    Another Craigslist Deal

    40 bones for a lightly used Porter-Cable sawzall + some brand new blades still in the package.

    Between craigslist and pawn shops I don't see a reason to ever buy a new power tool again.

    What was it lightly used for? Maybe to see if it could stand up to a fall from the top of the Empire State Building?

      Cutting plastic and metal conduit when he remodeled his garage. It is in nice condition. He was selling it because he is moving, doesn't use it much and wanted less stuff to move. There is a flea market near me where 40 bucks will get you one that is on its last legs.
