Car boot sale bargain finds
mattinker:
That's just the sort of stop watch you like to mend! You guys have all the luck, worthwhile stuff in car boot sales. Every time I visit my son in the South of England, i insist on going to a Car Boot sale, sometimes I get luck and find a good hammer or two, but never anything like you find up in the North!
regards, Matthew

Well we don't have car boot sales here, but there is Craig's list and I have been finding some good deals lately.
This week I picked up a Craftsman 12" drill press for $100. (Sears sold these for around $300 when he purchased it.) It was new in the box and never put together. The guy got it as a gift and didn't want it. The seller said it was missing one of the handles for the quill but didn't realize that one of the three handles was suppose to be different and was right there in the box. I noticed he was wrong about the handle, but didn't point it out to him as that was why he listed it so cheap.
The drill press is loaded with features and has a Led work light, Laser tracking, a huge table, and the best part is a digital depth gauge!
I also LOVE the different handle for moving the quill up and down. Craftsman stopped making this model a few years ago and the new model has way less features which is a bummer as I would like to pickup a second or third drill and set up gang tooling on them.
Here is a picture of the new toy next to my 9" drill press.
