    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Just got home with this one from FB marketplace - a lady cleaning out her grandfather's garage. $40! Anybody have any guesses on it's weight? Looks like cast iron filled with concrete, and i think it would surely break our bathroom scale. Also - 7" wheels seems less common to come by than 6...

    Lowes 10% off coupon

    Post Office packets are hit or miss. I think the employees take them and sell them on ebay, which if you have a big project coming up and know you'll need it far enough in advance, Ebay isn't a bad way to do it. They expire every few months though, so check that.

    Need a Lowes Coupon

    Home Depot also accepts Lowes coupons, so you can go to lowes, do a self-checkout, and scan your coupon without depositing it. You'll get your discount and be able to keep the coupon.
