Thanks for the heads up Daniel. I went today and picked up some deals at clearance type prices (or low Craigslist prices) on some things. Several combo sets of cordless Ryobi One+ 18V stuff - mostly to get access to cordless circular saw, but also sawsall, and multi-tool (oscillating tool). Working on a ladder sometimes means those tools would be much more convenient in cordless versions. Routine usage I expect to used corded versions primarily. If I wear these out I will buy better ones, but really expect just occasional use (except the impact driver - which I use all the time).
Deals included:
- a 1 gallon compressor (cordless!) for those occasional uses of a few pieces of trim $15 - only display of that one there when I left. I expect that will chew up a battery quickly.
- 6 piece combo kit with small circ saw, drill, impact driver, light and oscillating saw with 2 batts and charger for $60. They had s a few of these packages left.
- hammer drill and jigsaw with 2 batts and charger $35 (can't buy 2 batts for that price). Don't rush there to pick that deal up, as I bought the display model.
and some other accessories. They had corded hammer drills for about $15.(shown on the web).
Store there is almost exclusively Ryobi, with about 15% Ridgid stuff.
It was worth my trip today - maybe this rain will stop sometime this week? I can't keep shopping!
