            That first one isn't bad, especially I think I get free shipping.

             

            Hey Andy, did you check out the price on a 10 pack of Marothon 71/4 blades?  10 for 9.95!!!

  3. BilljustBill | Mar 06, 2009 07:20am | #8

    Thanks for the heads-up...  But think about what these bargains are....refurbished tools, mostly...plus as I understood it, they only offer a 1 yr warranty, not the lifetime warranty that helps make some tools a good deal "In the long run".

    Another observation of Ridgid and Hatachi....

    Two crews came when the house and shed were reshingled after last year's April 17th golf ball hail storm.  Using the twin tank compressors with gas engines, I'll tell ya, the Ridgid was loud, noisy and rattley loud, and hard to start...  The Hatachi compressor that looked like it had about the same wear-and-tear, was quieter, smoother running, and no problem to get started...  Kinda reminded me of the difference between Sears and DeWalt 18v drills!!!

      yeh...I know...especially after looking in Amazon where the prices were nodifferent.No great sale unless there was something you don't use all that often.

      I always thought of Craftsman tools as disposables lthey were so cheap..like some of their sanders etc etc....turned out they actually did last for quite a while....back when anyway.
