Are Delta Power Tools Any Good?
Question: I just bought a pre existing home that needs work. I need to buy some power tools and I see my local tool store carries Delta tools. Are Delta tools any good or should I look elsewhere?
Answer: I've owned and currently own several Delta tools and I can tell you that they are quality tools. I've had my Delta bench grinder and drill press for nearly 10 years and they just keep on running! Although a lot of hardware stores like Lowe's and Home Depot will carry Delta tools, I suggest you buy them online. I often save twenty bucks or more by buying my tools online and in many cases, I can get free shipping! Most orders will arrive in under a week.

What is the best brand of cordless power tools?
Chuck Asks - I've been looking into buying combo power tool sets to use in my construction business. I'm in the process of remodeling my home and need a circular saw, a cordless drill and a reciprocating saw. I saw the Milwaukee V28 set and it looks like just what I need. Are Milwaukee tools good? If not, what are the best cordless power tools on the market today and where can I get the best deals on tools? Thanks!
