Luke, unfortunately just about every table saw made by the big box brands arenвЂ™t meant for stationary shop use and I highly doubt that this ridgid/craftsman nanjing chang is worth a shit. With Sears, theyвЂ™ve given me one too many headaches for me to have any interest in bothering with them anymore. It might require a pickup truck and at least one able-bodied buddy. ItвЂ™s a little more than basic, ($85 vs $55) but IвЂ™ve had some really bad drop-offs of review samples when the basic option was selected for me. If going with the Ridgid model from Home Depot, IвЂ™d pay more for the threshold delivery option. They eventually refunded me the tax, but not before they tried to convince me to accept it back as a вЂњpointsвЂќ refund. Then, they didnвЂ™t refund me all the money.

I got lucky and was able to ask a UPS driver to take it. The reason I wouldnвЂ™t entertain of buying this from Sears is because their customer service was atrocious when I last ordered something and they sent me damaged goods.ДЄfter a huge waste of time, over and over again, they still hadnвЂ™t arranged for UPS pickup. If in your shoes, I would look at the Ridgid also, and decide between the two. WeвЂ™ll have to wait and see what happens, but given what IвЂ™ve seen at Sears these past few years, I wonвЂ™t hold my breath or allow myself to get the least bit excited. But is it any more believable that Sears is putting new effort into the Craftsman brand? It will be very interesting if they are, not to mention incredibly confusing for customers. That discounts the idea that the saw redesign was prompted by Stanley Black & Decker. ( Amazon will be an online retail partner, soon.) When you look at the Where to Buy page, they list Lowes, Ace Hardware, Orchard Supply, Farm & Fleet, and Atwoods as Craftsman retailers. There are, however, many other retooled, refined, and readily available products. The product you searched for is no longer available. If you look at the listing of the older model saw on, now under Stanley Black & Decker control, it says: This could be a meaningful development, but if so, it is unclear as to what the new listing signifies.

Looking deeper, there are several other new Craftsman Pro Series tools, aside from their Pro Series Tool Boxes (reviewed here), mainly outdoor power tools and a couple of air tools, but nothing since recent years since Sears sold the brand to Stanley Black & Decker more than a year and a half ago. Neither seems to be very likely, if IвЂ™m being honest.

Or is this new Craftsman Pro Series contractor table saw among the first of a new line of power tools brought to market under Stanley Black & DeckerвЂ™s ownership and guidance?ДЇrankly, without learning more вЂ“ which seems unlikely at the moment вЂ“ I would consider both ideas to be equally improbable. The branding and color scheme has changed.В Why now?Дoes this new listing indicate that there are brands still working with Sears directly вЂ“ and that Sears is actively interested in marketing their own Craftsman tools?

The newly listed saw, model no.В TJZ10/3, seems to have the same specs as the previous 21833 model. Not that I would entertain the idea of buying tools like this from Sears anymore, I find the new addition to the catalog to be very intriguing. Ridgid also offers a similar table saw, for quite some time now. The new saw looks to be their older saw model painted with a new color scheme, and with вЂњPro SeriesвЂќ attached to the now-licensed Craftsman brand name.
