Anyone looking to buy some new toys this season? Are you seeing any great deals that should be passed on?

I just bought my Christmas gift yesterday. I am on the Dewalt 20 volt battery platform so I just bought the Dewalt 7-1/4" sliding miter saw and the DWX 724 stand to go with it. I have alot of trim molding to put up after I stain and finish it all this winter. This saw is so light weight so it will be easy to carry from room to room. It gets great reviews and has all I need for this type miter saw. I bought in Home Depot and was actually surprised they matched Amazon price which was basically $90 cheaper. I think I will skip the wrapping paper.:)

I'm buying me a cordless 21° framing nailer just to have around and not do enough to make up its cost, but I am just tired of using a hammer. I use screws and impact driver 90% of the time, but occasionally I need to drive a few nails. I have a cordless pin nailer and finishing nailer.

I bought a Makita 12" sliding compound miter saw 24 years ago and still use it. It has been a great saw. I do like the newer ones that are a little lighter and have need for less rear space. IF I were to get a new one it would be one of the new Marita's or Bosch or Festool like miter saws that do not need all that rear real estate space to operate. But for now, my 24 year old 12" Makita is doing fine!

John, I bought that DeWalt miter saw about 4-5 years ago and love it. I use it all the time for cutting and trimming pen blanks and other various projects. The light weight does make it very portable compared to larger saws...

That is good to hear David. My brother bought one too. I am going to sell my old Delta 10" nonslider. That thing is a tank. It served me well but these Dewalts get great reviews.

Hank this past summer I was framing some closets and changing walls around and was screwing studs in like I always did. Then one day decided to get a Bostich framing nailer and kick myself for not owning one sooner. I have all air powered nailers. My brother wants to get the Dewalt line of 20 volt battery ones. I can not see myself using those. They misfire and nails do not penetrate if battery is low. The carpenter who did my Kitchen and Bath this past year had that line and I saw those misfits first hand. But he did have the miter saw and that is where I wanted one.
