Well I do a lot of different side work such as: woodwork, decks, deck remodels, small home remodels, just really a little bit of everything. With that being said I need a quality tool that doesn't cost a mortgage and strong enough to do what I need to get done. Kobalt so far is the only brand that offers 98% of there products with lifetime warranty, and or on power tools most 3 to 5 year warranty. To me that is saying a lot. I've never had an issue with a Kobalt tool but my tape measure which is hassle free lifetime warranty. They also offer a vast variety of products to get jobs done. Now I will go to other brands if Kobalt doesn't make what I need but for the most part so far they make what I need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
