Don't really trust the newer stuff. All the brands seem to be owned by 2 maybe 3 companies.
Milwaukee tools. Expensive but you'll never need to replace them.
Mr_Sworld-
Have a wolf (of London) tools that is a 110v 9 inch angle grinder and circular saw. That has a chop saw frame. Have a large wolf 240v hammer destruction drill, that may cause vibration white finger but does what ever I have needed it to do from extensions to roof to garages.
I know that wolf (of hanger lane) were bought by kango then bought by atlas cop co. Atlas cop co then in the early 90's bought AEG tools, then sold the lot off to Hong Kong when atlas cop co went back to the core buisness. Same people that own Milwaukke own ryobi, aeg, vax, dirt devil and hoover.
The tools I've bought recently have been the one with the longest guarantee. They will fuck up, just use the waranty and then at the end when it dies throw it away. Things are no longer rebuildable. The last two hammer drill I had, one was a green corded bosch that the motor burnt out, have a tesco hammer drill that was cheap. Bought as an emergency and still not died. Looking at a cordless, will see what has as a special.

I used to like wolf tools, over black and decker. But then I used to like bosch blue tools but discovered that some of the discount tool places such as screwfix are unique models to them.
