Hey folks. Mega deal here on a great router.
On sale at amazon is the Dewalt DW618PK set I love so much. The price? $135.85 SHIPPED!

Top that off with a $40 rebate from dewalt and you have one fine router setup for $95.85.

Now is the time to grab this puppy. Run, don't walk to your PC...

Yep. Saw the deal before dinner, ordered a couple (select pay by check, you have 30 days to pay after that

), made dinner, came back and it was gone.

Some of these deals literally last for minutes.

What are your thoughts on this circular saw?

Dewalt factory reconditioned circular saw, $79

That's a nice lookin saw for a great price.

i missed it...-=(

i added that kit to my wishlist on march 10th...it's been sitting there patiently waiting...-=(

bratwurst · « **Reply #245 on:** May 03, 2007, 10:04:01 pm »

I ordered the circular saw... man that router deal was amazing!

scotthh · « **Reply #246 on:** May 03, 2007, 10:05:21 pm »

I missed it too. I've been watching that puppy, ready to pull the trigger for $150. But missing it when it was at $95, that just adds insult to injury... At least the rebate is good for buying the router from any retailer through the July 31st.

fixedpigs · « **Reply #247 on:** May 03, 2007, 10:11:37 pm »

likewise scott...i was waiting for $150...

this thread can be a fickle mistress...great when you get stuff...so painful when you don't...

Today's Amazon deals... lots of stuff there.

It's back Dewalt DW618PK $152.81 delivered. With the $40 rebate. 112.81 total. I ordered, hopefully fixedpigs, fatfingers and bratwurst are online!

ChadTower · « **Reply #251 on:** May 04, 2007, 09:14:19 pm »

That's amazing. We are some serious high quality router owners now. It's all Nitewalker's fault.

If I get fired for checking Amazon every 5 minutes ALL day, or if my wife leaves me for checking Amazon every 5 minutes last night and tonight, I'm going after Nitewalker. Although with at least three of these kits he's probably well defended. By the way, Nitewalker, what are you going to do with the two additional kits you bought yesterday?

The joy of getting the fickle mistress is much greater than the pain when she abandons you. I guess that's why we keep pursuing her....

My goal is to be like Norm and have one router for each bit.

Seriously I just find it hard to pass up on good deals...
That kit normally sells for $230 or more. At $95 it was a no brainer.

That second drill is great. I have it and love it and may grab another at that price.

scotthh · « **Reply #259 on:** May 04, 2007, 10:24:23 pm »

A number of items previously mentioned in this threat are near, at or better than their previous best price (I noted the original poster and the old price as well as the current price).

The one that started it all when NiteWalker listed it at $49.99:
The GMC ATBR1500 for 51.03.

Columbian 27200 12-Piece Clamp Assortment for $14.30 Bremil $19

Bosch 1591EVSK 6.4 Amp Barrel Grip Jig Saw $150.10 Chris G same price

I have the clamps in my cart. And there was some mysterious "Hand Tools Discount" so the clamps were $11.44 delivered.

For those looking for a quality non-sliding miter at a sweet price...

Hitachi C10FCH 15 Amp 10-Inch Compound Miter saw with Laser - $90.06 + $19 shipping

My credit card sure got a workout tonight!

NiteWalker · « **Reply #261 on:** May 04, 2007, 11:49:56 pm »

Here's another great deal I stumbled across.

This is perfect for those wanting a good cordless drill but not wanting to pay the high prices.
A factory Reconditioned Dewalt 14.4 Volt Cordless drill for $56.65 shipped.

Scroll down to where there's a button that says add both to get a holster free. Make sure to click on add both and use the promo code fholster to get it. That's a killer deal IMHO. 14.4 volt cordless at corded prices. Sweet.

Click the pic for the deal.

Rusty · « **Reply #262 on:** May 05, 2007, 12:30:42 am »

Looks like the prices are heading back up.

Both of the cordless drills and the miter saws have risen back to "regular" prices.

NiteWalker · « **Reply #263 on:** May 05, 2007, 12:53:51 am »

Sure did. Quite an eventful day at amazon though.

Found a couple more after all! Everybody needs a brad nailer, right?!

NiteWalker · « **Reply #265 on:** May 05, 2007, 02:03:38 am »

That first drill is sweet. Good catch. The brad nailer is already back up there ($59.99) and the titebond II is my general purpose glue. I use it for almost all projects. Great deal.

fatfingers · « **Reply #266 on:** May 05, 2007, 10:04:32 am »

*sigh*

Work, swimming lessons, putting kids to bed...

ChadTower · « **Reply #267 on:** May 05, 2007, 05:22:33 pm »

Ordered the clamps, came to $11.44 shipped.

Almost pulled the trigger on the brad nailer but it was up in the high 50s.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #268 on:** May 05, 2007, 09:09:47 pm »

I have a need for a 1/2" drill if anyone finds one.

I have a need for a 1/2" drill if anyone finds one.

here's an idea...

i was able to snag a Porter-Cable 7518 Speedmatic 15 Amp 3-1/4 Horsepower Fixed Base 5-Speed Route for $253.49 shipped...however i don't need it...it's just sitting waiting to be paid for by check(which can always be changed to credit card later)...

i do however need a cheap dewalt DW618PK router kit...

nitewalker got two extra kits...if he & others are doing the same thing as i am...then perhaps we(as a group) could start a trading sub-thread...

the shipping address can easily be changed...so the item could ship from amazon to anywhere...

it could be problematic with rebates though...and it'd have to be a trust-based system since payment would have to be going through a third party...

it's just an idea though...something that would prevent some of us from missing out on stellar deals (eg...like a half inch drill for drew)...

Nice. I've heard a lot of good things about milwaukee magnum drills. Practically indestructible.

Rusty · « **Reply #275 on:** May 06, 2007, 09:47:39 pm »

Yeah, I've never personally owned a Milwaukee drill, but everybody I've ever talked to has told me that they're tanks.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #276 on:** May 06, 2007, 11:03:25 pm »

When I used to work for a rental shop, that's all that we had. My brother-in-law is actually the one who was buying it - guy we did side work with moved and took his drill with him, which was also a Milwaukee. They seem to be THE brand name in 1/2" models as well.

I am pretty sure these were that same clamps I bought at Big Lots about two weeks ago. I got the four sliding clamps for like $10.
