There's some good deals this week. Canadian Tire has the 2-pack Dewalt DW272 screwguns on sale for $129.99. This is DeWalt's top of the line gun that just a few years ago was selling for about $170 each. Also on sale are selected Stanley hand tools and Wiss snips at 25% off and selected safety products at 35% off. Among the Stanley tools are Fat Max tapes and levels and among the safety product are TommyCo knee pads. Winter workwear is on too, including a 5-in-1 duck jacket, overalls and balaclavas at 25% off, some winter work gloves at 50% off and ski-doo style work boots for $20 off at $69.99.
Home Hardware has a flyer full of tools this week. Items that might be of interest are Makita 1/2" mixing drills for $134.97 and Dremel engravers for $19.47. If you don't have an engraver you should and this is a good one. The $20 cost will pay itself back over and over again just in guys returning your hand tools that you have dropped and may save you big money from theft. I once noticed a Hilti rotary hammer in one of the local pawn shops that was engraved by a local contractor. I let the contractor know it was there and they went right down and found it as well as several items that had all been stolen at a break-in on one of their projects. Unfortunately, they were not all engraved and so the police could only recover the ones that they could prove ownership to. The moral of the story is to engrave all your tools and keep a list of all your power tools and their serial numbers. I keep track of all my power tools using an inventory template that came on my computer. It keeps a running total of the value as well as where I purchased it etc. and if the worst case happened I'll have all the information for my insurance company. Just in case of fire or that they steal my computer too, I keep a copy in my online email account.
The November flyers are up online for KMS Tools and House of Tools now. If you have been thinking about a Stabila level there are several on at House of Tools including a 3 piece magnetic set with the 2', 4' and the torpedo level.
