Deal or no deal

My first thought was will it do the job you want for $150.
Second was it looked on the cheap side.
For my application it would be no deal.:thumbdn:
 
An regular plug in type with the same make up could be good but I don't believe a cordless model will handle the work load in the shop. Great warranty on their stuff. Frank
 
Great price, but most of us have a garage full of wrong tools we got at the right price. :rolleyes:

Something like this would be way more useful.

Thanks guys, that helped me make up my mind. At first glance, I thought why not but as I looked at it more and read the replies here it clinched the deal. I will trudge along with my jigsaw until I can afford something better. Rob, there is a busy bee right up the road from me but the price is just a little past me right now. Cheers guys. :-)
 
I agree cordless will not have near the power you will need to cut steel. You would be far better off for lesser money to buy a plug in portable bandsaw the same size and using that.

Unfortunetly this is the lowest price I have been able to find, plug in or portable. The busy bee one that Rob posted is 279 on sale and thats the cheapest one so far. No worries, I have made it this long without one, I can wait a little longer.

hmmm a quick edit, I just found this http://www.princessauto.com/shop-ga...al-cutting-equipment/8106783-portable-bandsaw . I realize it is a relative no name brand but it looks somewhat promising.

That looks like a comparable quality to the Harbor Freight one. The HF one sells for a bit less though :( Unfortunate you being in Canada and all.
