Buying a PC 7424 locally?

What stores, if any, carry the PC 7424 locally? I have a pretty decent selection of stores around me and would really rather not pay the shipping charges if I don't have to, so can anyone let me know what stores should have it?



**EDIT**

I am also curious as to where I could buy Meguiar's pads for the PC locally, or if they must be ordered as well. Pardon my ignorance, new to this whole perfectionist detailing :).
 
I think Lowes had it but you might want to check the pricing closely .. Places like Coastal Tool had it for $119 including the backing plate. Shipping is only a few $ by FedX ground. Local prices might be a lot higher.
 
For the pads check the yellow pages for autobody/paint supply stores most carry meguiars.

For the PC if you in Canada Canadian tire stocks them I believe.

it may help your cause to mention what state or area you are in...takes a lot of guesswork out of the suggestions.
 
Sorry, i'm in Midlothian, VA just south of Richmond. I'm mainly just looking to find out if I can get it at large chain stores or do I need to try and find some of the smaller specialty stores and call around?
 
I Bought mine from lowes at $109. It didnt have a backing plate. I looked everywhere for the pads and i had no luck, but i am in IL.
 
well, I think as Jess notes, you should try Home Depot and Lowe's. Be aware that they are not always referred to as "7424". It can actually have different P/Ns based upon which market it's being sold to.



My unit, purchased at a woodworking store, is called a (9)7336 since it technically is a sander w/dust collection and other doo-dads for wordworking.



Will you recognize the unit if you see it in a store?....don't get hung up on the "7424" part number thing.



The pads are sort of a specialty item. I don't know if you'd even find them in a body shop supply store in the smaller diameters we seek. I wouldn't waste my time chasing around looking for them...just hook up with one of the fine vendors here at Autopia and order them on-line...you'll end up with what you want and save a bunch of gasoline!
 
The one you find at Lowe's will be the 7336, which already comes with the 6" counterweight, but no velcro backing plate. It's normally priced at $109 + tax. I think you'll find that the coastal tool package is a little cheaper because you won't have to pay tax and you'll get a backing plate already for $126 shipped.



I actually got mine at Lowe's when they were having a 20% off all power tools sale just before Xmas. If they do that again sometime soon, that's definitely the best place to get one.
