About the only use it's seen is to knock down protruding edges of studs when I'm framing a wall with less than perfectly straight studs. I'm unable to find a use for it in cabinet or furniture making. What power tool do you regret buying/receiving?
Then make me a deal, and I'll take it off your hands, so you don't have the stress anymore. I could definitely use it.
I'd say depends. I thought about it, and I'd say maybe my detail sander. Yes, it works fine, but the projects I'm doing, and any planned on for some time, don't call for it's use. I do have some other tools I'm not using either, but as I do plan on using them in the not too distant future, I don't term them "useless".
I don't regret ANY power tool I've bought, and would never even think of regretting any I was given.
