Back in my blue collar days, the Big Boss was an airborne vet. The man knew his power tools, and still had both of his thumbs. He said he was more afraid of our shop's Craftsman table saw than he was of the VC. Some part of me suspected this was hyperbole, but I've looked askance at them since. I'm happy to reconsider. Sadly, the nerds at Consumer Reports don't have much on power tools, so I'm a little helpless in this department and had to draw upon the announced prejudices of others --- his was the one I remembered because it was so colorful.
I vaguely remember another co-worker's preference for particular welding gear, but my home improvement needs have not required me to draw upon my 45 minutes of Welding 101. Yet.
