What is the best brand of power tool?

get the best you can afford when you need to use it. I have a black and decker jig saw, a craftmans dril, and a pile of mismatch brand names. They fit my hands and don’t fati ge my muscles when I use them. That makes the best for me.

I have Dewalt sander, power drill, cordless combo kit. Have not had any problems

My late husband swore by Dewalt tools. He actually kept his under our bed he loved them so much.

I think if you purchase any of the major brands..... Makita, DeWalt, Ryobi, Ridgid, etc; as power tools, they will serve you well, and give you satisfaction. Additionally, Ridgid has a lifetime warranty on their power tools, which might be something to consider. Many of the hand tools that are currently available also have a lifetime replacement warranty

I worked in construction years ago. Most of the trades people had DeWalt tools.

It all depends upon what you want to do with the tools. If you are going to build a house or remodel, you need heavy duty tools - if it's just small stuff, most will do. Google "best battery powered saws" to find the best saws. Do the same with other tools. I would suggest a tool box...

There are many great answers here already. I am not fond of battery powered tools so think about how you will use the tool before you buy it... batteries run dead and they need to be replaced; they are not as powerful as electric or gas powered tools. Everyone needs basic tools like a hammer, screw drivers, pliers, etc. A basic tool kit makes a great shower present because people need these tools just to hang pictures or do simple projects. Add a basic electric drill to the set and this covers most people's needs quite well. But how you will use the tools determines what you need to buy. I know you are looking for brand names and several people have made great suggestions.
