Re: DeWalt DWP849X or Makita 9227/9237
Thanks for all the feedback everyone...Keep it coming because I am torn? I'm sure they are equally as good, just not sure if in the long run, one would be better than the other?
One dumb question that popped into my head after comparing them closer is the warranty. Does this have any indication of how they are? DeWalt is 3yr and Makita is 1yr.
Thanks again everyone!!!

That should clearly make up your mind.

I wouldn't really let the warranty difference influence my opinion. A long/longer warranty doesn't necessarily equate to a better product. Both Snap On and Harbor Freight have lifetime warranties on their tools, but you won't find many professional mechanics rocking the HF. Just saying....

My friend uses the Festool polisher onhis boats. He really likes it but it's pretty expensive

Your example of Snap On and Harbor Freight is not the same, as the rotaries do not have the same warranties.
Both are very good rotaries, so much so that I would call it a tie and that's why I choose the longer warranty.

I guess you're right about my example, but I think it's obvious where I was going with it. Warranties are a marketing gimmick IMO and often times don't represent the actual quality of the product. Sure they'll fix it or replace it when it fails, but that gets old fast if it keeps failing. Probably not the case here, (in an earlier post I said I liked my 849X) but I think it's still worth mentioning. Perhaps using Griots and Rupes would've been better?

Snap on warranty suck! Craftsman doesn't have the comfort like snap on but the warranty is the best. 1 for 1 trade on the spot! I find rusted up craftsman tools on the street and I'm able to trade it in right there.

Didn't Sears just sell their Craftsman line?

2 weeks ago I went to a garage sale and bought some jacked up craftsman screwdriver and ratchets and trade it in.

That's the reason Sears sold the Craftsman line.
