I'm looking for a portable 'work bench' , as my HF one is a POS and doesn't store well. Will those platforms function in that manner? E.g., can I clamp a miter saw to it and go, etc.? Or is that not advised, doesn't have the underside for it?

I suppose you could put a miter saw on it, but in reality the platform is only about 20" tall. The description is wrong. It is about perfect height to use as a sitting bench, storage bench, or standing bench. This thing is remarkably stable and sturdy

I snagged up the last 2 platforms at my HD, but the 4' ladders were still marked at $35.

My HD had vent free wall mount 26k reddy heaters marked down to $169. They also had smaller units for about the same price or slightly less. Not sure on the quality of these units, and Im having trouble finding any info on run time, but I hope Im able to just use a gas grill tank.....if not, Ive got until june to return it...and then maybe buy it at an even cheaper price when they put it back on the shelves,lol

This one http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...&langId=-1&keyword=reddy+heater&storeId=10051
Amazon has it listed http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073DP7PK/?tag=atomicindus08-20
They were near the pro desk with all the clearanced fireplace stuff.

Bought one of the $22 platforms from HD (last one at my store). I'm impressed for the price. This should come in handy.

This thread is great! Picked up a $19 from HD today, and got right around to using it on a project. That's one tool I got to use right away.... unlike a few tools purchased where my wife wonders if I'll ever use them.

Wiha always has monthly specials on their web site, so keep an eye on that. Got a split face hammer at a good price.

For PBSwiss the ToolLady distributor has a newsletter with a different special each month. Typically 20% off retail, but you never find anything better on PB Swiss anymore now that Small Parts / Amazon no longer carries them. Barb is the lady who runs it and she told me if I wanted to help pick the monthly special then throw a suggestion out to her. She also said that if I refer anyone they will get a 10% discount on their first order. Just tell her Chris Brown sent you.... (and no I'm not the singer who beats his girl)
I love their ratcheting bit driver!

I wish I'd have seen this earlier... The tag at the closest store showed that price, I spent ten minutes pulling this thread up (and the corresponding link to the HD site,) to show them at the service center, and after all that work, asked the cashier at the lumber register to check the price - she told me without even scanning it.

That store didn't change the tags on the ladder aisle, but had a couple displays up front that I missed with a generic sign on it.

Thought I was going to have to go through a big hassle, but wasn't the case.

*edit* - they were sold out of the platforms at that store, but I still had mine from Lowe's BF deal...

Picked up three of them at Lowes, they did the 15% off competitors price so they were 18.70 each.
Beats the BF deal.

I agree, I think I tried the lower two amounts the other day and they didnt work.

140445 = $20 off $100 Verified working 1 minute ago
140444 = $50 off $250 Verified working 30 seconds ago
140450 = $5 off $15 Verified working 10 seconds ago

Thanks, this seems like a great deal. What's the general GJ consensus on Felo??

I have a set and love them. I dont think I would use them for auto use though, I like them in the wood shop

At that price I might pick up another set.
