Trump disagrees. The drama continues.

MarthaWatch™: Waddya Think?
OK, so I checked out some tools on the Amazon site and the first few I looked at did not appear to be any cheaper than normal. However, if you go to the second link provided by everythingandnothing, http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/103-4214104-4490239?node=228013, this takes you to the real "bargains". I bought this combo set in 2002 for $490 and it is now $406 which is a great price.
For a general guide of how to buy power tools go to my long post here:

And as an addendum to the above, although Amazon does not sell many of their products (if at all - they all seem to be refurbished), I will reiterate that Ryobi makes great tools at some of the best prices around.
oops, missed out the link to what I bought

Ah the clawfoot tub loveseat! Just like the one in Holly Golightly's living room in Breakfast at Tiffany's! Love it!
