Makita Reciprocating Saw-in sealed box for more than you can buy it new!

Nice offer, except if you follow the link she provides, it is being sold for $11 less, new, with warranty, or for about the same price with shipping. AND, I don't have to drive all the way out to her house. What a nice lady!

Makita Reciprocating Saw-in sealed box - $80

I bought this for my husband as a birthday gift on Amazon...but somehow I must have added it to my shopping cart twice. As a result, I have an extra still in a sealed box and brand new. Model number BJR182Z

I researched this purchase thoroughly and found this to be a fantastic price. However, please note that this comes as a bare tool---no battery included. This is a handy cordless alternative to a chainsaw for trimming trees and yard/deck projects.

You can buy it from me for the price I paid---you save S&H and I don't have to pay to ship it back! Price is firm---if no one responds this week, I'll just send it back. Nothing funny going on here---I'll even show you my invoice if you are concerned.

Cash and carry only.

Here is a nice little truck to carry your new saw:

A couple loads of green Oak and she'll straighten right out!

I wonder about the pinion bearing being bad??? He say anything about that?

I also watch another list called "FreeCycle" - it's like the "Free" section on Craigs List....

I replied to an ad on FC for a free tire on a rim (I need the rim). I asked them the size of the tire.

They replied: "The diameter of the tire is approximately 23 inches". :hmm3grin2orange:

I'm speculating if you are gassing up a V8 to split your firewood, all your savings on heat are ending up in the gas tank on your splitter.

Looks like a former commercial unit of some kind that someone thought would make a killer splitter. I would far prefer to stand beside my Honda 8hp than a V-8 anytime!

That sure would be fun to bring to the next get together, "my splitter is bigger that yours".

I think that splitter is a good deal just for the parts.I would guess that is a Chevy 327 with ram's horn exhaust manifolds.Always could switch motors down the line and put the v8 in your wood-hauler.

Be honest now! If you had a small block Chevy log splitter, would you ever consider degrading it by swooping out the engine? "My splitter is not only bigger but louder than yours." Those would be some braggin rights!:givebeer:
