Man, i really want to get an air powered recip. saw. I bet that would come in handy for body work.

They say its about giving. Why not give yourself something?
 
I bought one of those pneumatic saws from Harbor Freight. It fell apart on me about the third time I used it.


I already got my present for myself...2008 Dyna Fat Bob. Just trying to help out the economy and spending my money while it's still worth something.

I've made it a rule not to buy any type of power equipment from Harbor Freight - electric or pneumatic. Buddy had a HF angle grinder literally explode on him - that story did it for me. They're power stuff usually lacks power anyway.

i bought one, and still use it today,, 8 years old, i use it to grind and put 4 in cut off wheels only one problem the screws in the gear head would vibrate loose,, little lock tight fixed that,, i think with everything you will get good and bad,, but also HF does come from a lower quallity,, but if its low enuff priced that it does the job,, u may only use it a few timess if you are a part time builder, i wouldnt recommend it for a full blown shop!! however if some one wanted to buy a present, like a wire welder from there and and a plasma cutter, a brake and bead roller a 80 gallon air compressor,, send it to mee,, i wouldnt complain:eek:
 
I got one of those HF 4" grinders.It was like 18.00.I have used and abused it for 2 years and its still runnin.One of my local shops uses them also.He buys them when they are on sale for 9.00 and gets 10 at a time.He said when they act up he just tosses them.
 
For the price you cant go wrong. We use em in the shop, change the brushes every now and then. If they die then your out 20bucks. Remember those deals they had, buy an X number of cut off discs and get a free grinder. Lets just say the disks last longer than the grinders did.
 
The wife is getting me stuff for my car. I traded my bronco for an oldsmobile aurora, then traded the parents the aurora for a 300zx. So ill probably get myself some tinted windows and gotta paint the hood, and do some minor odd work to it, but nothing major.
 
Yep, Just bought a Drill Doctor for sharpening bits. Gave it to my wife so she can give to me for Christmas. Yep, it's all about giving, all this giving and receiving sure makes me happy.:D Sniper
 
I bet you Colorado guys could probly be a force to wreckin with. Can you imagine how many firearms there are in Colorado? Aaah, gotta love impulse shopping. I was at TSC today. Only went there for a small can of $2 starter fluid, ended up seeing a John Deere toy box next to the counter and left with an $80 tab.

Thing is my kid isnt due till next month, and probably wont need a toy box for a year. Its allready wrapped under the tree.
 
Bought an AR15 the other day because they were on sale, and sold out quick.
Ah, Christmas, you gotta love it.

They had a gun show last weekend at the NM fairgrounds. It was packed wall to wall people and sales were exceptional. Stocking up on things we won't be able to have soon! :mad:

I'll bet NM can match CO guys gun for gun. :D
