Dangnabit and triple darn

Finally making a decision on the ROS I want (Bosch) , I go to Lowes
and get it for $80.00. Need a new jig saw and decide the Bosch 1587
for $140 bucks was adequate and I would get this later. Go by the
orange Borg at lunch today and there are three guys stacking boxes of
the jigsaw I want to buy combined with the ROS I JUST BOUGHT. Both
together for $140.00. Shit!

Yabbut, he bought 'em at Lowe's, and saw 'em on sale at the Orange Borg
which I assume means Home Despot in his part of the country.

Yes. Worst case is to purchase the tools that are on sale, then return
them, new, with receipt, to the other store. There is usually no way for
them to tell which store a particular tool came from. The UPC's are
universal. Further, you are not sticking anyone with a used tool.

I don't see the problem, to me it looks like your still a sander short, one
sander for 150 grit, one for 220 grit and all you need now is one for 400
grit, but I would suggest a 1/4 sheet sander for that, 400 grit ROS sheets
are hard to find

Take the receipt and the tools back and tell them about the sale price. They
almost always refund your money.

Just do it. You get the same two tools.

Buy the set. If you don't want a second ROS, GIVE one to me. I'll put
you on my Christmas card list. :-)
Happy Holidays!

Borg is real good about returns, how about returning the items you
purchased for a refund, then buy the combo

He's having trouble thinking "outside the box".
Definitely get the set & have 2 sanders like LROD suggests!

Yeah, but it's technically a different product, if I understand the OP -
he bought them seperately, but HD is selling them bundled. Different
SKU, different product, different price.

Nothing wrong with having two sanders. I bought a DeWalt CMS and it came
with a free ROS. I already had one but was not going to turn down another.
One has the course grit, the other a fine grit. Good luck with the new saw.
I need one of those some day also to replace my old B & D. Hmm, can I use
another sander?

Lowe's has a convenient return policy unless you've already made sawdust.

Why don't you buy the set and return the other ROS? Or sell the other
ROS on ebay. Or give the other ROS to one of the kids. Or have two
ROS'; 100 grit on one, 220 on the other--much like multiple routers.

There's no such thing as too many tools.
