Do any of these brands give you a lifetime warranty on the tool and any batteries that came with cordless ones?
Hard to beat Ridgid in that aspect.

I do not buy my electrical tools from a big box store such as Home Depot, Lows, and Amazon. Why? They are built to different standards than what are sold at a specialty tool store such as Berland's House of Tools. The tools sold at these big box stores are built with lower cost components than a professional tool is built with.

I learned from Dad, to buy quality... once. Interesting was when, during a major kitchen remodel, the workers always picked up my Milwaukee versus the makita's they brought.
With Milwaukee's rebirth, I'm concerned that, as with so many once outstanding American made quality products, the new firm will sell the name as long as the shine remains in the public's eye.
My classic Milwaukee and Porter Cable tools will outlive me with continued superb result.

Wow 11 incidents, and 1 documented injury out of 641,000 drills sold is enough to get a recall.
Yesterday I was at a local historical exhibit that included some information on the Louisiana military maneuvers of 1941 where between 400,000 -500,000 troops fought a simulated war in western Louisiana in a strip of land about 45 miles wide from the coast to a point about 250 miles inland. The pre-maneuver estimate called for 4,000 troops to be hospitalized and 148 to be killed in this mock war. When it was over the powers that be were happily surprised that only 17 soldiers were killed on these maneuvers.
Oh how times have changed....

Best of my knowledge, Dewalt and Craftsman are the only ones made in the U.S.A. now. My old Porter-Cable drill was made in TN.-off shore now.

DeWalt does assemble some tools in the us but they are globally manufactured parts. So assuming anyone overseas would assemble to tool correctly, you have the same quality of tool as if it was built overseas. Just a marketing gimmick....BUT...is supporting some US jobs so that's a positive.
Craftsman is now owned by black and Decker and everything is from overseas.
