[Sadpaul]

Hey,
Don't know if your in the US or not, but this is the cheap one I have
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=38119
They have coupons ever week.  I paid $34 for mine including tax with  
1/2 sale plus another coupon.  New not used.  I
have had it for four years now without any troubles.

Don't forget to check out Craig's list also if you in the US.  There  
are always deals
on their for tools.
