At local HD, it seems they are clearing out this item. They had a boxed unit for $125 and the display for $115 (w/o dust bag, etc.). Regular is $139. (tag on box said "slow mover")
I had bought a reg. price unit about a year ago based on reviews and recommendations here. It's made in Germany and presumably a Metabo. It works great. I needed to get some sandpaper (don't recommend HD for that, very expensive), so made a quick run last night. I wanted to try out a 2nd unit to see if they "wobble/vibrate" about the same (somewhere read there can be differences between the same unit). I picked up the $125 unit. Not sure what I'll do with a 2nd sander, but dust collection w/ the shop vac seems exceptional, and all the good reviews prompted me to have a spare onhand or run different grits. I think it will be covered by their current lifetime warranty plan also.
If you are interested in this sander, HD might be clearing these out.
I picked up a 14v drill and 14v impact driver for $139 for both (mod
910 combo) a few weeks back also. Each seperately sells for that price, and they are also covered by that lifetime warranty (includes battery). They are a bit heavy compared to similar brands.What am I missing? Are these great deals? Or have I lost sight of some other facts?
