Of the 20% off Sale at the BORGs? I myself picked up the PC 557, Dewalt 400 Grinder, and Rigid Sander. Saved about $160 with Sale, 20% Off and PC Rebate.

Yeah, even though I bought several items at Woodcraft a couple of days ago, I picked up a new Delta jointer and planer this morning at Lowes. I'm going to hate myself when the credit card bill comes in.
My garage sure is getting full.
Ridgid cordless drill. 20% off and free batteries for life. Merry Christmas to me.
Bought my grandson a cordless drill as he is old enough to have his own tools.
I went there just after leaving Coastal Tools where I got a few Christmas gifts. Things the borgs does not sell. Ed snipped-for-privacy@snet.net
Next time you are over at Coastal Tools with SWMBO stop in at the Korean Market next door in the Raymour & Flanagan Plaza. The market its called AppleTree. They have the best Fresh Fish and Vegtables around and they are very inexpensive. SWMBO will love it and will want to go back and that will give you an opportunity to go into Coastal Tools.

No Borg around here. Maybe that will keep my January credit card bill low.
I passed.
I don't really need anything right now that the BORGs carry.

They may have a Merry Christmas, but you'll have the Happy New Year!
But I must confess, I gave in to temptation as well - Lowes got a chunk of my savings this year...

You didn't go for the Harbor Freight grandson list?
I think this is the second time I've been in the same store as you on the same day, in a year, and one of us posted about it. We missed each other at Woodcraft a few months back. I went to Coastal for a PC nailer / compressor combo, but forgot my checkbook!

I got the dewalt benchtop tablesaw.

Thanks, another reason to make the trip.
It is also close to New Britain with some good Polish foods. Ed
I got the PC557. Normally, for a tool such as this, I would go across the street to Coastal (their regular price is a couple of bucks cheaper than the Borg). But between the 20% off and an existing gift card, resistance was futile.

Picked up the Ridgid belt/spindle sander, Ryobi scroll saw, Porter Cable R/O sander, and a Ryobi Biscuit Joiner. Good thing the shop is heated. Looks like I may be sleeping there for a while til SWMBO calms down. :-)

We've got to get together some time. There are at least a half dozen wreckers here from CT.
Coastal Tools is my new favorite tool place. Only quality brands, very good prices, and reasonably local. They beat Home Depot prices on some of the tools they both carry. Ed snipped-for-privacy@snet.net
Picked up the Delta 6 in Jointer today with the 20% off. I got the small benchtop one, figured after getting the Jet contractor saw, Dewalt planer in the last month I better go easy with SWMBO.
I got a Makita R/O sander and a Delta variable speed grinder at Lowes.
I saved about $35. Not bad.

Paul thus spake:
I hear ya - Could be the same chilly circumstance here if what I got for her doesn't please adequately....

Hate to say it Mike, but you may want to make sure you can return that if you decide you want to. Those little jointers are great for jointing the odd small (less than 3 feet) board but they have a universal motor (louder than heck), they cut curves in stock longer than 3' (and no, you can not adjust that "feature" out) and when it comes time to have the blades sharpened, you have to send the whole cutterhead into a repair center and have the screws removed for you (they lock-tite them in and there is no way you're getting them out on your own). They may seem like a great deal when they sit on the store shelf but one of the best things I ever did is take mine back and bought a used "real" jointer for about the same $$$
Good luck Rob
A 3/8 drill and a circular saw, both Milwaukee.
