To the comment earlier about everything being manufactured in Mexico now - as far as I know the German brands still make their tools in Germany. I have Metabo and Fein tools, purchased from a supplier not a big box, and they all indicate made in Germany. I haven't used Hilti or Festool but both have a good reputation. I have heard that some Hilti products sold at the big box stores are made in Mexico but Hilti bought through a supply house is made in Germany.
Just a rant on quality of tools

Me, I use 18 and 14 volt Dewalts. If I need 24, 36 etc I will pull out a corded tool.
Yea i feel the same way. 18v lightweight regular screw gun is perfect for my needs. I have no problem breakin out a lead cord for some hammerdrillin.
