Another tool gloat

[jonmulzer]

Just picked up a JDP-14M benchtop drill press for the princely sum of $20! A fellow at work (who is kind of an ass so I don't feel bad about this at all....) told me he had a benchtop drill press in the garage that he wanted to get rid of and he knew I was always on the lookout for tools so I ran over after work expecting a Task Force or 8" Delta and when I saw what he had I could hardly contain my excitement. I offered him $20 and loaded it up. The only thing wrong with it is a little rust, missing the chuck key and the hinges on the upper door are busted. It runs like a charm though. The light even works! I knew this drill press was worth way more than I paid but then I just looked it up and I got a screaming deal!!

After the $50 dust collector, $50 radial arm saw, $50 BT3000 with an unopened accessory kit and whatever else it was last year now I just need a $30 jointer and a $20 planer and I am set!!!

Go ahead and call me names Mr. Franke.

Dude -- you're making me ill. You're freakishly lucky... How do you know you're not an alien or something? You're going to outfit your entire shop for for less than the cost of a single tool!

... I'm going to go start drinking now...

Well, if no one else is gonna say it...

YOU SUCK!!

Nice nab.

[poolhound]

Great catch Jon, we havent had any good gloats for a while so its good to see that they still exist.

[herb fellows]

I guess the 'ass' didn't tell you about the short that sends a few volts your way. Go ahead, plug it in....

You know it's illegal to use a gun to get deals like these...

I get fair deals, $75.00 floor DP, $200.00 loaded BT, free planer (B-day present from LOML), Gratis HEPA filter for shop vac on $39.00 sale sort of thing, but THIS is just out there....

I am left now needing only a jointer, lathe, and full size DC... (Not counting bits, blades, small goodies, and materials, lots of lots of materials...) I could kick myself for missing a deal on a 1950 something Rockwell jointer for $50.00 a couple of months ago... You sir, find the deals, and get to them in time. You must be retired...

man, you are lucky! like alex said, "you're going to outfit your entire shop for for less than the cost of a single tool!"

when i bought my saw, thickness planer and jointer, i didnt even know about craigslist! so i kick myself every time i think of what i paid for the tools at HD!!

[SARGE..g-47]

Right place.. right time.. right guy to ask...

[jonmulzer]

Well, I held off on replies for a bit since I wanted to leave my post count at 666. Time to spoil that I guess.

Now if I only had time to use them!! I have been super busy the last year and have only had time to build some benches for my work areas and a wine rack. And it does not look like it is going to let up anytime soon, especially if I purchase the business I am looking at..... Then I will be lucky to have time to sleep I think.

I guess the 'ass' didn't tell you about the short that sends a few volts your way. Go ahead, plug it in....

For this sort of price, I can find the time to break out the multimeter and find the problem! I only say that because it is wired for 110 right now. If it were 220 I might be more leery. lol Fortunately I know this is not the case because he fired it up for me before I left his place.

How can you not feel guilty about that? Nice find.

Ed

If you knew the guy, you would not feel guilty either.

Suckus maximus...

That means a lot coming from you UC!! I appreciate the compliment or resent the remark, depending on which way you were going with that.

No gun. With the arsenal I have around here though, it is a possibility though. Do you want to know my secret? My Blackberry has made it possible for lots of them. I compulsively check craigslist on it. My girlfriend thinks it is disturbing, lol. But for this one, I heard a guy talking at work how he had to clean out the garage and get rid of a bunch of his gf's ex-husband's stuff. So I asked, "Any tools in there?" And voila!

And no, I am not retired. Just 29 years old, it is a bit early for me to retire.

Right place.. right time.. right guy to ask...

Exactly! I seem to run on to those a lot. It also helps that I work construction where a lot of guys buy tools, use them a few times and then later need money. If you are the guy that has the money, you are the one that gets the deal!
