You have to consider the guarantee too. If I can get a Ryobi or similar
with a 2 year guarantee, from a supplier I expect to honour it, I figure
it's a low risk "investment". Having said that, I love my Fein multi-tool
.....
Hobby use can be harder on power tools than trade use - tell me you haven't
pushed a tool to the limit to get the job done, rather than go out and buy
something more suitable. ( Glen excluded, I blame him for the Fein ... )

Re guarantees
I'm giving my offspring some cheap watches purchased recently in China. The
come with a guarantee in three parts.
1) They are guaranteed to be fake
2) They are guaranteed to have worked when demonstrated
3) The guarantee lasts 60 seconds after payment.

If a tool craps out and it's Sunday and you're at the boatyard, a warrantee
is not much comfort.

I had a bunch of 1/4 inch holes to drill and tap in some mild steel. I had
two battery drills one top of the line Dewalt and one cheapo model. They
both seemed to have the same amount of power but with the cheaper model I
went through bits like crazy. I finally discovered that due to the cheap
bearings in the cheap drill there was vibration in the chuck which
ultimately ate the bits. In this instance the cost of the bits far out
weighed the savings on the cheaper drill.

However, if you must have it on-board, and you have the aux power to
drive it, cut a hole in the upper deck and lower it in place.
