I have always used Hilti. If you get a rep you can get some good deals or quite a lot of money taken off. They are a bit prices but they are extremely durable

Okay, getting closer to making my decision... If we throw NAME out of the window........... which of these two?
Dewalt $139
Porter Cable? $139
Almost seems like a pointless post I guess.. Obviously Dewalt? I think these are both Brushless? I can't find anything about it with the dewalt, but I didn't go any further then these amazon pages.....
EDIT: I guess this sums it up pretty well... I don't plan on building anything right now.. but down the line I plan on getting a house and I'm sure ill do stuff there.. so once again probably pointless post but stumbled upon the Porter Cable..
(Which to buy according to a website - Sums it up )
Dewalt $139

Alright, down to the nitty-gritty. We are here to talk abou tools, after all.
Like we mentioned in the introduction, when it comes to the DeWalt and Porter-Cable names, it'd be wise to consider the old adage you get what you pay for.
DeWalt is best-of-the-best; if you're getting into it for the long haul and plan on getting some serious use and abuse out of your tools (i.e. construction, remodeling), we highly recommend making the investment and going with the best quality.
On the other hand, if you're just wanting to have some tools around the house to dabble here and there, or just to have one handy if/when you might need it, most of Porter-Cable's cordless tools will suit just fine for around the home jobs (repairing furniture, light woodworking, etc).
For reference, we'll take a look at a couple of DeWalt's and Porter-Cable's cordless tool combo kits, to really get an idea of what exactly each brand offers, and where the major differences in price/quality lie.

I'd get Makita if you were planning on doing building work of your own. Almost every chippy I know uses Makita, they're decent. Dewalt are okay but I've had a few lasers and hammer drills that weren't so good
