My collection...
Milwaukee - 3/8 drill - the BEST - lifetime warrenty too. - did I say THE BEST ?
Makita circular saw - nice tool - does the job
Bosch jigsaw - kicks ass
Craftsman belt sander - POS
Makita orbital sander - nice tool does the job
Craftsman dremel tool - falling apart as I type exposed to light duty only
As you can see...
I am most impressed with my Milwaukee drill. It was recommended by a guy who used his for weakening tree stumps with a 16" auger bit. Used to run it till the case was too hot to hold, and then let it cool. Still going I might add.
As for De'walt - Makita etc. Look at the warrenty. In my local store the price difference to move up from Dewalt to Milwaukee was only 20-30 bucks, and the warrenty jumps from 90 days or at most a year to life time. Makes no sense to not spend those few extra and jump to the Milwaukee.
I wish they made tablesaws still ......
Oh ya - and I just had to replace the piston in my CH air compressor. Luckily I could get parts, but it should not have gone with the amount of work I make it do.
