Also true - crazy Rigid isn't getting a lot of love - those tools are fantastic

They are good, I have mainly rigid and desalt power tools. My rigid nail gun survived the flood and I used it for months before it stopped working finally. That gun sat in warter for days. It only stopped because the springs finally rusted.

All of my harbor freight, Ryobi and husky tools where trash after the flood. My craftsman stuff I bought after the flood is nice. I have the hex wrench ratchet set and ratchet box wrenches. I have put together all kinds of stuff. My kobal socket set is really durable too.

Dewalt makes a great orbital sander. The Dewalt 12v driver set is the best on the market. I have had people with the heavier 18 volt driver wish they had my 12v max. Rigid nail gun, miter saw and shop vacuum has been the most used tools during the flood. They have been well used and keep on trucking.

All of the plant worker "operators" around here should own one.
