I was in HD today and saw that they have a 12-amp, 7.5" Circular Saw for $29.99. I decided to pick one up, and after using it today to cut some panels, it is well worth the money.  |

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but Harbor Freight ( www.harborfreightusa.com) has some pretty outstanding value tools. Especially good if you only plan to use it once or twice. It's best to go to a brick and mortar store, but shipping is usually pretty reasonable from them. If you register with them they'll send you coupons every week (by e-mail) that give up to about 50% off. I've gotten some great tools, some average tools, and some not so great tools. Mostly great and average though. You take your chances, but they're good about returns. |

I picked up a Milwaukee "The Hatchet" Reciprocating saw from Home Depot for $60. It normally goes between $130 to $150, so it is a huge markdown! I know reciprocating saws aren't used much for arcade purposes, but I actually needed it to modify my cab framing and cut through some screws!
Although it doesn't have as much power as reciprocating saws in its price range, it's more compact and has a pivoting handle to get into hard to reach places. It's a very handy tool, just google for more info.

That's pretty similar to the stapler and nailer I got at Home Depot for $80. However, my stapler/nailgun came with the compressor too.  |

I just found an AWESOME webiste thanks to the folks over at woodworkingtalk.com. Reconditionedsales.comThey are a licensed Hitachi and Freud resaler and sell reconditioned tools at a GREAT price. "Reconditioned" just means that the tool was used and returned, a display piece, a piece that was pulled from the assembly line for random testing, or a piece with a defect that was spotted during manufacturng. In order to be re-sold the entire tool needs to be re-examined and any issues at all must be fixed. However, since it is not in the original packaging it can NOT be sold as new. Because of this, you get the equivalent of a brand new tool for FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR below the price of a new one. Earlier this week I picked up a Hitachi C12FCH 12" compound miter saw with laser guide. This thing is GREAT! Retail price is approximately $488.00 new, and I got mine for $201 including shipping. The miter saw is incredibly sturdy and cuts through wood like it's butter. Plus, with the laser guide all my cuts are ultra accurate. I've done a LOT of testing with weird angles and bevels, and they all come out great because of the laser guide and the fine tuning adjustments you can make. In retrospect, I wish I picked up the version that has an LCD display on it which tells you the EXACT miter/bevel you're cutting at since it's only $20 more, but ah well. I'm just happy to have this miter saw after using a POS Harbor Freight saw I bought for $40. |

You messed up your link. Try this: http://www.reconditionedsales.com/(you somehow got an "http:\\" in there, and that's what's messing it up) |

For any Woot.com shoppers, the last two days they've been sometimes selling a Plunge router for, like $30. I keep barely missing out as it sells out super quick. A coworker said that sometimes they re-post items that they had earlier in the day.
I already forgot the brand. I had a yellow color scheme, but definitely wasn't DeWalt. I'm sure it wasn't one of the higher-end routers, but maybe for someone only doing a small project it would be worthwhile.

Anyone ever worked with the Chicago Electric Multi tool http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=65700Harbor freight has them for 40$. I know Festool makes one that's big $$$. Just wondering if the Chicago electric version was worth anything. |

I'm betting that motor is good for about ten total hours.

I picked up one of these Craftsman 10" table saws on Saturday for $99. I'll let you know how she cuts next week. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00921802000P?vName=Tools&keyword=table+sawI know it's probably cheap quality, but it's gotten good reviews and will see light work from me. |
