All lines Chris? or just the Chinese bilt bottom feeders.How long ago was this? In recent years, I've been reading nothing but bad stuff about their customer service and warranty.

But seems to be the trend. 20 years ago DeWalt was the industry leader. Then they entered the box store wars. Now Milwalkie is the hot buy. I'm thinking Warn is going here too. Way too many shareholders controlling R&D, manufacturing and marketing.
They make 2 lines, the DWxxxx models are the high end. And the DWxxxxx are the Chinese knock offs for the box stores. 4 numerals, will have the best USA quality parts. The 5 numerals are built to a price point with some steel components replaced with plastic.Supposedly DeWalt has gotten really good in recent years (they turned things around from what I read).
I can attest to it as well, as I have a number of high end DeWalt cordless tools and absolutely love them. Of course I'm not using them for a living though, so take that for what it is.

I was at a buying show when I heard the story. WM wanted containers of DW tools for Fathers Day and asked for the best price. DW quoted $98.00. WM said we'll pay $88.00. And DW substituted plastic for steel to fill the order.... and the 5 numeral tools were born.
Exactly what the Warn VR line is all about. A price point to put Warn on everyones front bumper.

I watched DeWalt go after some guy for reselling some black and yellow tools on eBay that he picked up at garage sales to make a few bucks. After that bullshit, they can lick my nuts.Supposedly DeWalt has gotten really good in recent years (they turned things around from what I read).
