What tools are you going to buy with the tax rebate?

[C Scott McDonald]

Hey Folks,

Assuming your better half gives you the green light, what tools are going to buy with the rebate?

I was thinking about finally taking the Festool plunge and getting a ROS and a Vac for it.

Or I might go on a lumber buying spree. At least the $600 dollars would stay in the US that way.

How about the rest of you?

If I buy any tools with it, they'll be the highest quality available. Seemings how the next several generations will be paying for it the least I can do is buy a tool they'll be able to us too.

[Peter Quinn]

Correction, I don't know how this happened to me! I was trying to show fiscal reserve when my Index finger went crazy and ordered a new JDS cyclone collector! I've spent mine and her's (LOML)! Big trouble...big trouble...

That would be money well spent. I have 3 fulltime employees and was worried about them destroying the festool stuff like they do most everything ut its survived there brutality.

Is the inside A/C-Heat exchanger a power tool? Ours is leaking condensation water. So that is where our's is going. Jim.

[Matt Meiser]

Mines probably going to add additional insulation in our attic. I'd hoped to do it before this heating season but that didn't happen for a variety of reasons. I'll probably buy the pink stuff, so it will be going to a Toledo, OH based company.

[John Shuk]

I'll probably just keep on putting gas in my car with it.

[Dan Owen]

I may buy some General stationary power tools like a 650 table saw. General tools out of Canada seem to increase in price anywhere from 20 to 30 % a year. Beats the stock market and if I wait much longer, I'll never be able to afford one.

[Bryan Hopfensperger]

Wouldn't it make the most sense to buy American-made tools with that tax rebate? You can give your money to whomever you well please, but if a boost in the American economy is the general idea, it would make sense to give it to American companies who care enough to employ American workers. -Don't know, just a thought.

[Scott Donley]

No earned income and no SS, looks like I am out of luck I did pay taxes though

[Steve Mellott]

I'd like to buy either a Jet 1642 220 volt lathe or a 16-32 Performax sander. Either would have to be used, in great condition, and very reasonably priced.

most likely ... a benchtop planer. i should get a dust collector system, but ... i can manage alternatives to dust, but not planing ..

Dewalt 735 and a GPS. The GPS is to help me find wood, so it's a woodworking tool.
