yeah sadly newer doesnt always mean better thats for sure. a lot of companies end up cutting corners over time, but i do have a newer sawzall from milwaukee thats cordless and its got some good PAH to it, still the corded older one is a monster lol
as for the subject at hand, i'll make sure i stay away from Rigid in the future...one of the biggest reasons I buy certain brands are for the warranty's, so ill just stay away from rigid.

I use my buddy's dewault stuff and its never let me down but its not used as much as some of you guys I'm sure. The 20v stuff is unbelievable. I've almost broken my wrist using the drill. I also have a pretty old corded drill at work, gotta be going on 15 years, and its never let me down.

I had to replace the trigger in my dad's this past year. That thing has to be older than me!

I have a few of the Craftsman 19.2v cordless tools, and they are great for around the hosue stuff. Batteries don't hold a charge much anymore, but I haven't helped them by storing them out in the shed all winter for 4+ years now.

We have a 1/2" Milwaukie corded drill that I fear. If it catches it will break your wrist , or face, or knock you off the ladder.

I don't doubt it. I enjoy watching other people use it for the first time

I have an antique 1/2 corded drill like that. No reverse, either. I don't use it for much, it's borderline dangerous.

So do I, but mine is dangerous. It's all metal and will zap you when you let off the trigger.
