I picked this up yesterday during the Boxing Week sale at Canadian Tire! It was $100 off, and only paid $89.99 plus taxes for it! :)

Nice fightman, I hadnt heard of boxing day until this past weekend or I would have thought it had to do with your fighting career.
 
As I was scrolling down, I just saw the top and thought it was a boat motor for sure! Nice drill!
 
It even has a light.

I could not live without my JET drill press. It was a CL find a couple of years ago.

I thought when I was young (17) that Boxing day is when all Canadians put on gloves and had it out with one another. I did a report on it in 11th grade; it is not so much MMA action across the land but actually is a holiday observed, born out of times when wealthy British aristocrats who used to give presents to their servants the day after Christmas beginning in the Victorian Period.
 
Hey Fightman, Happy New Years.

Had I known you where married to a British aristocrat perhaps I should have been addressing you as " Sir Fightman " or are you considered a her servant. J/K LOL

While scrolling, I too thought you bought an outboard motor.

A drill press comes in handy, U can't get much better than brand new & even better at that price.

Best Regards ........ 8sm

Put another tall mark down for thinking it was a boat motor at first. Nice thing about x-mas presents from yourself is that you get exactly what you want :boink:
 
Thanks for the comments guys! After looking at my first post again, I can see how it looked like an outboard motor at first!

Little Ceasar, you know more about Boxing Day than I do! HA HA! Actually, I remember being told that once, but today, Boxing Day is basically our version of Black Friday. Most things are marked down at least 25%, and alot of things even more.

Today, I went out to Princess Auto (our version of Harbour Freight), and picked up a 3.4 HP, 8" Bench Grinder with Articulating Light for $18.00!

I also picked up a chipping hammer, wire brush and a pair of Insulated work gloves for a total of $38.00! (grinder included) :)
 
Sweet deals on both!

My dad has had a brand new Delta drillpress still sealed in the box in his garage for better than 10 years. About a month ago I "borrowed it":naughty: and it looks good on my work bench :D
