I'm making a serious effort this year to go cordless wherever
possible, and I'm looking at the Porter Cable cordless series (DeWalt
may be at every discount place but they burned me once and I won't buy
them again...). Has anyone used the 9290 router? That's one of the
more intriguing items for me since I need to replace an ancient router
that's gotten to be too hard to deal with. Also looking at the 9845
circular saw, and the BN200V12 brad nailer.

Any suggestions as to alternatives would be accepted, and especially
opinions from anyone who's used the PC line.

Thanks,

Jeff


I'm doing just the opposite (of the current trend). When the
batteries go dead, I buy a corded model. I'm sick and tired of
recharging expensive batteries when I'm in the middle of a project. I
just love my Milwaulkee corded drill which costs the same as a quality
cordless drill. It has never gone dead (and I don't need to think
about it losing power). It was smart to put in all those electrical
receptacles when I set up shop years ago.
