I'll post a screen shot when I get home.......

Lowes...sorry, brainfart.

Milford was where i got it. Inventory shows hudson ma and worcester as having 1 ea.

Picked up a centipede xl (k200) for 35.64 instore +tax today. Snagged the only one they had...but I believe other stores are running the same deal.

+ on the MS250 Solid homeowner saw......my stihl dealer has been awesome. I've got a few to choose from in my neck of the woods and the one I went with has been great. Makes sure I'm not under/ over buying for my needs. That I know how to maintain it......plus, Stihl often runs sales...

dewalt, Bosch, Makita, and ridgid all make solid, respectable job site style saws. I've used Makita & Dewalt and have zero complaints as I understand the limitations of this style saw. Whatever you can find the best deal would be my recommendation.....get a decent aftermarket blade and build/...

Hey, so I've been using my FIL Makita Mac 700 for a bunch of projects and it has been awesome. I got the OK from the boss (wife)to get my own compressor so I can stop borrowing....my main question is this.... I'm tempted to just get my own Mac 700 and call it a day as I know it meets my needs...

Not nearly as patriotic as yesterday's all USA bonanza....last of my recent orders arrived today. Gearwrench Master Metric reversible set, Gearwrench SAE set, and some fill in the holes deep gearwrench metric sockets in 3/8"; 16, 18, 20, 22, 24mm Picked up the SAE gearwrench set at Advanced...

If you don't know a young, deserving recipient....contact your local trade school......or if you have a local maker space.....all good, deserving places for tools to land.

Received one yesterday from Amazon, 88t...

I recently was in the same boat as the OP....had some Cman raised panels (mix of old USA and newer China COO) and broke one (box end) on what I thought was going to be a simple project..... decided it was time to upgrade the tools.... Picked up the Wright #952 set and will get Wright's in SAE...

I've used Husky (rebadged Apex), CDI Digital, Snap-on Tech Angle, Cman, Syntace, and Park....All seemed to work fine and needed the occasional recalibration (or batteries), some more so than others.... I'm buying for the house Husky and CDI digi......
