Canadian source for bosch or milwaukee jigsaw


Well, it looks these are the contenders. I will probably lean towards the red
one if I can float it under SWMBO's radar.

Canadian tire lists the Milwaukee and Bosch for about $250.

Does anyone know of a less expensive source for these things in Canada ?

Thanks.


TTYL,
James.

Here's a few I use. When I price tools at Canadian Tire (rarely) , I factor
in the 3% store coupons they offer when calculating price points. Of course,
gas and travelling time has to be calculated too. If Cantire has what you
want then they're everywhere and easy to access which is a plus. Probably
not worth your while looking elsewhere for a power hand tool. The links
below I've retained for when I make big power tool purchases.

I get my Bosch from Reno Depot here in Quebec but I have found that
the Pro Hardware sells for less. Canadian Tire is always more
expensive.

http://www.prohardware.ca/mseason.htm check out their flyer special
on page 2 they have the Bosch 10" CMS for $499 the lowest price i've
seen.

Also for a jig saw I would go for the Bosch.

Try House of Tools if you are out west. I don't like dealing with them, but
their prices are usually cheap.
