Back in '91 I bought a B&D sander that lasted all of 45 minutes. I returned it to the store and was told that B&D had turned to real garbage since the company had been bought by Clorox? or some other non-tool company. I don't know if it's still true, but I've steered clear of B&D ever since.
As for Walmart equipment, you know that a lot of what they sell is built on a separate line in order to keep costs down. Quality suffers. I've heard that Levi jeans sold at Walmart aren't even close in quality to the Levis sold at, say, Mervyns.
I like DeWalt a whole lot. I've got the 14V cordless drill that I really like, but I think I'd have been happier with the 18V version.
