Another great source for tools (that I "discovered" on this board) is Harobor Freight (www.harborfreight.com). I just ordered a factory reconditioned Bosch Random Orbital Sander for only $39.00 (originally it cost $120). My father has the older model (3283DVS) and we found it indespensable when we built the Georgian Bay a few years ago. At that price I had to buy it so that I could stop borrowing his. Harbor Freight is also a great source for 12" bar clamps (I just bought some for $2.50 each). .... To answer your next question....No I don't k for Harbor Freight.
