Larry, About 6 years ago I got a DeWalt 18 volt set and within 3 months, I
sold all my corded tools that matched what I had in DeWalt. Then I added
to it.
I've been VERY impressed with my DeWalt kits. (I have a few now.)
The only issue I have with them is the Rep Saw does not have an adjustable
shoe (I think the newer ones do).
I also really like the radio charger. (many other brands have this now)
but dewalt was the first as far as I know.

Subject: Battery tools, which brand?
I know this is a 'personal' issue, much like the Chevy vs. Ford rivalry
(or
should I say MG vs. Triumph?). However I suspect that there are some
brands
you want to avoid and others you would put in the good/acceptable range. I
have the old Makita 9v system and have had good success with them for
years.
Now it is time to buy for my son as a Christmas present. I would like a
system that will be around for years; one my son can add to with other
compatible tools as he sees fit. I figured that I'd poll this group first.
Some of the brands I've seen sold locally are: Makita, Skill, Black &
Decker, Ryobi, Ridgid, DeWalt, and Milwaukee; maybe more.
Suggestions?
