This makes a nice cut

Ive bought several used Dewalt (yellow/black) power tools over the last
few years. Most have failed within a very short time.
Are they all this bad, or did I simply pick used tools that were crap?

In your case, Gunner, I think it is two things. First, they are used, and
therefore worn to an unknown degree when you get them, many might be far
along on the failure curve already. Second, you use them probably more and
more robustly than a casual occasional user.
Just a thought.

True indeed. However Ive bought Milwaukee and Porter Cable and havent
lost any yet due to them taking a dump.

today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

I know. I have some old tools that look like they will go another twenty
years. And some newer ones that look like they barely will go another year.

Gunner - everyone
Good links - thanks - visited them and read.
One reason for learning a technique to set up an oxy-acetylene cutting
torch which makes no reference to any pressure gauges is that a
construction site flame-cutting set with gauges still intact is a rare
thing indeed!

Personally..I seldom ever pay attention to the gauges. I just set by
flame.
But then..I had bad gauges for years until I scored 18 sets....<VBG>

One who knows what he's doing can do that. For the rest, 4 and 20 are the
starting points.

I retired my all metal body high speed hand drill.
The chuck would come off and you can put a saw blade. The custom
trigger switch mechanically broke down. I liked the high speed
for small drills but the metal case gave me the willies. It was
pushing 60 years old rather hard but didn't make it.
I still have some of the parts - the drill press stand and such.
It was a tool set - drill, drill press, table saw - all in one - Sunday paper
as a young young kid. I never had the saw blade running - safety issue
as a preschool wood worker and later in life I had a real one...
I have Milwaukee and the 'yellow/black' tools...
