Ridgid MSUV at HD for $99

[compgodjds]

I heard the new one will have different sleds or tops. I assume it is used for adding multiple tools for one MSUV.

By the way anyone who is thinking of getting one of these, I consider it one of the best purchases I made. I have a small garage\shop and the msuv makes it so much easier to store and move out when I need it.

I picked one up for my Delta CMS. I must say that it's extremely well-built, and is just a breeze to set up and tear down.

The new one has larger, round rails and appears to be of a beefier construction. It has adjustable sleds so you don't have to drill into the flat plate to mount your saw. It appears to be a little more solid (the display of the new one was rock solid and the original MSUV display rocked a little).

Hope this helps--

I found some picture of the new version.

Very cool looking. I hope it works as good or better than older model.
Did the employees ask why you were taking pictures inside the store? Or was it a camera phone. If they asked you should have said you were an art connoisseur.

Actually I got the pics off the Ridgid forum website.

New MSUV model looks nice. My first two thoughts are:

1.) Is the weight of the new model any different ? The existing model is great, but very heavy if you are moving it up and down stairs.

2.) For those who use the MSUV for multiple tools (saw, planer, etc), I wonder how much an extra set of mounting flanges cost ?

According to the post at the ridgid forum, it says it is 11 lbs. heavier. I find that hard to believe, but I guess the box says 96 lbs.

Mounting Flanges? Not used on the old.

I have one set of bolts I use with the old Delta 12" CMS and another set for the Ridgid Planer. Had to drill new holes for the planer I believe. Remember to look underneath as you plot your new holes.

You could mount each tool to a hunk of wood and then have one set of holes to use to bolt to.

yeah it is heavy, but one round trip with a heavy cart beats a 100 roundtrips with a piece of wood (to get to where the saw is).

have fun and be safe.

Good Deal Gloat

I decided to go to BORG today to see if they had any left.
Found 4 on the shelf marked at $99. Grabbed one and went to check out.

Rang up as $169 + tax. Told the lady it was $99 so she called the manager. I went with him to the shelf, he said OK, went back to the register with me. Told the lady to ring it as $99.

Since the computer still said $169, she had to adjust the price manually. Let's see, $169 - $99 = $70 off.

Nope. She subtracted $99 and rang it up. I pointed out that this was wrong. The manager was still there. He said "That's OK."

So I got it for $70 + tax = $75.78.

Don't ya' just love it when the cashiers can't figure out simple math?

First off I think you might have gotten the NEW version. I think the OLD was $149, and the NEW is $169!!!

When I got my tools this past week they put one on my cart, when it rang up $169 I said wait a minute it's suppose to be $99. They did a double check and found it was the NEW version and at $169 (tool manager didn't even know they had new ones). They found an old one and sold it to me for the $99.

You might want to double check to see if you got the old one or the new one. Oh yea,


You Suck

Mildoc,

That was a great deal. Even if you got the old model (which I have), I'm sure you'll be happy.

I just can't understand how they'll let stuff like that slide in a heartbeat ($30 in your favor - I'm glad you pointed it out), but you ask for a few bucks off a dusty tool on the closeout table that's missing half it's parts and they look at you like the money is coming out of their paycheck.

Good score.

Now a BIG tool gloat!

OMG! You are right! Put it together today, looked at the pic of the new model posted above. It is the new model! And there are 3 more at the local BORG with a shelf sticker that still says $99!

That's what I love to hate about the BORG. Half the time no one knows what they have, what it should sell for, or anything else.

So I got the new-not-on-sale-$169 MSUV for $70 + tax. Gloat!

Go back with the receipt, get the other three, ask for a price match (Same store, they should honor it), resell on Craiglist.

Just a thought.
