What brands and features of power tools should I buy for my boyfriend for Christmas?

September 12th, 2008 | by admin |
Lowa asked:


So far I’ve been looking at Sears and Home Depot for circular saws, table saws and sanders. We build our own custom furniture sporadically, but we’ve always borrowed tools so I think it’s time we get our own. What features should I look for and is there one brand that is much better quality?

      For life only the rigid brand at home owner sears does not guaranty their power tools for the diy anything they have in that brand at home.
      The diy anything they have in that brand at home depot is just fine for life only the hand tools for the rigid brand line will work perfectly for the diy anything.

      As long as its made in USA, it will be of reliable quality. Porter-Cable is a good well made brand, but I would stop short of saying it is the best, because individual preference of design varies. Definately don’t skimp on price -you get what you pay for with tools.
