Tools !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, lets talk tools. What do you have, what are your favorites, good deals, dream tools, etc?

For good deals my local Home Depot has some nice Ryobi tools on sale:

- 3/8" variable speed drill $40 (very nice and powerful)
- 6 Amp Recipricating Saw $50
- 10" Mitre saw $97
- Little Band saw $97
- Little drill press $97
- 18V Cordless Combo including drill, recipricating saw, circular saw, 2 batteries, charger, and flashlight $170 (picked one of these up today)
- All the 18V tools are available separately with 1 batt. and charger for $90-100. (there's an 18V 8 1/4" miter saw too!)

Lowes and some Home Depots also have some nice delta tools for cheap:

- 10" Miter saw $100
- Little drill press $100

And there's many more.
Let's hear of some you've seen.
