So I totally forgot about the Lowes 15% off tool sale and went up there for a can of spray paint. I crusied by the tool area and saw a Delta 1 x 42 sander I have always wanted but never really needed. Well it was on close out from $129 down to $64.50 and I talked them into the 15% off too .

Fantastic snag, Tom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You definitely ROCK!!!!

Silly me. When I saw the subject in your post, I immediately thought "what in the world would Tom need and possibly find in Lowes ToolWorld"??!!

Congrats for being at the right place at the right time!

Re: Lowes 15% got me!

Wow, you did better than I did. I thought I got a steal, but you really took 'em to the cleaners. I snagged the Firestorm disc/ belt sander for $25, but the Delta is definitely the better unit. You suck!

Re: Lowes 15% got me!

Yeah, you suck ! especially since the Hitachi belt/disc sander and the slow speed grinder I bought there on closeout recently were BEFORE the 15% sale and Lowes is a 45 mile trek for me Enjoy it Tom !

Tom,
What a great purchase, I was just telling a friend how handy one of those would be.

Tom
I almost went for that one but went for the 12" disk sander. I wnted the larger disk for truing segments for the rings in my segmented turnings.
Nice haul and YOU SUCK

NO kilt, because Tom was incignito, lest he be seen trolling for tools!

Nice score, Tom! Who says you have to "need" something to get it? Especially when it"s such a great deal!

Yep, You Suck!

Nice snag! I went to Lowes today, the one on Lynn Road at 70 and it was still a $129 there so I didn't buy one.....
