Let's say hypothetically you had $400 or so in Home Depot gift cards. Would you buy a Dewalt track saw or a Delta spindle sander?

Thanks.

I have a Honda mower too. Paid about $600 two or three years ago. Has the bigger 190cc engine. Self propelled. Not the commercial series. Has the steel deck. Starts on the first or second pull every time. Excellent mower. Only big complaints are it needs a bigger motor. I can easily kill the mower when the grass is tall. And I wish it mowed a wider swath. It would need a bigger engine.


Mine is the HR194. Honda has not made this size in years. It also has
the aluminum deck, 4 HP motor and cuts a 19" swath.
I wish 19" was still available. The 4 HP is plenty even in tall St.
Augustine/Carpet Grass. I have an average sized yard but lots of
obstacles and narrow paths that I need to turn around in.
My son has the OHC lawn mower that he inherited from my dad, IIRC the
HRX217HYA, it is about 12~13 years old. I used it a lot when I mowed my
dad's yard and I was never really impressed by the OHC engine, compared
to the OHV engine on mine.

I think officially I have the Honda HRX217VKA mower. And it only has a 21" deck! Now comes with a 200cc motor, but mine is 190cc. Guess even Honda has learned a little in the last couple years and put a bigger motor in their underpowered mower. And it has a plastic, nylon, polyester deck. Not steel like I thought. Its been 6 months since I last used it.
