re: Favorite Power Tools Brand?

Hey, Wolf & Rabbit, we have ALDI here in America, too. I think they’re worldwide, based in Germany?? I’ve seen pretty good prices on the few tools they occasionally sell, but never needed what they had. But your comment is making me hungry since that is where I do a large portion of my grocery shopping!

As for my tools, I only dream of owning Fein, Festool, Mirka, Powermatic, or similar. I keep wondering when they will ask me to test their tools for them and then let me keep them! LOL

I think I only have one Black & Decker tool but that’s probably my favorite. Let me explain: most every B&D item we’ve gotten has been a problem. However, they have such a confused customer service that when we have contacted them, we get it replaced free of charge—not just once but many times!! When the second replacement comes and we contact them because it was duplicated, it seems that it generates another record and we get still another. One day we came home after complaining about a toaster oven. We had already received two and were told to keep the second one. There were three more setting on our front step! Nearly the same thing happened with a coffee maker and we ended up with five more over a period of several months waiting for them to replace it. Their quality may not be very good, but it only has to last 20% as long !!

My favorite tools are Menards’ free-with-rebate tools! I’m pretty cheap!
