What brands do you folks use and why? Favorite tools?
I'm pretty heavy into the Kobalt 24v stuff. I also own some Ryobi 18v. I get a deal on a set of tools or some sort of free battery offer and go from there. Both brands can be found pretty inexpensively on the slightly used market.
My favorite tool at the moment...
Quoted from JayDee:I always find this stuff interesting. Who owns who in the corporate world

I like the little note that Ryobi and Rigid are "licensed by TTI". That means anyone can make them. Though I have no complaints about my Ryobi stuff so far.
Car battery quality has gone to shit in recent years. East Penn manufacturing is one of the better manufacturers. They make a lot of the Duracell car batteries, but you have to look. It may say manufactured by or licensed by. I stay away from the licensed by batteries.
Quoted from MrBally:East Penn (Deka) makes the best batteries in North America. They private label them for the Batteries Plus chain using the Duracell brand name. Keep the economy going in Lyon Station, Pennsylvania....
Sam's Club also sells them. I think they used to make Oreilly's house brand as well. I've got a Duracell made by them in my CR-V that is going on 3 years old. I generally get ~2 years out of a battery in that car.
Quoted from mtn-:Lately Ive looking at getting some Ryobi stuff, their batterypowdered solderingstation is interesting.
Blems are on special at Direct Tools for $39.99. I almost picked one up, but really don't need it.
Quoted from mtn-:Blue Bosch is made in Malaysia
Damn. Thats a good price. It would be expensive to ship to Norway unfortunately.
I’m fortunate to have a local outlet store, but yeah, shipping would suck...
