Found a general-merchandise site with some tools that look like a pretty
good
deal, but I don't recognize the brands -- and some of the brands aren't
mentioned
at all. I would be interested to know if any of you woodworkers might
recognize
any of these, and share your opinions...
1) 2 gal. air compressor. No brand name given. $52

Is 2 gal/4cfm enough for anything useful?
2) Air Brad Nailer by American Tool Group. $26. Don't recognize "American
Tool Group".

Also, they had an air hose for $8 (good price or not?)
3) Benchtop drill press. No brand name given. $40
http://www.suzyqshop.com/product.asp?0=51&1=52&3=1900
I could definitely use a drill press. I hestitate to plunk down $40 for
something
from an unknown manufacturer that might be junk, but I'm still tempted,
because
the local borg's similar-sized DP is about twice the price.
That's about it for their tool selection. They had some hand tools
(screwdriver
sets, drill bits) pretty cheap, but I don't need any cheap screwdrivers
just
now, and I have seen forstner bits cheaper elsewhere. The site is mainly
oriented towards toys, jewelry, and knives.
