I got back from HF this morning empty handed after attempting to buy a
horizontal bandsaw. I looked at their website. I got the part number for
the one I wanted. I called, hoping to get a manager, or at least someone
intelligent. I got a cashier who said, "Oh, yes. We have those. They
are
on sale for $149.99 and I have four". I related the story about being
there
earlier today, and being told they didn't carry them. She put me on hold,
came back and said they had four.

Should have bought two in case you smashed one with a sledge hammer like a
long hair'd tatto'd biker builder named Billy,...

Sooooooooooo, I trucked cross town .................. again
.................
and picked one up. Whilst there, I told the intelligent salesgirl to show
the other one where they were so that she could help sell them in the
future
instead of turning customers away. The unintelligent one chirped, "Oh, I
know where they are." I clenched my jaw and waited for them to come out
of
the cavern with my saw. The little male geek put it in the back of the
truck. It is now at home. And I have a couple of extra blades. And it
is
103 outside right now in Las Vegas.

Careful now, you'll be labeled a stanch conservative, corporate loving,
labor hating evil monger who eats babies.

Actually, the guys at the further HF really hustle butt unlike those lazy
bums touring with Homier.

I bought it so I can start sawing at 5 AM without alienating the neighbors
with my obnoxious Makita chop saw. I am looking forward to using it.

I like my $90 parknswap saw, though I will have to make the downswing
modification at some point. Mine didn't come with the cheap stand so I
can't comment.


Sales people ............................... arrrrgghhhhhhh
