Went into the city to buy a 7336 today. Decided to hang on ($254 canadian is SO overpriced). However, the styling of the 7336 isn't what I remember and see pictures of. Instead of the one handle grip that you grab on to, it had a grip that went around almost half of the unit. Also, the speed selector wasn't on the back of the unit, it was on top (yay). THe power selected wasn't one that you pushed up/down to select the power but one you push in/out. I checked out the PC homepage and it still has the "old style" 7336.
What gives? | |

The store had the 7428 mislabelled as the 7336. I was so happy too because it looked much nicer than the 7336. *sigh* | |

Lucky it's just the wrong pic. Yup, $254 is way overpriced. Several of us got them when Cdn Tire was selling for $179. I think even regular price there was only $229. But that was for the 7424, so maybe the 7336 is a bit more money?

Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Ottawa, Ontario Posts: 148 | Not sure, but I just ordered the 7336 from Summit Tools for $199. I really don't want to wait, I don't even have the pads yet, but I want to do SOMETHING over my holidays. I'm just gonna try the PC polishing pad, see how that works.... just practicing on my 'rents car anyways  | |

So there is no "new" 7336. | |

Canadian Tire had the PC? I've been all over the city (Van) for the last two months looking for the 7424... know where i can get it? I'm probably looking in the wrong places... | |

Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Vancouver, B.C. Posts: 60 | The definitive answer to finding a PC7424 at Canadian Tire (at least in Vancouver):
Not going to happen.
Thanks for the tips guys, but i've been to several of the stores mentioned and otherwise and i've called to find out which locations would have it, and it's a no go.
(I don't doubt you've seen them in the past but they don't have them anymore).
Here's why:
It's discontinued. Whatever stock they have i'm sure they sold out because the discontinued sale price for it was $49.95!!!!!!! 
crap... wish i found one earlier!! 
As it is, i've got a couple of the customer service people trying to track one down for me, just in case...
If you're lucky and do find one at Canadian Tire, buy it! Hell, buy them ALL and sell me one... 
Thanks neways guys, looks like i'll have to get the 7336 for $180 instead.  | |

I really suggest the 7336 model anyway.... unless you really love that foam pad that comes with the 7424.
