I would think by now most here know of the CPO series of online stores.
Seeing Rennies post on his Ryobi tools and mentioning budget i thought i would share some experiences.
I am cheap when it comes to buying tools. And before i do always check out Cpo Bosch, Cpo Milwaukee and Cpo Dewalt etc just about most of the brands,
http://www.cpomilwaukee.com
http://www.cpotools.com
http://www.cpopowertools.com
They have reconditioned and clearance section where if one keeps an eyeout you can pick up power and cordless tools at serious discounts to buying in the orange or blue borgs.
Example getting a Bosch palm sander for in the $30's range or take their deal at present for the Bosch colt palm sander in the $60's range of prices.
These tools all come with good warranties and i have yet to have a bad experience.
I do believe you can have great quality tools for low cost with a bit of letting the fingers tickle the keyboard and doing some online web research.
My experience with HD and Lowes is nothing but overpaying for tools.
Hope this helps stretch the tool budget.
