This, I love the Bauer stuff and Harbor Freight. So far I've bought the tire inflator, 1/2" impact, drill, 4 1/2" circular saw, pole saw and shop vac (110 V). All of it has been good to go. Can't see any reason to spend 3x as much on name brands. Hope to add more tools/batteries as time goes on. Also have a Predator generator and auger. Both have been good.
