Sort of related to a post in here, but if you are in the Phoenix area, there is a guy who sells Dewalt, Makita, and Milwaukee brand tools, all brand new, for way cheaper than I have seen anywhere else. He has a hook up from a previous career, and gets this stuff by the pallet loads. A lot of it is overstock stuff, some of it is returns that aren't defective. He literally fills his house with these tools. I saw his ad on craigslist, and was like, this is a joke. I brought an extra mag for my M&P, just in case. I go to the address, and it's a house. He opens the door, and as soon as you walk in, power tools and accessories everywhere. He had them all over the inside of the house. It was crazy. I bought my Dewalt 20V drill driver and impact guns, with a battery charger, and 2 3.0 batteries and a tool bag, for $200 from him. I paid for the upgraded batteries from him, as the 3.0's aren't what comes with the set usually. I think the 1.0's are. The 3.0's last longer, and have the button on the back you can press to check the battery life. The batteries alone sell for about $75 a piece, sometimes a little more, brand new. So, this is by far the greatest deal I know of out there. I have abused these more than any other tool I own, and they work exactly the same as the day I bought them.
Sorry, I know it's a little off topic.
As far as black friday goes, I am very rarely excited by black friday deals in reference to tools. Most of the stuff I see, although I would like to have that type of tool, is for Chinese made garbage, and I'd rather not spend my money on that.
does this mean it's time to get the secret santa thread going???
section though. YMMV
Seemed like a winner-winner chicken dinner to me.
