    Property taxes are "high", but total tax bill is much less than when I lived in other states. Plus property tax is (was-until screwed by the Repubs and Trump) fully deductible on federal return

    Ive watched this video before, so I checked the Husky when I was in HD the other day. The new Husky also has two slides on the lower drawers not one like in this video review. Not sure what else they have changed, but the wood top appeared to be fastened down too.

    Looks like the trailer kits are back.

    Of course they are?$75 more now.

    Pretty much what I expected. Gotta pay for all those replaced tires and wheels.

    I was in the local store, handed the teller chick the tag off the display. Asked if there were any in stock. I was told yes.

    I wasnt buying, just wanted to know if any where available.

    I would like others to do the same check.

    One store is not a chain wide verification.

    As we know, the counter people at HF may not be the most informed.

    Of course.

    I grabbed the $200 12" chop saw 2 days ago. Used my 20% coupon, got it for $160.

    I get an add sent to me today, the thing is now $129. I guess I'm making a trip to HF tomorrow. I hope they will make up the difference. I don't want to have to return the thing and start over. I've already destroyed the box and all the packing.

    I read that Harbor Freight made big improvements with their Vulcan line of welders, so I think you made a smart purchase and would be interested in what you think about it after you have used it for awhile. :thumbsup:

    That welder should come pre stickered with the states it's visited.

    It's better traveled than me.

    They shipped some pliers and the free item from some Los Angeles, I guess the welder wasn't avaiable there.

    I put it together today. I'm setting up my welder tomorrow and test it out on Thursday. So far it looks good for the price.

    Not exactly a tool but I bought a set of the Hardy Cold Weather Mechanics Gloves, they are pretty nice for $12 but cheap enough that if they get too nasty I don't mind throwing them away. For warmer weather I like the regular Hardy Mechanics Gloves, as you can get them for $4/pair.
