    Port-A-Mate yellow stickered at the BORG

    The Portamate Mobile Tool Base, discussed in this thread, has been slashed from the orignal bargain alert price of $29 discussed in the aforementioned thread to $19 at my local BORG.

    They had about 16 of them sitting pretty.

    Thanks for the heads up. I called the local HD and they said they had four in stock. I told him I wanted two and he said he would have someone find them and bring up to customer service.

    I just hope they are there when I get there!

      There $19 @ HD in Atlanta as well. I think this is a better deal than the Herc-u-lift deal last year!

          What part of the store are these usually in? I couldn't find any in Duluth, GA (and none of the 5 employees I asked had any clue either).

            I picked up the last 2 at my local BORG for $19. I've had my eye on them at $29 for quite a while. Last time I checked that had several in stock, but there were only 2 there today @ $19.

                In the tool dept. usually with the saw horses/outfeed supports.

                  If they're not in the tool department, look in the aisle that has saw horses, hand trucks, tool boxes etc.

                    For all of you BT3ers in Columbus, the only store that supposedly has any in the area is Westerville and they have 9 in stock according to their computers. $19/each

                        These mobile bases just became available about 3 months ago, and they're already being closed out. Weird.

                        I bought two when they were $29 and thought they were a good deal then. I just got one more today for $19 to go under the bandsaw I am assembling. It's tempting to go get another "just in case" I ever need one again in the future.

                          They have 9 at the Home Depot at West Oaks Mall in Houston. $19.
                          Too bad they can't find them.

                          None at the 2 Katy HD's either.

                          If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

                            When I first posted about them, they had been brought in with the day after Thanksgiving sales stuff, for the Christmas rush.
                            I am suprised they stayed in the store as long as they have.

                              How do these Portamates compare to the Delta Mobile Bases that Lowes had on clearance months ago?
                              What if there is no tomorrow?....there wasn't one today!
