Great tool for any RV owner
I don't know quite where to post this, but DIY seems most appropriate. I recently read a great review of the Harbor Freight 1/2" cordless impact driver in Hot Rod magazine. Based on the high prais...

I'm the same way, if it is a tool that I might use once or twice I go to HF. If I am going to use it all the time I go with Craftsman.
I used to do this too, until I went to buy a set of Craftsman offset box wrenches that said in very small letters "Made in China". Looked just like the HF set....if I'm going to have Chinese tools, I would rather pay $15 for the set at HF instead of $80 for the set at Sears.
Personally I thing HF Pittsburgh sockets, ratchets, and wrenches are every bit as good as Craftsman is today.
I started with a DeWalt cordless drill and it seems like once you are locked into the battery system, there's no going back. Everything is 18v NiCad, and it looks like 20v LIon is the new thing now....I buy a pair of batteries every Christmas when the the 2-pack goes on sale for $99.
I've been steadily expanding the DeWalt cordless set:
Drill/driver
recip saw
circ saw
right angle drill
radio/charger
flashlight
flourescent worklight
angle grinder
wet/dry vac
1/2" impact wrench
I have 6 batteries that I rotate, they seem to last about 3 years before they won't hold much of a charge.
Some of the newer stuff out now is nice, and the new LIon batteries are better, but I have too much invested to go back now LOL.
