K, I like the one in your picture...it was/is nice...I was trying not to spend anymore than I had too...I got the one below...it was an in store sale for $29.95  (plus I had a 20% coupon on top of that) I like it a lot, it has a hammer setting and a drill setting.  I had to drill a few holes with it...I use a 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 inch bits...drilled a old CMU...the 3rd pic down is a 1/2 inch hole I drilled all the way through the web of the CMU, took about 15 seconds.    I also went over to the corner of the barn and drill a 1/2 hole into the 50 year old concrete floor about 5 inches thick...took about 15 seconds too.  Very happy with it and the price was right.  The main reason I bought it was to drill my holes into the top of the footing for vertical rebar...to pin the first course of block every 3 to 4 feet.

For putting rebar in the footing it will do what I need it to do.  Building is going to cost $$, just trying to be conservative with money where I can be.

very nice!

I too, have purchased from HF.  I got my miter saw, a hitch haul, a bunch of hand tools, a couple of $5 machetes a few of those small LED flashlights there.

ALso, after I paid $600 for my greenhouse on Amazon, I found the same one a year later at HF for $299  UGH!

They also had a larger one for the same price I paid.  Oh, well...Now I know for the future, check HF first.

GK, how long have you had the Greenhouse?  Is it right on the ground or on a deck? How's it holding up?  Would ya buy it again?  

My wife runs to them every time we are in HF.
