I've had a 12" Dewalt for like 27 years, bought a 10" Hitachi, and then a little 7.25" Ryobi that weighs nothing and is easy to carry up to the 4th floor for a little molding job!

I actually just searched for these saws, and the DeWalt is 4 b heavier than my Hitachi 10" that will cut 1x6!

I have found that every type of tool has been refined and perfected by one company more than the others: Jig Saw= BoschReciprocating Saw= Milwaukee SawzallCircular Saw= Skilsaw worm drive (or Dewalt if you don't like worm drives, Makita also makes a nice worm but the Skilsaw version is more classic)Drill and Impact Driver set= Makita (3 yr. battery warranty) or Ridgid (not great quality but lifetime warranty on batteries)  Multitool= If it's not Fein, say "nein"Router= Porter CableHammer drill/chorded drill= Bosch BulldogPalm sander= MakitaAngle Grinder= BoschMiter/Chop saw= Dewalt, Makita, Hitachi, Bosch, all good.Table saw (portable)= Bosch, Dewalt, Delta, Skil worm drive, or SawStop if you want to avoid having to buy those 3, 2 or 1-fingered gloves. 

I am young (CNC) machinist at Mitsubishi hitachi power systems in Orlando, FL.

For those of you who don't know Israel, let me just say it's far away from the USA but close at heart.I have diversify education and experience: I'm a lawyer (not practicing it for the last few years), a veteran business administration bachelor, a chef (Yep… learned professional cooking and worked as a cook and as a privet chef for some time) and for the last 15 years I'm the co-owner and CEO of Pil Animation Ltd., a leading Israeli animation studio and enjoying life with my amazing wife and 4 kids.I've been always fascinated by Real-Estate but had a fear that it's not for me.
