and more recently fixing my measuring error I caught after nailing beadboard backsplash up.

I like the nesting feature. I've always just clamped a thin piece of wood on top if I need to enlarge the hole...

Nice! Two questions for ya:
Have you tried the fuel sawzall? If so, how does it compare to corded?
How would you compare the Makita BL to the other big brands?
(I assume these are your personal tools)
-
Do you have any pictures?
-
That looks like a nice one! What did it set you back?
-
Did you register your saw? You might want to do that if you haven't yet..
-
Pretty decent deal! I'll probably wait though... Usually the last price drop ends in .03
-
This is a good deal just for the blades! I'll have to pick some up...
-
I think Ace sells them too. I'll have to check and see if they have any sales...
-
Ryobi or ridgid. Ryobi might be cheaper but ridgid has a lifetime warranty.

What kind of things would this compressor be able to run?
-
Those flood lights look nice.... I'd love to see a comparison of their new drill/driver..
-
I have a corded dewalt and already wish I had a cordless. I couldn't imagine getting out a compressor for a multi tool...

Do you use the computer and search for specific items or is there are clearance section. How does it work?
Use the price check. Type the brand. Refine results. Click clearance. Click return to results.
In my experience the best deals ended in .03 (or .06). Most had 0 in stock though. The impacts were up in the rafters though.

This guy is gonna give a much nicer cut, probably move a bit faster through the cut and also it will allow you to make a straighter cut..
it's like cutting with a jigsaw vs a 7 1/4 circular saw. The jigsaw will be much harder to follow a straight line because the blade is so short front to back so it allows the saw to wander a bit. Same idea with the prazzi.. with a circular saw, so much of the blade remains in the kerf of the cut that it doesn't allow you to make wavy cuts as easily.
Now with that said... I own a prazzi because I needed it for a specific job where I was cutting a bunch of 4x14 joists. The prazzi was perfect for me.. much cheaper, much smaller and the quality of cut was actually pretty good.. the cut ends of the joists were all hidden anyway
That makes sense. Good analogy with the jigsaw vs circular saw.

I should mention this varies by store so YMMV. I'm going tomorrow to check out all the other local stores. It's still online for full price.

Thanks to Shuutr, I was able to efficiently use the HD terminal. I keep seeing these deals thinking, "this will never happen to me.." But tonight I got lucky!
Saw the 2653-22ct impact driver compact battery kit clearances for $58.03 on the computer. It said they had 3 on hand. Found (with an employee's help) two in the rafters and he said the third must have been a display.
Bought both of them. $229.00 regular on HD and 239 on Amazon.
No signage. Would have never found them without the computer. Thanks Shuutr!

What's the benefit to this saw vs a worm drive with a prazi?
-
Great looking stickers! I'd love the one of each pack!
-
True! No doubt you could sell the "new" bare tools for 60 each and end up with a free charger and 2 batteries...
