Enough words have probably been spent on this subject, so I have a
proposal for a way to limit the number of times we need to have this
discussion in the future....

Thus:

New section for the FAQ, "How to choose a power tool". We start off with
the gamut of possible views from "buy the best quality at any cost",
to "buy several of the cheapest". Take in the options for "one time job
disposable tools", and "balanced approach based on likely usage etc".

Give each category a number.

Then when someone posts a question of the type "What is the best nnnn?"
we can direct them to the FAQ and ask which thought process/pocket depth
most closely matches yours?

When can then suggest answers fitting that viewpoint (or more
importantly) not suggest in cases where we don't believe the viewpoint
is valid.

We can also include reference to our own "Tool Attitude Type" in
responses so that it is clear where we are coming from.

What does the panel think? I am happy to have a lash at a draft of some
of the words to get the ball rolling if it is felt it would help.

I think that this is a very good idea, John.

What? It's a moving target. You would just say, buy Makita and more Makita.
As Mike says, the poor ******* who is broke after buying his first hose,
should buy a Makita to do the job around the house?

You are just plainly unobjective when it come to this point.
