Tim,
If you are not going to be using it every day, why do you want to spend a t=
on of
money on a cordless drill. You say you have $160 burning a hole in your po=
cket
and are willing to put another $160 to that. Man that $320!!!! You can ge=
t a
Roybi or such for say $100. Usually around Xmas which you just missed, you=
can
get a Roybi kit with a drill, saw, and another tool for less than $150. Th=
at's where
I'd put the first $160. Then I'd look at something else like a sliding com=
pound
miter saw, or a nail gun or two, or some other tools.
Now that being said, let me say I buy a lot of Harbor Freight tools. And f=
or the
occassional use they work well. I have a $25 ish oscillating saw, which I'=
ve used
for something over 5 yrs. It just died in the middle of a remodel in a bed=
room.
So I bought another. Especially if you don't know what you're going to use=
it for.
I also have a cheap $20 H.F. recriprocating saw that has paid for it's self=
. If I'd
have bought a $100 to $300 version of either of these tools, I'd never had =

every day for me to do a lot of the things I used to do, like bend over. :)=
So why
should I pay for a tool that would last me for the next 30 years or so, if =
I'm only
going to be around for another 10 years?
Spend a little less money on a tool, and get more of them. Especially if i=
t not your
bread and butter.
