Craftsman Jointer in Chicago Area!
I posted this at the end of the "Craftman 6 1/8 Jointer" thread, but I wanted to also post it more prominently to anyone interested.
Just wanted to let anyone in the Northern Illinois or SE Wisconsin area know that there is one floor model 21706 at the Sears Hardware Store in Schaumburg, IL as of April 25th.
I was told that they had two, but when I went there no one could find it. So, I spent about a half hour trying to get the tools to dissassemble the floor model so it would fit in my car (staff wasn't much help...they didn't even know what a jointer was). I was trying to get the $104 price, but the woman wouldn't budge past the $128 price that came up. She then said there was one in the warehouse. I told her two people looked and she said that she knew how to look it up on the inventory sheet. She was right....it was underneath a couple of floor jacks. After all that effort with the floor model, I bought the one kind of in a box. That leaves the floor model for someone else. She did end up giving me 10% off because there was no box for the one I bought.
The address is:
Sears Appliance & Hardware
301 S. Barrington Road
Schaumburg, IL 60193
847-923-5990
Hope someone in the forum can snag it before it's gone.
Good Luck,
Gary
