Rigid power tools.

[To Bear Arms]

Batteries are the weakness for cordless power tools.
My DeWalt set was great on the job being used daily. But when I went to work for a company that supplied cordless tools, my set got taken home for occasional homeowner use.
The batteries slowly lose thier ability to hold a full charge. I replaced them after the use life dropped off to just a couple of minutes, but the newer ones suffer the same problem of lack of use causing a slowly diminishing use life on a full charge time on the charger.

I agree with SideShow Bob about the batteries. I have a bunch of there tools in both corded and cordless and really like all of them. I am on my second metal chopsaw, first one lasted me about 15 years of more then moderate use. When I decided it needed to be replaced I didn't even look at any other brands. I also have the 12" sliding mitersaw that sits on the fold up stand and I love that feature. I can leave the saw on it and have it all folded up in the corner of the garage and it don't take up to much room. And its very easy to pull out and get set up.

I have used Dewalt, Ryobi, and Makita and dislike them all for different reasons. I have some Milwaukee tools and do like the ones I have but I have more Rigid tools.
