What is the maximum amount I should pay? $0. Cordless circular saws are useless. If I could only own one circ saw it would definitely have a cord, but I seriously disagree about the cordless saws being useless. Since I've had one, it's saved me lots of time & energy, and there have been many occasions when I brought it out for a quick job that I would have postponed or skipped simply because It would take longer to drag out 100 feet of extension cord than to make a few cuts. Of course, a good hand saw can do much of the same work, but damn if I'm going to rip a few sheets of plywood on the back of a utility trailer with a hand saw... -- No dumb questions, just dumb answers.

Do you know how to check the completed auctions to get a h andle on what
the items are sellig for? I seems the going price is about $16 unless you want one with a laser, they are going for about $21.

The sellers feed back sucks. I wouldn't buy from them. Bidding is at
$7.00!!!! How cheap are you??? Check the price of a new one at Home Depot and bid up to 3/4 the price of a new one including shipping. cm "Cindi" wrote in message ups.com...

"I predict that there will be a glut of cordless
tools on the market in a few years that need new batteries. The batteries aren't cheap either." ???If this were true there would already be a glut. I bought my first cordless drill in 1981. I have owned 8 since, 4 of which are still running. There is little market for tools with dead batteries when you can just buy a new one for a little more than the cost of two batteries. It is a shame that most end up in the dump because we choose to buy another tool instead of new batteries, so guess the glut will be in the dump. I have been buying new batteries for the last four years and the tools are still going strong. I do lust over the new technology though. I use my 18 volt Dewalt circular saw a lot more than my corded saw in my home repair business. "R. Pierce Butler" wrote in message ...

For certain applications, cordless tools are the way to go. Not for me
though. I do have a cordless drill that spends most all of it's time as a screwdriver, my corded ones are used for drilling. When it goes, it will likely get replaced with a corded one too. 99% of everything I do is within reach of an outlet. "R. Pierce Butler" wrote in message ... Maybe you are right.

If I want to put a screw in the wall I will grab it. When I want to put in a few more up to several boxes of screws, I grab the corded Milwakee. If I want precision, I will grab my Skil air drill. When we roughed out the electric in the shop, my son went through two batteries. He then gave up and used the 3/8" Milwaukee. Lighter, faster, and more power. What's not to love? (:) "R.

Cindi,
I'd be more than a little concerned you're trying to buy goods from a seller on Ebay who only scores a 50% satisfaction rate. Rather than look at and ask about maximum prices payable for their goods. I'd be sure to check out comments from previous (prospective) customers before you commit any finance to these folks. Just a precautionary tale from someone who hasn't enjoyed the full benefits of Ebay or their PayPal facilities. My seller decided he'd like the entire content of my bank account and left me high 'n' dry! John Scotland |

I've used it to cut lattice, 2x4's and to very conveniently cut boards to build a built in closet system. Obviously, it won't cut large items and it has limitations, but after receiving it as a gift, I have been very pleasantly surprised at its versatility and convenience. FWIW |
