Welp! Today I had a bunch of 20% off coupons ready to expired, so I put on my plaid long sleeve shirt, dark glasses and camouflaged cap, went in and bought a nice drill. Then went back to the car, changed shirts, took off the cap and sunglasses, went back in and bought a nice saw. Then went back out, took off the shirt and went back in my tee shirt and a floppy hat and bought a tarp. I still had coupons but ran out of clothes.

$5 says that both tools break within a year.

Tomorrow is the expiration date. I plan to wear bicycle shorts underneath some overalls, a raincoat and a poncho.

I find that trying to buy the tools when on sale is an even better
deal, usually 35-50% off. I toss a single 20-percenter on top for
good measure, and they usually fly. The downside is that I get daily
emails from HFT. I did get the $299 airless paint sprayer for $135
that way, though. And the $299 12" SCMS for $159. And the $229 3hp
(searz) compressor for $143. Everything goes on sale at least once a
year, so I can usually afford to wait. 20% coupons come to me through
3 sources (mags, newspaper, email daily), monthly, so I generally have
one or more to use at any given time.

I buy my hard-daily-use name-brand tools elsewhere, like Amazon and
HD.
