I know most of us take great pleasure in bashing Home Depot for their
frequent ineptness, and Craftsman for their... well just because :-)

Ocassionally though, Home Depot gets it right. They currently have a
sale going on in SE PA that gives up to a $300 instant rebate on
qualifying tools.

My son and I have been eyeballing their 80 gallon, two stage air
compressor for quite a while now. He likes to turn a wrench, and I like
to make large piles of sawdust, so we thought this would be more than
adequate for our needs. The problem was that I could never justify the
$1079 price tag when my little 6 gallon twin stack did OK most of the
time.

Well, it seems that air compressors were a qualifying item on this
instant rebate program, and this one in particular qualified for the
full $300 rebate. So for $779 this brand new, in the box, compressor
now has a new home. Today's job is wiring it up to a dedicated 220v
circuit!

How PO'ed would I have been if I would have bought it at the full price
:-)
