Love DeWalt
Hate Craftsman drills - went through 2 of them. -
I am with you on both statements. I bought a few Dewalt tools so far and no regret what so ever. Surprises me as Dewalt is made by Black & Decker and I despise that cheapo brand. As far as Craftsman, I paid the big bucks for their combo package, approximately 1 year, had to replace the chuck on it but found out the chuck was part of the shaft and couldn't be replaced!Love DeWalt

Mark, I read you with Klein, great tools warranty/service. Can you post some pic and details of that Dewalt that can use multi brand batteries? That seem weird to me but if this is at all possible, that would be a deal breaker, good product and allows you to use older products batteries, what else could you ask! :cool:DARE TO SOAR:

For the homeowner type, I say Ryobi all the way. Proffesionally, Rigid and Dewalt...

IMO, if one can afford the quality might as well go for it at it may mean having the tool for 30+ years compared to 10+ years for home tools. IE: My Rockwell grinder is close to 28 years and is still kicking better than a brand new cheap tool would (B&D or Ryobi). BTW; I do not exactly consider Dewalt as proffessional however, Dewalt definitley beats many of the chepo brands out there.For the homeowner type, I say Ryobi all the way.

I used to be a Makita person back in the 9V pistol grip days. I have since switched to Milwaukee 18V Li tools and haven't looked back. I have the 18V hammer drill and it is as well made and durable as any tool I have owned. The drill has good torque and the clutch has a wide range of adjustability. The battery life is really good, even for 18V systems. I used my Sawzall to trim a plum tree a few weeks ago. I sawed 7 or 8 4 and 5 inch diameter branches off of the tree and them trimmed them down to 18" lengths on one charge. I was impressed. Highly recommended."I drank what?" Socrates :eek:

I fairly recently bought a Bosch Lithium Ion drill. It's model number 36618. 18V, comes with 2 Li-Ion batteries, charger and hard case for around $90.00. Nice build quality and not made in China! Very powerful and keeps the charge a long time. The one down side is that there are no levels on it! That's the one I recommend. Plus, it's less expensive!

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

I went with the Dewalt DCD970KL which is 329 at Home Depot...picked it off the internet for a lot cheaper. I'm excited and happy. Thanks for the stories about your drills folks, now I'm going to wash my hands.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
