Make a list and put price at the top. Then decide which features you must have and which you would like to have. Then go try as many as you can get your hands on.
I dont skimp on tools and toolboxes (all Snap-On) and I dont want to skimp on this machine. To me its no different than the tools I use in my garage, you get what you pay for. I just want a really good machine for a fair price.
Funny thing though the contents of my garage is worth way more than my house LOL!! Scary :shock: :shock:

Sounds like our garage and that's not counting the 3 vehicles because they won't fit in it any more. Hubby is a wannabe woodworker, former gunsmith, former welder with a motorcycle fetish.
So, you only want the good stuff! As long as I'm spending someone else's money; I would compare the:

APQS Millenium--

Gammill Vision--

Nolting Pro--

There may be a couple others but these are the creme de la creme and all have a rock solid reputation.
