[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8705074, member: 679555"] Really hard to go wrong with Hillti, but it sure hurts right in the wallet. I haven't tried the larger milwaukee table components, so maybe I should broaden my scope of the brand. I'm only familiar with hand tools by most large brands. Bosh Bulldog I've never heard of, unless you mean Bosch. I have some experience with their low end, and I've used a lot of their bits. They seem to be decent middle grade, but mostly Chinese manufacturing, no? Same with all TTI companies and Dewalt. I saw this interesting little tid-bit on Bosch's wikipedia page. [B][I]In 2006, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen']Volkswagen[/URL] executives asked Bosch for help in developing software for their emission defeat devices. Volkswagen is one of Bosch's biggest customers. Volkswagen engineers provided detailed specifications to Bosch, which wrote the necessary code.
