When it comes to cordless power tools, buy quality, not Canadian Tire (Mastercraft or the lower quality Job Mate). Black and Decker is now only marginally better.

I buy Makita. Their 12 Volt is about the same a CT 18 volt, and the batteries last much, much longer.

You rarely see a tradesman buy a power tool at CT (unless it's for a gift for their aged grandmother):) Check out their tool boxes and you frequently see Makita.
