I often look at these posts, I wonder about all this 'price' references. Then I wonder to my self, have any of these guys know about pawn shops? You will need to look around and use your head.

Milwaukee corded variable speed Saws All, $34.
Milwaukee hole shooter (1/4 drill) Cordless, battery and charger, $46.
Milwaukee hole shooter (1/4 drill) Cordless, Hammer type, battery and charger, $54.
Milwaukee hole shooter (1/4 drill) Cordless, battery and charger, (yep another), $28.
Black and Decker Scroll saw, $24.
Milwaukee 7 1/4 skill saw, $22.
Power sander, $8.

Often these come with blades and additions, like the 10 inch motorized miter box, $67. Carbide tip 10 inch finish blade with it.

Best time to look is starting now, but, just before Christmas and the moth just after will flood the shops.

Hand tools are so abundant that chisels, screw drivers and hammers a 0ne to several dollars.

The one item that is like hen's teeth are scaffolds, never found a single one.

I do a load of studio photography and I build all manner of things.

And there are loads of 'clearance' items, like two years ago, Milwaukee 4 castor dollies, the castors would have run about $15 for four, but these came built or $8 each. And plastic bins with tops, called 'shoe boxes' at 18 cents a piece. Had to get a buddy with pick up to take the two pallets and I paid him with a 1/4 of a pallet for his trouble.

Big Lots Store sells carbide tip blades in many sizes for between $2 to $8. I have several years supply on nails in the garage. But, no, no wife to ask what I need all this for. I do have women models and a sister who found that the plastic bins marked 'shoe box' with lid the perfect place for their shoes!
