Many times in my life it seems shortly after fulfilling my lust for a new tool or other item, the thing then goes on discount.
My most recent experience with this was my search for a pad saw for a specific project. My plan of acquisition on something like this is to plan well ahead in the acquisition department. There have been too many laments here and elsewhere of folks planning on doing a project and the timeline included quick turn around on a tool order. Then something is back ordered and the tool is unavailable and the whole timeline is ruined.
Back up to the point of all this my recent purchase of a pad saw was done after a little "shopping around"on pricing. For what was going on at the time a very nice complete saw was found and purchased at a reasonable price.
Now it seems the market for pad saws has become flooded and the bottom has dropped out. It is enough to tempt me into purchasing another with an ebony handle.
Look close at the ones listed. The blade holding screws should have the same threads. Some look like there is thread damage. There should also be a small piece of metal held in the handle to go between the screws and the blade when holding it in place.
My search term> "pad saw" -carbide -fabric -drywall -flower -miter -oscillating -hacksaw <
There is no affiliation between myself and any current listing of pad saws on ebay. My brother is a regular ebay seller. His current listings may number as high as 1000 auctions and/or 'Buy It Now' listings.
