Did anyone mention things like how long the company has been in business or
making the particular product? I think experience counts, and it will carry
over to other products. How easy is it to get replacement parts? Lots of
times I choose a particular brand because the competitions units are close to
identical, but I have good luck with another tool, and I like the feel, so I
choose the same company. Nobody mentioned price. If the price is very good, I
will also jump brands, provided I like the tool and it is made well.
