Well for $100 sounds like its worth a shot. Thanks guys. The mineral spirits cost about $10 per gallon. You'll need 10 gallons. If you get it at Lowes... lowes keeps boxes of 12 behind the single gallons... these boxes are marked with the same UPC as the single gallons... So... the computer will ring up the box of 12 gallons for $10... or so I've heard... |

I feel less ripped off buying a tool from "Central Machinery" that's made in China than I do when I buy one that's labeled "Dewalt" that's also made in China.
As to quality, it depends on the tool. Most of their hand tools are decent. Unless you're using them professionally, you're not likely to notice a difference. Their power tools are pretty much a crap shoot. I wouldn't depend on them for anything important. |
