WOOHOO! Just won a NEW Makita 9227C on ebay for...

Mosca · 10-16-05, 04:06

$122.50 plus $15 shipping!

I figured that the weight of the Makita was about a pound more than the Metabo, but still two pounds less than the DeWalt or the Milwaukee, and about the same as the Hitachi. The extra pound wasn't worth $100. The Makita is a really well regarded tool, and the Hitachi is a relative newcomer, so for the same price I got the Makita.

Wow, I would have bought the Makita for that price instead of the Hitatchi.

LOL!

I didn't think I was going to win it, actually. I had my max bid set to $141.08. It looks like he's got a few of them and is putting them out there one at a time.

I tell you what, if someone needed the pads too and wanted the carrying bag, there's a "Buy it Now" of the kit fot $159 + $13 shipping; that's a deal, too.

I could have bought the makita for the price of the hitachi but i picked the hitachi because its lighter and more powerfull

still cant go wrong with a makita
