re: Power Tool Set

Milwaukee all day, every day
I have a 12v 3/8" impact wrench that is freaking awesome. Unbolted and re-bolted 12 seat bolts the other day. Of you've ever messed with stock seat bolts, you'd know that they are on pretty tight. Once I hit them with the impact, I couldn't tighten them anymore with a 3/8 socket wrench
Oh yeah, there are about 30 different cordless tools in the 12v Milwaukee lineup, including a bandsaw, sawzall, grease gun, drills, and even a battery powered heated jacket. They have heavy duty batteries that are the equivalent of an 18v battery, but the smaller ones have done it for me so far.
Basic fact is that other manufacturers have stopped innovating, and just make tools based off of what Milwaukee comes out with. Don't suck the Dewalt teat just because it is Dewalt. Buy the better tools
Another thing.....every one of their power tools has a full 5yr warranty covering the whole tool

If you like Rigid just buy Ryobi instead. It has the same parts inside. I bought the Ryobi when I was on a jobsite with a high theft rate.
Dewalt is a good tool, just need to find them on sale so it's worth it. They are a solid 20% higher than other brands.
I have been buying Makita and Milwaukee for over 20 yrs. No complaints on either.
Whatever you buy get the extended warranties if you can. Good for everything but theft.

After Katrina hit and screwed up all my tools, I bought a Milwaukee tool set. It's still going strong. Came with 3 batteries, two are still going strong. Renovated one and 1/2 houses with them.
ETA: avoid Ryobi.

I second the Milwaukee recommendation...
I would also consider Bosch...

Dewalt is good but is a lot of name recognition....so you end up paying for that.
