Hi,

I thought that it might be worth mentioning that HD is having a power tool
sale now through May 6. I picked up the 15" Ridgid drill press for $225
before tax.

I do everything I can *not* to buy tools at Home Despot.

Good price! I was in the market for a new DP a few weeks ago, I saw the
current Ridgid DP at the WW show 4 weeks ago, show pricing was 10% off of
$299. You beat the heck out of that.

I do everything I can *not* to buy tools at Home Despot.

Seems a little closed-minded!

I try to support the local merchants as much as possible, but stores
like HD do provide good deals at times. In some areas HD or Lowes are
the only source for variety and selection of good tools and equipment.

Ive always liked Lowes selection of tools much better than HD

Me too!

But, last week HD had a $25 dollar discount to be applied at the cash
register for any power tool costing between $150 (I think) and $250. The
Rigid spindle sander cost $200. This is the one several magazines called the
pick of the litter. I bought one for $175 and I still think that was a good
price. I'm impressed with the machine too, although I have not tried the
belt sanding attachment.
I bought a 14.4 volt Dewalt right angle drill from them for $95 one time. I
couldn't buy two new batteries for that price.

HD usually gets the nod when it comes to power tools, especially with the
Ridgid lifetime warranty. Hand tools are a toss up... The Kobalt series of
hand tools seem to be pretty good tools.

I saw a profile for a lady on a matchmaker site. Her hobbies included:

"Reading and not getting beaten. I spend most of my free time on those two
activities."

WOW, to bad I don't need a drill press (got one, Ridgid BTW).
But went to Lowes a couple of weeks ago and was buying
Dewalt 12" 80 tooth saw blade for Miter saw. At the checkout
there was a display with 2 of the same Dewalt blades for the price
of one...... Did a double take, thought I was seeing things...
but that was not the case. Told the clerk to put the one back
and give me 2.

Batteries on the 10 year old Porter Cable are going again, maybe I need to
stop in and see what they've got.

Harley can't even make a decent bike... Now they're selling tools?

Oh...

Wait...

I see...

Never mind. My brain is someplace else.

(Actually Harley makes some beautiful, but slightly overpriced bikes in my
opinion, but that's neither here nor there I suppose.)
