Yeah baby...Welding with the modern plastic coat hangers makes a weak joint.

There's no HF close to me so I haven't gotten a replacement yet. I did pick up a Bauer jigsaw and it's worked just fine (except that the LED laser guide light is always on when plugged in) the few times I have used it so I'll probably pick up the 4x24 Bauer sander too. I did find a local hardware store that sells 4x24 belts in most grits I would use for a reasonable price too.Well I'm in the market for a 4x24 belt sander to do my pool deck.
I had a Craftsman 4x? which I did 3 floors (~400 sq ft total) back about 1986 and a ton of odd jobs since.
Someone let the smoke out
So I was looking at reviews and it seems Makita 9403 is what I need. But the Bauer might be a runner up at <1/2 the price.
I liked the Craftsman, I taped about 6 lbs of diving belt weights on the top then could just let it run out along the floor and drag it back. That was when I was more limber.
So @erikjohn67 (or anyone else that has one) do you think this will last well?
I suggest start at clicking 'New Posts' to see what people are talking about currently.Never visited 'Welding Web' but I'll have to have a look see sometime.
That's been going on as long as I've been viewing CL and ebay.<nip>
Has anyone else noticed the number of people selling HF tools on ebay for a lot more than they cost in the store? For example the 4x24 sander costs $109 while it can be had on ebay for $179 for the same Bauer sander.
Same here after moving to the boondocks. "Town" depending on what you are looking for is about equidistant in both directions, give or take about 22 miles. I find myself headed to the one that just opened one of those "Crack Palaces" a few months ago more often than not.I though I had weaned myself off of Harbor Freight but now a new store is coming in and only 6mi from my house!
So then you have probably made the fine distinction by now between "going to town" vs "going to the city". It took us a few months to understand the difference when our new neighbors would mention one or the other some 38 years ago. In your case being, equidistant to two towns, there may be even finer distinctions like up, down or over.Same here after moving to the boondocks.
