Rockwell Sonic Crafter sale

Post by Cracker Larry »

I thought I'd pass this on, Lowes is having a sale on the best tool ever invented for fiberglass work. A 73 piece kit that usually retails for $149 is now on sale for 49.99. I'm buying one just to have a spare, plus extra blades. That's a heck of a deal. If you don't have one, now is the time!

Larry stop please .......... I'm trying to control the tool purchase budget! :lol:

Larry's right about just how useful these things are. Been using the very cheap (VERY noisy) Harbor Freight tool for 3 years now. Can't imagine not having one now for so many jobs on boats and around house.

Don't expect to do a lot of heavy sanding with these.....good sander will be much better. Other than that super useful.

.

thanks

A Rockwell aint no Harbor Freight tool :P I've got a similar Ryobi multi-tool that doesn't do anything much except make noise. The Rockwell is an entirely different thing.

Like I said, this aint no Harbor Freight tool :lol: It's the best sander you will will ever find for inside corner sanding. It won't replace a R/O sander for sure, but nothing beats it for sanding corners, except maybe a Fein, for a LOT more money.

Just ordered mine 8) This will be a replacement for the Dremel I bought last year.
Two months after I bought it the power switch started to crap out and then finaly quit ,
so I took it apart and bypassed the switch so it is always on. What a pain in the A## .
It still runs fine but the switch was POS .
Novi 23 finally launched !
