Which were you questioning? (DeWalt being in mid range?)

Yes, I thought they were pretty firmly in the Pro camp: certainly equiv
to Bosch blue rather than green.


I beg to differ. Rebadged B&D most of it.

Really? B&D must have improved a _lot_ since I last used any (although
AIUI they used to source their stuff from all over, all different
quality, so there was no canonical B&D). Certainly the 14.4 cordless and
18V jigsaw (DW933) I have are vastly better than the Ryobi-sourced
(AIUI) PPPro ones I was using before (which I think were Ryobi's
equivalent of Bosch green stuff).
