In Response To: Best Jig saw for the job (Foster Nuffer)

My 2cents on the tools I've liked:

Drills - Milwaukee
Jigsaw - Bosch
Circular Saw - Skill Mag77 wormdrive (not sure what you do on a kayak with it though).
Sawzall - Milwaukee (don't be at home without it)
RO sander - Bosch
Tablesaw - Delta with Forrest WoodworkerII thin kerf
Chop Saw - Delta with Freud red teflon cutoff.
Planer - Delta
Belt Sander - Porter Cable
Router - Porter Cable
Bandsaw - Inca 340 (very precise, Delta is nice for bigger things)

Never, ever, buy Ryobi or Sears!
