Hard to believe that this thread has gotten this far and noone has mentioned Porter Cable. They make excellent power tools if you can afford them.

I have a Porter-Cable circular saw and one of their routers. Both are very solid. I particularly like the router. I saw one of their cordless drills a while back and I wasn't as excited. It didn't seem as ergonomic or something (the forward-reverse switch?). I should look again. One issue is that I don't see much of their stuff in the mass-market outlets (perhaps because they are spendy). I need to make time to go to a couple of the trade tool stores that are only open Monday-Friday. In this particular case, though, I need to keep the cost down; I can't justify spending too much for something that will only get occasional use
