I ran across this today at a Home Depot in NW Ga while looking for a heat gun to strip paint. These were originally in the mid to upper $70s and can be gotten on the web for between $60 - 80. I didn't consider them at that price, but under $20 was too good to pass up. Only $5 more than a replacement pad. The Wagner PaintEater gets an above average on Amazon and about the same from toolsnob. I don't see the item on Home Depot's website, only the replacement pads, so it may be a nationwide clearance.
