I’m on the Sears website and I’m looking at 2 different types of routers.

The 1st is a Craftsman 9.5 Amp 1-3/4 HP Plunge Base Router $80
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00917540000P?mv=rr

Pros: Soft Start, LED Worklight, Good Price
Cons: No Variable Speed, Not Digital

The 2nd is a Craftsman 2 hp 10 amp Digital Router $100
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00917517000P?mv=rr

Pros: Digital Display, Variable Speed
Cons: No LED Worklights, A different base is needed to use [Porter Cable] bushings.

I personally believe its DEWALT, they are the only company owned by an American and the quality is 2nd to none but I want to hear everyone opinions
actually Milwaukee was bought out by TTI who owns Rigid and Ryobi and moved operations overseas to Asia. Oh and just a word of advice, when you look at a life time warranty such as craftsman or rigid, it means the lifetime of the tool, which on avg is given a life of 2 years

I am going to soon be building up my own toolbox and am not too familiar with the different brands’ quality and dependability. Do you prefer Craftsman, Husky, Ryobi, Makita, Stanley, Workforce etc. or something else. A combination? Hand tools of one, power tools of another? I think you get the idea. Thank you for your consideration.

I used to stick with Craftsman, but Sears has ticked me off too much. I’d like to switch brands. Any recommendations?
