Thanks! You are correct, it's funny but when I get really stressed, nothing feels better than walking into a local tool store and "looking" around at deals.

Good decision, you can't go wrong with FUEL. That driver is great at drilling as well. You made a good decision going with the M12 lineup, it's the only 12v lineup in my opinion that's worthy to be called a "lineup".

The Red Side is the only side and after the GEN 2 Fuel comes out, there will be no others in the equation. Dewalt is great too but nobody makes cordless saws like Milwaukee. Sure they are expensive but you get what you pay for.

I honestly think you can't go wrong with either one of those battery platforms. Milwaukee's got a huge line and the best saws around but you pay the premium to get it. All the reviews I've seen on the Ridgid X5's really show that they can compete with top brands and I think would be enough for any homeowner or DIY'er. If money isn't an issue though I would venture into the vast lineup of Milwaukee or even their FUEL lineup but if your on a budget, you can pretty much grab the Ridgid X5 set for about $400 not including a jigsaw.

Hey guys, my name is John. I am new to the Forum but familiar with T.I.A. I am 27 years old and a father of 3 amazing kiddos. I enjoy woodworking and pretty much anything that gives me an excuse to pull out my power tools! I also love reading and watching tool reviews and really just seeing new tool innovation. Lately I haven't been able to be as active with projects and woodworking due to finding out that all my kids are on the Autism Spectrum. But being able to catch new videos from T.I.A and watching them with my oldest daughter makes up for those things. Anyway, I was browsing and definitely love the community here, everybody seems in good spirits and ready to help with one thing or another. Looking forward to becoming more active here!
