If they still made B&D stuff like they used to that would be good. I've been
stung by some of their recent stuff and wil not buy anymore of it.

I'll put my Black & Decker commercial grade tools, many of them well over
20 years old, up against anything you own. All of the original DeWalt was
the B&D commercial model done up in black and yellow.

Thanks for your opinions.

If I had time to give my opinion on all the tools I believe my reply
would turn in to something more like a book.

But in short it is true it is not the maker it's the tool.

As example Dewalt makes the best job site table saw out there but
their 1/2'" hammer drill is lacking.

Milwaukee makes a much better 1/2" hammer drill.

Ryobi makes tools for Craftsman so except the name on the side of them
they are pretty much the same.

And they have one of the best in line belt sanders out there.

I decide what I going to buy and how much I'm willing to pay by how
much I'm likely to use it.

Recently I bought A little 110 volt jack hammer at Harbor Freight for
$400 (The Bosch was $1400.) because I know I will use it only a few
times a year.

And to my surprise it works pretty well.- Hide quoted text -
