I have a chance to get some home repair and carpentry done in exchange for my buying the materials, and a new "sawsall" for the person who will do the work. That is a tool I had never heard of until recently, but I want to buy one of the very best to give in exchange for the labor involved. He had no suggestions, other than to be sure it was pretty powerful. What brands, models, styles, etc. do those of you who have used these tools recommend? Which brands, models, styles should I avoid? Price is not a significant consideration, but local (Los Angeles area) availability of spare parts and repair services is.
Ideas, suggestions?
Thanks.
