I’ve switched over to Ridgid. I used to be a Craftsman fan and there was a time I only shopped at Sears for power and hand tools. I like the Ridgid features and feel and I like the fact they have lifetime warranties. I haven’t had to use the warranty but i’ve been told they’re legit from people who have.

I also have some Makita 12v tools which are smaller and lighter and work great for smaller everyday projects. I especially like the Makita 3-3/8 circular saw. It started from watching This Old House years ago when Norm Abrams was up on a roof doing a segment. The roofer pulled out his little Makita to cut some shakes and I thought Norm was going to fall off when he saw the little saw. Never saw Norm get excited about a tool like that.
