P.C., B&D and Dewalt are all realy the same company now so there is little differance. Been through 2 Riobi one lasted a long time the other short 1 Rigged...
I had the same list and thought P-C. A woodworker I ran into told me to go the Ridgid route. Not a lot of use so far but I think it's a keeper. Bryant...
