| Not gun related, but pretty sweet nonetheless. After doing a little reading on it I went to Home Depot to pick up one of the Porter-Cable framing nailers they had listed at $119 (marked down from $199). Apparently yesterday was the last day they were doing it and it was back up to $199 today...but since there were two displays, they missed the price on one. So, still got it for $127 with tax. And grabbed the last Ryobi 18V drill with battery and charger @$30. At that price I can't resist getting a backup! An 18V battery alone is like 30 bucks! Needless to say I am moderately stoked. |

Quoted:
Are you going to get $119 worth of use out of a framing nailer? I love tools but I always think about things like that when I get the urge to buy them. Undoubtedly. I'm a handyman, and I'm starting to look at the future, taking larger jobs and growing a business. Renting a framing nailer is like 40 bucks a day - two small decks and this thing will have more than earned its keep. I have never bought a tool simply because I have thought "Ooo shiny". I've only bought tools in response to the necessities of jobs that I was in the middle of. Now I'm starting too look at what tools will expand my capabilities and speed up my work, allowing me to earn more. |
