I have used Dewalt for years, both mains and cordless,many years ago I was a service engineer then a manager for an industrial power tool company,B&D's industrial tool brand (Elu here) Dewalt in the states were the best sellers and the most reliable.

Dewalt pricy here but I buy mine from the states at a fraction of the price including the shipping.
Recently bought a dewalt 18v Jigsaw cost about £88-00 all in compare that to the UK price.

The only time I have had a problem with a dewalt was last year when my sons bought me a dewalt random orbit sander from the uk.
Worked twice and packed up, dewalts local repairer did it in one day ,been fine ever since.
