My good quality tool list would include - DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Roybi, Porter Cable and maybe some others but those are all very good brands. I havent bought a Craftsman, Black and Decker or skil since I bought my first DeWalt jig saw.

If you're on a budget or just like to get good deals, I have found great hand tools at yard sales, thrift shops, classified adds...just test them real good..I've gotten tools from all those places that have lasted for years at a fraction of the price of a new one and shop around online and at the retail stores, you can find the same tools for a wide range of prices.

Bottom line is get the very best tool you can afford, you can make a table saw from a skill saw and make a 3" planer into a thickness planer BUT there's really nothing like having the right tool for the right job.!!
