I love outlet malls!

I know, your thinking, WHAT!?  did something happen to this blog about all things cool?  NOPE, still the same blog, just a bit of a twist to this post.

A few months ago we were in TN on vacation and there is a outlet mall there.  In this outlet mall is a store called Direct Tools  (ahh,  the light is starting to come on isnt it)  This store carries reconditioned tools and overstocks for a couple of different manufacturers.  Well there were a couple of things I saw that I wanted, but we did not have the room in the bags to fly them home, and it wasnt enough of a good deal to pay for shipping them home, so I walked away.

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, D and I were making a road trip.  We passed a outlet mall and decided to stop to stretch our legs.  As I was pulling into the parking lot I see on the sign there is a Direct Tools store in there.

We go there and not only do they have the tools I was looking for, but I get an extra 25% off the price (which I already thought was a good price)

So here we go


THE SCORE!


First piece is a Fuego 5" Fiber Cement saw.  It has a fan built into it along with a dust collection hose.  There is a soft top that goes on a standard 5 gallon bucket that the hose connects to which helps with easy disposal also.  Its made for cutting fiber cement, but obviously with the right blade can cut anything, AND with built in dust collection!

Next is a Fuego hand hels recip saw.   Its a variable speed, 1/2 stroke one handed recip saw.  You can never have too many saws!

Fuego R3030 one handed recip saw


and to top it all off, a nice ridgid bag for $10!


Wish there was a direct tools near us,  of course I am sure my wife probably is glad there isnt!
