Dec 31, 2007 - Most people in trade will tell you most brand names have some great tools and some dogs.I would'nt buy a tool by brand name only,I talk to my associates about specific tool i am looking for and ask how they like theirs.Sorry if this was'nt much help---Bob

Feb 13, 2008 - I must confess that I've used a keyed chuck and a keyless and I have yet to have a keyed chuck slip. I cannot say the same for keyless chucks. I find they slip depending on the operation and it is very annoying. I have two drills with keyed chucks and yes it's a pain but I never have a slip of the bit.

Feb 13, 2008 - I would tend to agree on that. I have not been that impressed with Dewalt. Of all the tool companies, I've found Porter Cable tough as nails but fairly featureless as compared to others. I've tried Makita, Bosch, etc and have a variety and it really does depend on the tool you want.

Nov 23, 2008 - Hi Bob! I just wanted to take a second and tell you thanks for all the great info that you pass on to us wantabies. I injoy every one of your vids. I will be getting one of those Ridgid I spy things soon only because you have one. It will be great due to we are doing our own home remodle and we just found out this house never had a final done. No telling what we will find in the walls. Thanks again and keep the vids coming.....Steve

Jun 23, 2009 - Well if you want power and cordless, I would recommend Dewalt 36V Lithium-ion Nano tech.

MrToolstop mowi:

Sep 27, 2009 - Bosch 36 volt lithium ion is also very good, and Makita have just released an SDS+ 36 volt with more to come

Dec 23, 2009 - @Moe7133 I would stay away from anything from DE-WONT...i mean Dewalt. If you want quality even a low,low,low end porter cable is better than Dewalt.. I would look at Hilti 36 volt
