I gotta give credit to my wife for the killer stuff she have bought for me over the years
She got me a sawsall for christmas one year. One of the best persents ever. -Millwalkie: Love it!
Then she hooked me up with a 24v combo pack from Bosh
Cordless drill / Skill saw combo pack: The saw will go through 3/4" ply very nice. The drill is kinda heavy but has the power of one that you would plug in. I chuck up sockets and use it to screw AN fittings together. It works very well and I can do well over 50 -6 fittings on a charge.
Other stuff I've got.
Power snake - Ridged homeowner model. It paid for its self the first time. Good for what I use it for but I don't know if it's up to the task for Pro use. Must have for my old house.
Bench grinders, I have a bunch but the Baldor is the best and the Dayton is second.
Jig saw, I have a Ryobi that just won't die. It was the cheepie and just keeps on going. I used on things it was not intended for before I got the sawsall.
Angle grinders, Black and decker. I have both 4.5" and the big wildcat. They are fine I guess. Lots of hours on both of them.
Belt sanders:
Hand held, Black and decker. It's ok for what it is. It's the ultra cheep O. I shape alum. with it. It's never seen wood.
6" wide floor model. Grizzley brand that I mail ordered. It works fine but I'm not married to it. Another wood tool that's never seen wood. lol
2" wide, I have both a dayton and a Burr King. The Dayton works fine but The Burr King is the king with out question. As it should be for what they cost.
Hammer drill - Bosh: I don't use it enough to give a review one way or the other.
