I'm looking for a bigger wallet to hold all the money I'm going to save during this years Boxing Sale event.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

I could use a nice deal on an sds rotary hammer, I am going to buy one anyways but buying stuff without it being on sale feels wrong.

What do you think about the bosch 11264EVS?

I bought mine for $170 recently. It is awesome and deadly! Have done over 150 holes by now, some of them 3-1/2" x 8"

Holy crap, where did you find that for $170? I would buy two if I could find them for that cheap.

I bought it off Kijiji. It was advertised as broken.
Tool it apart, replaced the brushes, piston, couple o rings and the switch.

I strongly suggest look on Kijiji for these broken tools. Easy to repair and it works great, probably gonna last me a lifetime as I don't work it as hard as in an industrial setting

I am watching, I would love something like that to show up on kijiji. Those tools are designed to be repaired, who cares if they are broken lol. My current plan is buying new for ~$600, get my job done and sell it for like $300, the money saved by not hiring someone would easily pay for the tool anyways.

Nice score.

I don't know if you have many auctions but here, (alberta especially I find) there are tons of industrial auctions. Sure many of these tools are beat up pretty good but they work or might need a little TLC.
These auctions are usually cheaper than regular auctions as well because not that many people go in and bid. I mean there is competition but just looking at the forums here is a good representative of the population as a whole, not that many people are looking for industrial stuff

Where did you buy parts, and what sort of price were they? I just trashed a Dewalt corded drill because the switch was more expensive than a new one.

I usually buy online if I can save big, but there's a couple local industrial shops here that price aggressively. For the bosch I went to quality tool. It's north west edm. They are just a touch higher than online but local and next day (or 2) and I get parts
