And get the same crap chinese quality but for more money.
Don't ask me how many Dewalt tools I go thru in my trade.
The circular saws last 366 days whether you use it or not.
I buy one every September.
Nail guns used to last 2 years, now the same one lasts 6 months before 
it needs a total overhaul and it's toast by the 366th day.
I am convinced that little tag on the tools is NOT an anti theft device 
from the store but it once scanned, it starts the clock, if it had a 90 
day warranty, it lasts 93 days, if it has a 1 year warranty, it lasts 
366 days, maybe 367 on a leap year.
Guess where Dewalt tools are made now?
It ain't Japan either.
Home defect and lowes have made everybody else compete or beat feet
So it's all cheap crap now.
Rigid Tools used to be good until Home cheapo bought them out.
