I look for the Made in America logo first... Not always an option...
That said, I like my 18 volt Makita drills and impact drivers. And the portable Makita table saw is a beast. Most used are; Milwaukee Sawzall and hammer drill, Porter Cable circular saw, compressors, framing gun and couple finish guns. Dewalt miter saws (3), jig saw, and planer, Fein oscillating saw, Hitachi grinder, Jet bandsaw, joiner and lathe, Craftsman drill press, and Powermatic table saw, While I have not tried the knock offs, there is nothing like the Festool Track Saw, HEPA vac, RA sander, or Domino cutter. I have more invested in tools than I do in the boat or vehicles.

That's a juicy list, I think your name should be changed to Ross the Toolman. I've found my portable 1 ton vice from harbor freight to be invaluable for clamping and holding logs for some initial rough cuts, unfortunately on slip too close and your sharpening your saw blade.
ps: And who said we can't step outside of politics to find something fun to talk about. |

Anyone who has a company in this trade is going to have the same if not more. I've just kept adding tools according to the demands of the jobs I get. And the tools better be making money to be worth the investment. For instance, just had to add two come alongs to the one I already had and an additional bottle jack to lift and straighten a garage that was falling down. |
