 | DEWALT DW705S 12-Inch Heavy-Duty Compound Miter saw
I usually leave this thing set up at the shop on a 24" countertop. A sliding miter saw won't do that. Consider your shop layout before you buy anything.
|
 | DEWALT DW682K Heavy-Duty 6.5 Amp Plate Joiner
Buy new: $189.00 More solid than a Porter Cable, has stabilizing pins to prevent slipping. As usual the dust bag is useless. Same with any other dirt bag.
|
 | Milwaukee 0234-6 Magnum 5.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Drill
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $106.99 So far, any drill bit has been fair game for this wrist breaker! Even a 4 1/4" holesaw through yellow pine . Gets very warm to touch though.
|

|
| Porter-Cable 9887 19.2 Volt 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill Kit
I've had this one almost a year now. In the heat of summer, it held a charge well under heavy use. Side by side with a Dewalt every day. Very similar performance. No noticeable difference in run time.
|
 | Milwaukee 6521-21 Heavy Duty 11 Amp Orbital Action Super Sawzall
Remember the movie "Rambo". Chop it all up and let it fall where it may. I love this saw. The keyless blade change is great. The length of stroke makes it cut fast. Variable speed makes it manageable.
|

Buy new: $151.73 Not so macho, but very effective. Plenty of power with finesse. No tool blade changes,speeds things up and must make it more reliable. Have you ever Vice Gripped a set screw? The best jig saw I've had
|
| DEWALT DW364K 7-1/4-Inch Heavy-Duty Circular Saw with Electric Brake
Buy new: $167.12 I've used the others, just like you I have my priorities, The base on this saw is as tough as they come and precisely adjustable .The electric brake is nice too !!
|
| Porter-Cable 9845 Saw Boss 19.2-Volt Ni-Cad 6-Inch Cordless Circular Saw
Use a guide, a square,etc. the less you do freehand, the longer the battery life.Binding the blade kills the battery. The Dewalt version is more comfortable to operate. The safety on P.C. is awkward.
|
| Porter-Cable 3700L 10-Inch TWINLASER Compound Miter saw
I've had this almost a year now. I like it. it's a little heavy. My gripe is, the laser is on a battery. You have to push a button to make it come on and hold it to keep it on. Pretty stiff button.

 | Porter-Cable 7424 6-Inch Variable Speed Random-Orbit Polisher
