    The funny thing is I have a crap load of HF sockets and I rarely have to replace them. The impacts are really nice!

    Sold another one. And have a verbal commitment on another by the end of the week.

    The deal to trade a 3814 for a pressure washer fell through as the guy said he busted it. :( guess its back to fixing the cheapiE chinese one I got at the house off a coworker for free. It at least takes the cheap verticle pumps available on ebay. The last northern one I had , when the pump went out it was going to cost as much for the pump as the whole thing was new, so it was parted out.

    Ok back to earthquakes.

    Harbor Freight is a good store for those with limited need for expensive tools. I can see spending money on axes and saws, but the other stuff is perfect for Harbor Freight. Here's my $17 foldable workbench and $2 worth of clamps for the Pallet Pete sharpener.

    Dex tell your budy to email Kathy (I think) Cassell the one who your paypal money goestoo. And ask if they have any saws. I have bought one that way...wwasnt even on the site. And it was brand new like the others I have bought.


    By the way just sold another 38 last week.

    My buddy bought one.. He told me they were up yesterday. So I checked it out and it was legit. He gets his tomorrow.

    They were there at 6am this morning as well. Must have sold out from then, till I remembered to post this afternoon.

    Would one of these things make Dad happy? He wants a little gas saw for this and thating. Not sure build quality would discourage him too much, he has been modding a poorly designed sears belt sander for about 3 weeks now.

    they are a lot of bang for the buck. Very good running saw with a little bit of work. Redmax had a real good design with the G450/G5000.

    The problem is there are no more 4518 or the 45cc version just the 38's.

    For the cash I would buy one before a wild thing!!! Even of they cost the same. This is way more saw!!

    There not light for what they are but there not heavy either. I bet the 38cc weighs aboutwhat a poulan wwild thing does.

    These have anti vibe which those poulans dont and they will vibrate your joints to death.
