Default Home Depot Discount shelf.

Just picked up this Rigid 1/2 Impact for 75 bucks at home depot. still comes w/ a lifetime warranty from rigid. Score one more too for the tool box. Now all I need is a inverter big enough to run it.

Nice! I might have to stop by my local home depot and see if they got anything on discount!

Good find! The only thing I've seen worth a crap was a Ridgid cordless caulking gun for $50, but really didn't have a use for it. I did get a Ridgid dual tank air compressor for $50 one time.

Nice looking gun. I just invested in a nice air compressor so all my tools are air. They have some really nice hand tools now, impacts included, that are battery powered. Those would be really handy on track nights if you're swapping tires and such.

Yeah, I've got air in my garage (hoses at all corners piped form the compressor) but the air don't help on the road. I think this will be nice.


MAC has a nice cordless impact out there that seems to work well. My only concern w/ a cordless is the battery dying when you are changing 16 lugs on a trailer (ie HD axle w/ 8 lugs, 8 off 8 on).

Nice find. I bought my Dewalt 1/2" impact for $175 at Home Depot. It looks exactly like yours but its just says Dewalt. Not really that well balanced in your hand. Really top heavy. But all in all a good tool.

Ya, I picked up a brand new in the box Ryobi metal chop saw for $75 bucks. Normal price in it was $140 They where asking $89 on the clearance table and I offered them $75 and she called her manager and she said SOLD, lol. They will pretty much always deal on clearance table stuff too.
