What is the best brand of cordless power tools?

I’ve been thinking about buying a set of power tools to use in carpentry applications (Im tired of borrowing my grandfathers). I’m in the process of remodeling my home and need a circular saw, a drill/screwgun and a recipricating saw. I saw the Milwaukee V28 set and it looks like just what I need. My grandfather who is a very experienced carpender tells me Milwaukee is a very good brand. Tell me what you think…..thanx.

My Brother keeps a large box of magazines in his closet which he says are carpentry magazines for men?

I think maybe he’s not being entirely honest with me however. I always devolop my own wood when reading the one about Penthouses. Is it normal to become so visibly firm and sweaty just looking at these architectural digests?

Also, his nearby tool box has some unusual tubes of caulk and odd vibrating mechanisisms. as well as a string of bath beads, and a large can that smells like old fish. Is he being honest with me?? Should I ask Mom?

what power tools do you recommend?

I’m new at buying tools and I usually borrow but now I’d like to buy my own. I really love carpentry and I plan to do quite a bit of projects once I have power tools. I’de like to start out by buying a circular saw and a drill. what brands and types do you recomend that are not to expensive, will do a good job, and will last a pretty long time? and if you can, which brands and types should I stay away from?
