makita 2 1/4 HP variable speed kit: $150

[jwaterdawg]

Heavy duty tools has a Makita 2 1/4 HP plunge/fixed base kit with variable speed for $150 including free shipping, lower than the best price at Amazon. The price displayed on their web page shows as $199.93, but you can use the discount code RF to get $50 off bringing the total to ~$150.

Not that I need another router (yeah, yeah I know) but this seems like a good deal for a variable speed Makita that could be used as a handheld.

I think $150 is a very good deal but the $115 they sold it for last year was a great deal. I think LARRYG has this kit and would be able to advise if this price is worth pulling the trigger or to hold out for something else during a crazy two-hour deal on Amazon.

Hey, I paid $150. It's kewl to think about $115 a year ago but then again, it sure isn't tough news to have this fine Makita 2-fer for $40 "rent" for a whole year. It also arrived in about ten minutes and I'm very VERY happy to have it right now.

You might want to consider the Bosch 1617EVSPKE, its back down to $161. again.
