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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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