Good Tool Deals anyone? - Woodworking Talk

Might be a good idea to post any good tool deals with links here when you see em'. A heads up always goes appreciated

Hey...I like just hearin' what tools you bought even if I'm not buying anything myself right then.

Not that it helps now but black friday I scored the Rigid table saw with the stand. Home Depot-$299 plus the cashier threw in a multi tool/knife kinda thing.
I also picked up that day a 17' Gorilla Ladder for $89 with free work platform.
I already have the Little Giant but that sucka is incredably heavy for everyday jobs.

My wife bought me the wheel package for my little giant. They are great. Makes moving the ladder from trailer to location much better.

I have the wheel package and it still takes a damn crane to try and carry it upstairs. Other than that it is as solid as a concrete floor.

I scored my Lil' Giant off Ebay new over a year ago at a great price. Thing is I never should have gotten the large model. I forget how big it is but man is that heavy!! Wheel package? Never heard of that

Thats one of the reasons I scored the 17' Gorilla ladder . Its a whole lot lighter and I'll probably end up using it more than the LG. Actually...I prolly' didn't even need the LG....hmmmm
As a home improvements contractor I have a ton of other ladders and scaffolds but you know how it is when you see a tool
on sale

lol

I have Werner's larger version and it IS heavy to lift and schlepp about. It's also a bit awkward to set up and take down in a confined area like on a small yard or patio. They're good and they're versatile but not intended for long hours of use as a stepladder as the rungs are not very comfortable or foot friendly. My dogs start barking after a couple of hours on it.

Rockler has this for 25% off with free shipping! I have heard this is the greatest device for setting your table saw blade angle. They normally sell for $40. I believe the sale only lasts a day or 2 so hurry!
