Lowes 200$ gift card

How to spend Lowes 200$ gift card???

So I have 200$ in gift cards from Lowes, trying to decide what to buy.

I was thinking a nice set of drill bits, they have Cle-line bits by Greenfield industries.

Was also thinking a 10" circular saw, but they dont sell them. (Go figure)

What else do you guys think? I have plenty of hand tools, etc.

Supplies? Glue, sandpaper, etc?

Sounds like you got tools covered, I would wait until the next project
and use it for materials or see if you can sell it, that way you can get your 10” circular saw.

there is not much I would buy from Lowes for projects....

Im leaning towards some drill bits, I normally would not splurge for quality ones, or at least what they sell as quality ones.

Why would you want a 10" circular saw?

Are you a pro that cuts 4x in place often ?

I agree, wait, $200 doesn't go far when a project hits.

I've done a couple projects with 6x6 and don't plan any more,but I still want a 16" beam saw. Don't begrudge the man a tool, especially on this site

Ha, I'm as big a tool hound as the next guy, just curious how that item got to the top of his list

I got a really nice Larson storm door from lowes for a bit over 200. Paint, plumbing, yard tools, electrical. Lots of useful stuff.

I would walk around with a carriage and see what pops up

You could buy a nice magnesium skill worm drive circular saw and put a bigfoot kit on it.

I have a bigfoot kit on a bosch worm drive. Really helps when working with 4x4,4x6 and 6x6. It uses a 10.25in blade.

I cut stuff (projects) that have depths over 2" alot.

Plus they are just a cool freaking saw.

what about project supplies? Gloves, masks, breathers, sand paper, wire, etc. The kinda stuff everybody should keep in a shop and when it runs out you always causes project delays.

Im gonna go with the drill index for sure, the rest whatever I find I need. Dont have to use all at once.
