DeWalt cross cut mitre saw and the DeWalt stand to go with it.

Actually wanted a new TIG Welder but the bastards never put that in the sale.

Poppy girl

Well I am now heading out to see what the pre-midday sales have to offer wish me luck lol..

Thought you were going for a Makita? I have a basic 10" DeWalt and I'm very happy with it.

I've heard that a small welder is a very handy tool to have, but I've never used one. I keep telling myself I should take a community college welding course and pick up a Lincoln MIG setup.

USBound

Which one did you buy and how much did you pay for it? I have found that eBay has incredible deals on DeWalt powertools.

Rushman, Home Depot have been offering the DeWalt stand with the saw for months now. Sorry, you did'nt really get a bargain.

Oh and Makita is the way to go with the cross cut duel bevel saws, especially for high end finish work.

Rushman

Couldn't find a Makita at all, let alone on sale.

DW715 saw with a stand for $390 Inc tax

$120 under the regular price was good enough for me.

It's "duAl" and as I said I wanted a Makita but couldnt find one. Im not a carpenter so the Rolls Royce would be wasted on me.

my OH got the Garmin Satnav - saved $150 (he really needed this)

and he also came back with a new AVR Receiver with all the bells and whistles...like we really needed it (NOT)....but he just couldn't pass it by as it was $200...

Poppy girl

NEVER NEVER AGAIN..........

I just got back after 3 hours of the sales, bloody hell the que to pay for anything is incredible, yes I hit the mall after thinking that Modesto was dead I realised as soon as I arrived the entire popultation was inside the mall its self, and I was now the latest culprit.

Nothing exciting.
Fluffy dressing gown x 2, 1 for me 1 for Mum $44 saved.. $46
Victorias Secrets got a battering amount not disclosed lol.
Gottshalks suede jacket with fake fur collar $38 reduced from $120...down side opened a store card, well I have all the rest so thought I might as well get another

Left went to Target and got bits and pieces and as you walk in the door in TARGET stores they have the little $1 items and some are so cool like note pads and smellies, just stocking fillers etc its worth a look.

Thats it and just had a yes TURKEY SANDWICH

mine day was quite boring

I bought a mini air compressor with nail gun from lowes at about 2pm with no crowds...

i find my big porter cable compressor is annoyingly heavy and big to cart around for small jobs

the one i got was reduced from $80 down to $50 which was a bargain in my eyes - its also compatible with my existing nail guns...

lapin_windstar

Ha! So you're the one that beat me to it!

conisby

No sorry, you did get a bargain, the stand retails for $200 ish, and i've only seen it offered with the more expensive models..

conisby

No technically its "dual".

Rushman

I was emphasizing the "A". But atleast we are agreed that you spelled it wrong in the first place.
