Money Man downtown has pretty good deals on tools, at least the couple of times I've visited the place. The one on Hwy 17 heading out towards Savannah had a lot more inventory, but a lot more junk as well. A few clean tools though.

I've scored great deals on a mountain bike and a cordless drill. Both were like new and cost about 1/4 of retail. I go in with cash, offer about 60% of what's on the tag. The counter guy talks to the "boss" and they say ok if I cover the sales tax.

I may go there for a miter saw, but Craigslist has also been pretty solid around here. It's nice to have choices.
