Mmm, discussion on tools.

I prefer DeWalt for drills.
Compund Miter Saws- We have a hitachi at our shop which has performed very well. Some of their high end stuff is not very appealing though.
Radial Arm Saws- We have 2 38 year old DeWalts in our shop. Still running extremely strong. All the yoke locks still function beautifully.
Table Saws- Hehe, we just got a new $10,000 TecnoMax from Italy last year. And a small Craftsman for the smaller projects and new people.
Recirpcoating- Milwaulkie has been good in my experience. Used a Cordless DeWalt and it was decent.
Jigsaws- Meh, don't use them much.

What did I get yesterday?

SanDisk e260 MP3 Player, AC Adaptor, Olympus FE-180 from Circuit City.

Milwaulkie makes the best cordless drills. I'm not ready to drop $280 on a cordless drill yet though.
Bosch makes the best grinders. I wouldn't buy anything else.
Milwaulkie, Bosch, and Porter Cable are pretty much tied for recipricating saws although prior to a few years ago it was Milwaulkie all the way. I still have my older Milwaulkie but compared to the new ones from the companies listed above it's got nothing.
Miter saws, I like the DeWalt. Makita, Hitachi, and even Ridged make some nice products. I have a DeWalt 12in Slider but I have a 12in Ridged Single Bevel that I use much more ofted because of it's size and weight.
For table saws I use a cheap Makita which has never let me down but Bosch makes one that puts them all to shame.
For ciricular saws I like Makita. I do have an older Craftsman one I bought at a garage sale that is much heavier then the new ones, made like a rock, cuts through anything without complaining even with a cheap dull blade, and refuses to die which I will continue to use until it does die.
Jig Saws are a tie between Bosch and DeWalt.

Gotta throw my .02 in for tools...

Makita and Dewalt both make some good 1/2 drive corded drills, cordless drills are just a PITA in my opinion.
Dewalt makes a hell of a 4.5 inch grinder. Don't buy the cheaper one but opt for the heavy duty one and it'll keep on going forever. We use 6 inch grinding wheels in ours without any problems.
Milwaulkie does make a hell of a recip saw, but our Makita seems to be damn good too.

Other than that I'm not much into wood working, but we bought a cheap craftsman table saw that seems to work good enough for us!

I used to have a DeWalt and the Bosch. I kept them both in a case, the Bosch had a grinding disk, and the DeWalt had cutoff disks (easier to change discs on the DeWalt since I never had the wrench for the Bosch). I was cutting through the transmission tunnel on my Camaro to switch from an automatic to a 5spd and the DeWalt gave out turning a cutoff wheel and it wasn't as old as the Bosch which I bought used. DeWalt grinders lost my respect after that one.

As far as cordless drills, they've got to be one of the best inventions ever. They don't have as much power as a corded drill and shouldn't be treated as such. Two decent batteries and a charger should keep you going constantly unless you're useing it for somthing you shouldn't. They're especially nice where dragging a cord out isn't worthwhile. They're especially nice for small jobs where dragging an extension cord out for a few minutes isn't worthwhile or just a PITA. Changeing a latch on a gate for example, I would get a screwdriver before getting the drill and cord out, running it out there, coiling the cord up, then putting it away. In situations where you have to drill a single hole. I put the plow on my truck last week and had to drill one hole, much easier to just grab the cordless then run an exension cord then clean it up.


DeWalt is more marketing and reputaion then quality in my opinion. They do make good stuff but their is better for less money.
