I've got nothing against Dewalt, or Black & Decker, for that matter. None
of the tools that are made now seem to be of the same quality as days
gone by. I've got a Porter Cable electric handsaw, and it works very well,
but I doubt if it will last like the old ones did.

As far as brands go these days, it doesn't seem to make that much difference
if you are comparing two brands that cost about the same and are made in
China, then perhaps assembled in the Philippines. On the other hand, a $40
drill will probably outlast a $20 one. You usually get what you pay for.
