A minor gloat, yes, but not bad for a Saturday afternoon...

I almost drove past the garage sale when I noticed a couple of tools
dressed in my favorite Yellow and Black. One was a DeWalt 12V Drill,
the other was a DeWalt palm sander, complete - sander, case, manual,
punch pad. The drill was pretty beat but the sander was practically
brand new - $15!

That's less than the cost of replacing the torn bag and beat-up base
on my old Makita. Out with the old, in with the "new".
