the eadiest way to some this one up is "you get what you pay for" Take it from a guy that uses power tools every day, ive tried bout anything worth trying and wasted time and money.... then i bought Bosch. Has a three yr waranty weather you run over it with a truck(speaking from experience) or the switch goes bad you get new. The only other thing i reccomend is going to a tool store and not the Depot. Most of your tool companies make a lower grade of tools for depot and lowes, same with lawn tracters and mowers. As for craftsmen, all i can say about that its not what it used to be. I have also had good luck with makita though. you might want to consider a cordless impact if you havent bought yet, its is the most versitile tool in my arsinal. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> best of luck
