Home Depot is on 23rd st Manhattan btw 5th and 6th ave.

I suggest an Ideal (brand) tool in either 66 or 110, which ever you
need first, and you'll have a quality tool. Get the other bade when
you need it. I see them in HD.

Just a short walk (on a nice day) we have Midtown Electric, a full
service sypply to the electrical trades and friendly to non-pros (ie
me) who make small purchases and ask too many questions. (I'm no
relation, unfortunatly.) (18th st West of 5th Ave)

They have a good selection of tools.

Even on ebay it seems that a Harris 814 tool costs more than $20 and
then there's shipping and you might need a new blade, anyway.
