re: What brand of power tools do you roll with?

Makita is what i roll with. Strong, ergonomic, and made to last. Also a ton of the pros use them, so that is how I made my decision. All three of the big boys (DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita) are really good brands. I stay away from DeWalt because they change their batteries to much. Batteries are really what your buying. Find a company that sticks to a battery platform and has the tools you want and run with it that way you will be able to expand your tool collection and know that batteries will be available in the future.
