Beatup box ='s 15% Discount!

My son and I were on a mission to obtain a twenty five cent washer from the hardware store this evening. While waiting for service I decided to chase my son down the power tool isle, this way he could jog and I could eye some tools Our Ace hardware doesn't carry Porter Cable tools, so I decided to run by Lowes to pick up a flyer and eye my future PC purchase. I remember reading on this forum that someone had gotten an discount @ Lowes for the PC being in a beaten up box. So I'm at the PC display and I look down to my surprise, a single beaten down, mummy taped box! Now, mind you last week there were two brand new perfect boxed units on the shelf At, this point DJ catches the eye of the lady who's working power tools this evening. So I figured I had nothing to loose, and asked about the PC. She takes the box and does an inventory check, to find that its the last one in the stock. I asked if I could get a discount for the beaten up box, she agrees to a 10%, all the while my son is flirting with her and doing things that four year olds do that women find adorable. At this point I'm ready to buy, so I ask her if they sell safety glasses for four year olds. She admits she wasn't sure and directed me to a different isle. I go to check it out, to return to my suprise of an additional five percent discount off my PC. I go to thank her and she replys, no problem your son is soo cute!
Going to have to start bringing DJ with me to Lowes more often

Now has anyone tried the Edge 2000 pads?

Is centering the pad a REAL problem w/the pc?

Today, was a good day, fixed a leak & got a PC

Centering the pad can be tricky, depending on which backing plates and/or pads you are using. My favorite thing about Propel pads is the fact that they are so easy to center...provided you have a Propel backing plate as well. the 5" plate fits right into a 5" slightly recessed area on the back of the pad.

I used to have problems with centering when I used my Meguiars pads and the factory backing plate. I haven't used my meg's pads or factory plate for a while now...

I have the edge 2000 pads and found they are great And i got a great deal from PAC on them also

holland_patrick, did you use the single sided pads before using the excel 2000's? If so how do they compare? I would like more info, haven't had much luck with the search button in dealing with the 2000 pads.

Right now I'm doing a price comparsion between the propel & sonus pads.

Thanks,
