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.

Yea, that is about it.
