Nice find…for me HF tools are great for those jobs that you only do a couple of times a year. Early on I didn’t do a whole lot of concrete work and picked up a small HF combi-hammer for $20 with coupon, laughed all the way to the bank every time I used it. It served me well until the handle started to come apart a couple of years ago and have since replaced it with Bosch’s latest model. Build quality is night and day vs. the Bosch and I love it, but I tell you…When I had the HF combi knowing that I only paid 1/10th the price of everyone else, I was probably just as happy:)

Yeah, if it’s got a cord and only occasional use, i bought a 9″ angle grinder there 8 years back, it burnt up, i bought another one…
I’m glad I did, too, I use it on the occasion, but it’s been good to have.
This first picture had sewage down in there keeping the core bit cool and lubed lol

Do you know offhand if there is tile cutting blades for this saw? Kitchen tile is under my cabinets, the previous owners had a sick sense of humor and put tile over several layers of vinyl flooring, it’s cracking everywhere

Yeah, sewage does do wonders in the cutting department. Never forget the time I sprayed a client while cutting through some 4″ abs with a sawzall. Hey…watch at your own risk:)
