table covering? is that carpet on there that is lightly toasted or something else???
There are a bunch of those on the market. They run from about $20.00 up to hundreds. Wat does a $200.00 one do a $20.00 won't?
My point exactly Frank. I almost bought the fein a year ago but something told me to wait. I got to use the fein at my new job and thats when I mentioned to loml that it would be a handy tool to have. She cut the coupon from harbor freight out of one of my magazines and the rest is history. Walked in to the shop yesterday and there was a package gift wrapped on my workbench. For once I had no clue as to what she had bought for me for the first time.

Possibly last longer. Possibly, but not guaranteed. Harbor Freight has a roller-coaster reputation for hand power tools, but a good reputation for accepting returns if something does go wrong. (Still can be a problem if you live in Tokyo, huh Stu?) And even if you're past the warranty period, you can buy a lot of $20 replacements before you've spent as much as buying the $200 model.
just as well.
What really bums me out.....(am I digressing? So, wats new? ).... is I am at the point in life when I am thinking about what will happen to my 'stuff' when I'm gone. My son will probably just haul everything to the auction house and sell for pennies on the dollar. e.g. Like new DeWalt drill will sell for about $5.00.
