Does anyone here use magazine comparisons tests as a gauge to help you decide what new tool to buy. They seem to give the tools some decent workouts and tell you their shortcomings as well as strong points. They also are able to get most of the tool companies to send them a sample so they have a variety-something the average joe woodworker can't afford to do. The last 2 tools I bought using the results were the Jet clamps and the Makita 18V drill. I'm really happy with the performance of both choices.
