Dewalt , all the way . Been using one for 20 year's and I just broke it last week jerking it up off the floor . The Handel broke . 20 dollar's to replace it . You can not go wrong with a Dewalt .

I used to sell power tools, back in the dreamtime. Bosch is the real deal. I rekon Dewalt would be good stuff, too. Makita performs and lasts well for the handyman.

And remember, if the women don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy.

I worked in a wood shop for 3 years, for my 2 cents I like Dewalt, Bosch, and Delta/Porter Cable best, and think that they all make fine tools.  So just get whichever has the features you need, and whatever you can get a good price on.  It's all made in China now, it's just a matter of who has better quality control.

Lot's of people like Makita, but our shop had bad luck with a Makita sliding miter saw that would not lock down the angle or height adjustments properly.  The angle would always slip, and the height would always slowly fall.  We replaced it with a Delta radial arm saw eventually.  Could just be one bad model though, we had a couple Makita cordless drills which where bulletproof so IDK.

My son has one and it is awesome. It was given to him. He brought it over and we finished remodeling my living room. Not sure what brand it is though. You talk about making a job easier, you cannot go wrong.
