....even if it's a GMC Miter Saw and a Tradesman Brad Nailer.

Our local Lowe's here seems to be on a GMC/Tradesman-Rexon purge. The 10"
GMC Compound Miter Saw 'Redeye' was $19.75. Likely pure junk for fine
work, but I knew of a coworker trying to finish his whole basement with a
circular saw. So I grabbed one for him. Heck, even if it Harbor-Freight-
Explodes after a month, it'll have saved him some pain.

The 1 1/4" "Magnesium" Tradesman 18g Brad Nailer was $17. Grabbed that for
myself, as my venerable HF 46309 $19.99 18g nailer had finally started
jamming after several years of (light but) reliable use.


I popped in another Lowes a dozen or so miles away and their stuff was not
on a Fire Sale, so I have no idea if this is local, regional or national.

One can only hope that Lowes has seen the light and will pull their house-
brand stuff from the shelves and reload the good stuff, I guess.

For twenty bucks, it has to be OK for whacking the ends off 2 x 4s. Did it
come with a blade? Even that has to be $5 for one that is going to get
ruined on some rough work.

Yep - 40T carbide.
I'm sure just like a WWII...

They appear to have come to their senses on these terrible
tool choices. Our local store is purging all that crap as
we speak.

The brad nailers might be a good deal. A CMS for $19 is
probably about what it's worth.

Heck, yeah, for $20 I'd buy one just to lend out to people or to keep
in the garage, etc. I wouldn't try to install crown moulding or
anything, but that's a good deal.
