What to get with HD $100 gift card

I’d go for the new capability. That’s the entry level Freud dado set …I think HD carries the Diablo DD208 version, same as their SD208, or possibly a get new Ridgid Titanium saw blade or two if you don’t have a decent blade. Better yet…get both!

well, I’d get the ridgid oscilating sander… you’re going to have to borrow some money from your wife as it’s $200.

Go for the 2 hole Kreg jig! It is the nuts for making frames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- Jim Jakosh.....Practical Wood Products...........Learn something new every day!!

$100 free money to spend…...... you need to think this through. The dado set or the Kreg jig sounds nice, but think about all the other things you could stock up on….... sandpaper, glue, clamps…...... etc. Either way, I’m sure you’ll make the best decision for yourself. If any of us LJs offer suguestions, we’re actually telling you what “we” would spend the money on, if we had it. Good luck.

I like the idea of filling a gap in what you don’t have by getting a dado blade set. I had the Freud Diablo set and found it satisfactory. Take a 10% off coupon with you!

-- some day I hope to have enough clamps to need a clamp cart!

I want to know what cable company you subscribe to because mine sure doesn’t give away $100.00 gift cards; especially to HD, and I need a new angle grinder…Dang It!!!!

-- Joe Truehart - The Craftsmans Woodshop

I like the idea of getting the sander… i’ve been eyeballing that thing for months, and it gets excellent reviews.

My vote… new capabilities, make life in your shop a little easier with a new toy. My wife hates it when I say toys, but man toys (tools) are what we look forward to after you turn 50. LOL…. Good luck…...

You can never have too many clamps!

I am leaning tward the dado blade right now, new capabilites dose make the most sense when I think about it. The sander is a great idea and is high on my list but I am looking to buy that reconditioned as I have done with my Ridgid table saw and planer, and right now I think that the dado blade or pocket hole jig would be most useful as I am planning to build cabinets and a miter saw bench for my shop.

I have all those things they all mentioned so my only suggestion sense I got $75.00 HD card for Christmas is that you could send me your card and you would be free of all those troublesome decisions. LOL

Dudley: the problem is more toys on the toy list than the money covers. LOL

-- Alex

upgrade with clamps n minor things 100$ cant buy nothing lol

I have both and seem to use the kreg jig a lot more. I’ve got the master system with the dust collection and all. It’s pretty slick.
