These were around $15 regular price earlier this year. I bought some, loved how they worked, and bought some more months later. Both times they were in the $13 range after rebates. Last week I went to buy a few more and now they are $25 regular price. That's probably what the price should have been all along. The quality of these has been better than any 'shop' light I've purchased in the past 10 years. The pull-chain switch is very smooth, and robust if that makes sense. It reminds me of the old brass switches from the 50's or so. I did use some HF needle nosed pliers to adjust the hanging chains and to shorten the extremely long pull chains (keeping it relevant to this HF thread).

Menards has become out 'go to' box store. Sales people are friendly and know where everything is (huge stores), clean and well lit (they use LED lighting) and I like the 11% off rebate that comes up every few weeks. I see Lowes is copying Menards on that but at Lowes, it takes forever to get the rebate. Menards, you mail it in with the register receipt and in 2 weeks you get the voucher. Only thing I don't care for is their power tools.

So what brand power tools do they carry?

I normally anti up for better name brand power tools anyway.. I believe its worth it, get the best you can afford when it comes to power tools. YMMV

HA! That's pretty funny. The correct price is $299, but I don't think I would buy the HF copy on this to save $80 compared to a respectable brand name.

And I wouldn't buy one of those little table saws.. had one once years ago when its all I could afford, pain in the butt and unstable. But I don't need a "mobile" saw either..
