I found the 18V circular a bit light for most wood work. I also found the
batteries tend to go quick under prolonged and constant loads. Nice tools
for a quick job or repair though. Great for around the boatyard.

To bad Bobsprit isn't allowed to work on his boat at the boatyard. He'd buy
a set in a jiffy!
