Lots of Deals This Thanksgiving Weekend

by Chris     November 25, 2008    
If you didn't know, because of the holiday weekend, just about every store in the US is having a sale. If you are one of the brave, you might be willing to wake up extra early Friday morning to get the best deals before they are sold out. I am not one of those people, and happen to enjoy the extra hours of sleep. That doesn't mean I won't be out on Saturday trying to snag a deal.


Here are a few places that are having weekend sales.

This is one tool that has had a lot of attention ever since it was announced. It seems people have been waiting for an alternative to the Fein MultiMaster for some time.

ToolCrib has reported that Nail Jack Tools has entered into an agreement to purchase the Vise-Grip factory. Thank God for companies that still see the benefits of keeping factories here in the States. After all, if people don't have work, how can they make money to buy products? I guess some companies don't understand this.

There has been a lot of buzz about Track Saws with both DeWalt, and Makita finally coming out with versions for the USA. But I bet many people don't know that you can turn just about any circular saw into a track saw for a fraction of the cost of a complete track saw package all with a kit from EurekaZone. After all, why should you have to buy another circular saw if you already own one, especially if it's a saw you really like? Who needs Festool when you can make a track saw with your own circular saw?
