My personal preference is Dewalt. It's what I have sitting out in the garage. They seem to be an exceptional brand and I have had no issues with them.

How about you?

Grew up with my dad using DeWalt for everything.
When I bought my first house, someone got me a Ryboi drill as a gift, and ever since then I've been using their tools without nay issues.

Impact gun, hedger, drills, air tools, weedwhacker etc...

Well,a certain 'trick of the trade' was buying those 3/4" drive electric impacts back when setting up double wide mobile homes,as you gotta' lag bolt the floor/ roof rim joyces & just work the living dog crap out of it, as many times your working it off the end of a 100'+ extension cord,,,then return it saying it's to weak,,,you can smell that ozone burning in the air once you've gotten the best out of it,,,I've had gotten real good service out of Dewalt brand tools,,,I'd just bought a WORX 20 volt cordless line trimmer, it came with a blower casing-liner that I chased the cat around the house with& dusted,removed cobwebs all at the same time:thumbup:

My new Dewalt cordless impact gun just earned a place of honor in my cabinet for easily removing a way over torqued sideplate screw in a rifle that just found its way home with me.

I've got a Porter Cable reciprocating saw that owes me nothing after 25 years of use.

Same with a Makita cordless drill I've had forever.

The cheap Ryobi cordless impressed me for the money but it did give up the ghost after being my go to for fifteen years.

I am waiting for a power cocktail shaker to announce mine. Until then, I do not have one because my power rotating fly swatters broke.

I like my Ninja blender because I like anything with the word Ninja in it. I put that word in the blender and jaNine came out and I can't figure where the e came from. I am thinking The Conjuring might have taken over my blender.

The Dewalt cordless Sawzall is a great tool. Cuts tree roots, removes exhaust from the truck , Quarters up deer , cuts out steel targets very versatile tool

Followed closely by the Dremel tool which is awesome for all types of gunsmithing work along with cutting out rusted brake lines and trimming Scouts toenails before hunts which he is not too fond of by the way .

Dewalt angle grinder got 6 of them 3 cordless and 3 corded sharpens mower blades like a Razor with a flap wheel


Stihl O45 Super 87 cc chainsaw designed when Power was all important and emissions were an after thought . Certainly not something everyone needs but real cool watching it throw a shower of giant chips going through Drum size Oak like a hot knife in butter.

I use my Dremel rotary and saw tools probably as much as anything else I own. Really versatile tools for small projects.
Do you have that 3' " whip" rotary attachment?, it really makes it nice,as you can hang the tool up vertically while doing projects at the bench,,,,I got two electric corded dremels& two cordless ones around here somewhere, those thin " steel cutting cut-off wheels" are the neatest thing going for the tool,,,IMO,,,as I've cut out breaker spaces in old electric service pedestals in decrepit trailer parks on many occasions in the past,,,& opened up gas ports on semi-auto shotguns just a minuet .oo1 'sub- fraction' to get them to cycle low brass field loads,,,good post about a must have kinda' coolest of tools @JIMMYBUFFETT

No-Doubt!,,,now! That 'Jonny Red'
Norwegian brand of jonsered chainsaws has an equal if not lesser well known tribe of fan following,,, but, you lay the money down& STIHI is what the smart dudes lay it out for:thumbup:
:lmao2: ,,,I've got a big Canadian manufactured
' pioneer ' p-45 logging chainsaw( I had a 4' bar for it at one time, it's prolly laying in the bottom of a truck bed tool box,I'd like to think so,anyway:laugh:) it's a pretty awesome piece of two-cycle casing-liner,,,:lmao2:.
I'd dropped a tree one time in a trailer park that was so freaking tall,I had to go ask the 'neighbors' across the alley to open up his double gate on his back fence access cuz' that was the only way to drop-it, as I wasn't quite dumb enough back then/ or now to be monkey climbing 60'+ ,up in a tree to 'top it off' in sections, with a any sized chainsaw, let alone a chunked ,,,man!, it was a beautiful drop & 'whooshed' perfectly, as the top 10' flopped inside that dudes back yard,between those opened double alley accessed chain-link gates.( that would've been a 'bank account' torpedo at the time if I'd of trashed chain-link fencing,,, just in repair time alone)
*That was a charity-job/ honey-do chore for a girlfriend of a girlfriend,,,,I don't get roped into that kinda' nightmare crap ANYMORE:thumbup:



* also,I'd like to think I've still be of ownership off a Dewalt 4 1/2" angle head grinder ,,,er,,,around here somewhereo_O

** oh,man! A cordless Dewalt 18 volt sawzall is ABOUT the handiest to grab tool outta' the box there is,,,,,:cool:

I like my Makita cordless reciprocating saw. It's got the standard trigger, plus a squeeze handle on the housing, for one-handed, hard to reach cutting.

No heirloom. Just one the of those Italian copies of the 1873 Winchester. They use real soft screws on those things. My nice hollow ground screw driver wasn't budging it so with no small amount of trepidation I VERY carefully got after it with the power tool. It came right out with nary a scratch on the nicely case hardened side plate.

PHEW....
