All right, we've talked about it long enough so I think it's time we organized ourselves and held a virtual meeting. Here's what I'm proposing; at the end of each week we come to this thread and confess our "sins" for the week. We are a sick lot us "tool buyers" and I think it will help knowing that we aren't alone and there are others like us out there! I'll go first...

Hello, my name is Terry and it's been 12 hours since I bought my last tool. This past week I purchased a used 1/2" Dewalt hammer drill for $55 (it's used so I don't think it should count!) and new tool belt (I really needed it and it was one with the built in back support so I don't think that should count either since it should really be classed as a medical purchase).

Whew, that feels better getting that off my chest. I'll just sit down now and turn the podium over to...

I came across a Rigid coil roofing nailer, no box, manual, just the gun for $70 at HD!!

Brand new, hasn't been fired or had nails in it... Now I just need a reason to buy some coil nails and test it out!

2 bucks!!! I bought like 30. Its perfect for organizing those rediculous category of things- like door stops, allen keys for tools, etc.

But why stop there?

I just used my little Bosch 12v sawzall yesterday for the first time, It really lacks torque, but the size makes it pretty versatile.

Last week I bought a 4' Swanson level at Lowes for $6.79. Original price was $53. I wish I had bought the other one, as we have used it for a wekk and it works very well.

I dont expect alot out of it but the convience to make a small cut here and there or in a crawl space makes up for it. Ive used the milwaukee one and liked it, im sure the bosh ia close

You can call up the stores who have it in stock and see if they will ship it. Its what I did.

But,, if your a red fan, they have one with charger for 99 (HD).

dewalts 3 piece 12v kit(saw impact and drill/driver) 2 batteries and charger for 199 at HD. Note this charger does not do the 20v max.
