re: Power Tool Set

We have 35 sets of the Mikita LXT218 at work. These are being used for 5 to 8 hours a day and we have only had 4 fail. All but one of the failures was operator abuse. We were so impressed with these that most of the us bought sets for home use as well. The set is on sale at Amazon for $279 with Prime shipping. If you have access to Grainger or Fastenal, they usually run deals on these sets regularly. We switched from the Dewalt 14.4v to the Makita 18v Lithium. We are almost through year 2 with the tools and have only had one battery go bad as well.

I have used my set to put up 110' of 6' privacy fence without a complaint. Hope that helps. Of course, this is just IMO.
