I would never take one, my reason being to a customer is that you are not getting a similar quality product at HF. Lowes and Menards stuff all the time, HF is where the line is drawn.

Sold a friend of mine who is a granite layer that Ridgid Tri-Stack, it just doesn't hold up very well under frequent use. The only time I saw that Makita compressor is when a guy returned it un-opened as a gift he got for christmas and bought a PC Compressor and new Drill instead stating "he didnt need a compressor that was that expensive."

All Dewalt hand-tools at THD have a lifetime warranty and are supposed to be treated just like a Husky warranty. In fact, Home Depot no longer carries Husky tape measures for this reason as all the Dewalt tape measures are exchangeable in store. That is the company line, your success at each store may be limit as change is slow and most people won't be aware of this.

Unfourtantely not :/ I am moving to Flooring(I've sold three Ridgid wet saws of different sizes already in a week). My last customer I helped at the end of my last shift I sold a Milwaukee Fuel Hammer and Impact Combo(my fifth of the week) with a free Sawzall to a kid whose dad was buying it for him as a gift, was a good one to go out on.

1 Cup everyday to get me going. 1 more cup if I am dragging or I have a weird type of shift at work.

Makita is expanding their Impact Gold line(at least in HD stores). The next thing will be double-sided impact bits(both ends are phillips and both ends will fit in your impact). I just moved to a different department, but one of the last new items I got was a huge box full of new Makita bits.

The sound of an Impact Driver is one of the greatest sounds that can bless a man's ears. IMO of course. Damn it makes me just happy thinking abou it.

Just remember guys, Home Depot and Lowes will ALWAYS have stuff leftover after the holidays. I had the best sell through of any home depot in my area, and I still have a lot of stuff left over.

congrats!

Dewalt stopped making the videos with the German guy and the test on the drills. They were so rigged it was hillarious. "Az you kan zee dat za Milwaukkeee ist not az gut az the Devalt"

We get customers who want us to cut like 3/8 of inch off a board, and they look at you like you have a third eye when you say that you have a minimum of a 3 in. cut. I gladly direct them to a cheap hand planner.

As a person of Yugoslav hertiage I resent that

I know in my department(store) they are moving Generators into the Garden department and filling the space with Automotive. It will be two bays, which is about 16 ft of product.

I don't if you guys like my information, but I tell you guys what I know. The Windshield wipers were brought in for the RTV Antifreeze and Windshield cleaning product season. Word on the street(it is going to happen) is most HDs are gonna be getting a automotive section.

I've seen a lot of the HDs black friday specials on ebay already. The Screwdriver/Impact combo that was $99 is trying to be sold for around $130 I think I saw. I never accept a Harbor Freight Coupon, we accept Lowes and Menards promos without blinking an eye. I would just tell you can not get a similar product at Harbor Freight than you can get at HD, Lowes, or heck in most cases Menards. Yes the regular price is $129.99, most stores did not carry this as a "Core" or regular item, it was brought in just for the gift centers. That was the Screwdriver and Impact, the Drill/Driver and Impact has been holding firm at about $159

Same promo at HD and all Makita dealers until around Dec. 30.

I'll be honest these were dogs in terms of sellers, see them coming to a clearance section near you. Look its already now only twenty bucks lol.

I know I sold a general contractor the Milwaukee corded rotatary hammer for chipping off tile, he said it didn't work well at all. I ended up swapping out the Dewalt Rotatary hammer and he loves it.

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-25-ft-Magnetic-Tape-Measure-48-22-5125/203981000?keyword=48-22-5125#.UqeEaOJNWMM Thats the every day price. Damn didn't see the free bit with it, that aint a bad deal.

Regular Price: $389.00 On Sale For: $229.04LOL, Its not out yet and they already claiming they are selling it almost 150 dollars off. Bet my left kidney this hits HD at about $199

Educated guess between $149.00 to $179.00. Their regular radio sells for $119, so i say it is safe to add 50 bucks at least to the overall price tag for the inclusion of the charger.

Personal opinion, but that radio is fugly and this is coming from a person who thinks the original 12v impact is one the best looking tools ever.

Gaining market share right there.....................although I'm not sure if it is because of this video(lol) people have been buying a lot more Makita stuff lately. It doesn't have the features or bells and whistles that the Dewalt and Milwaukee stuff does, but more and more people seem to be scooping up the makita tools.

COME ON CHASE, what did they announce? :-P

Multiple things could have made it $50 dollars. Was bought a HD that regualarly carries that product and return to one that doesn't(this sometimes brings up clearance SKUs) Or the Tool was an abosolute DOG of a cellar and they are driving to phase it out of that store. I've never seen that Drill in any of my local HDs, so my assumption is someone thought there was a market for it at that store and they were wrong.
