Builders Be very carful about buying tool from discount houses. Most of the tools they sell are made in China, or Tiwan and a lot of them are not anywhere near the quality that is required to build an aircraft or anything else for that matter. Someone advised the purchase of a band saw should be from Sears and I agree because the reason stated was replacement parts availability. Also the quality of most of the power tools available from countries in the far east are below standard. Buy the best even if you have to save up. I have a drill press made by Rockwell that is 37 years old, and still very much serviceable. My large combination belt/disk sander is a craftsman and its 33 years old. My grinder is a Craftsman and it's 33 years old also and all I have ever replaced is the stone wheels. Quality tools will last a lifetime and the extra cost is well worth the quality and durability
