But you will pay for the quality. If he’s a very handy DIY’er, go with Makita. It’s a little cheaper than Milwaukee, but better than DeWalt. Porter-Cable is comparable to Makita. Hope this helps.

If you brought in a Makita you would be laughed off the job. Porter cable makes some good wood working tools. Milwaukee is sometimes used by plumbers or electricians along with Ridgid.

Joe S July 12, 2009 at 10:21 am: Dewalt would be the best bet, and then milwaukee,or porter Cable. Hope he has a good birthday. Good luck and God bless you and yours.
Devin G July 12, 2009 at 10:21 am: I’m not going to restate what the guys above me said but I will mention that Rigid has lifetime replacement on there batteries, that can save you ALOT of money in the long run…
