DeWalt - Circular Saw DW369
DeWalt’s model No. DW369 is very similar to the DW368, except the depth-of-cut lever is mounted outside the handle.

This saw is similar in design and features to the DW368. However, the depth-of-cut lever is mounted outside the handle for easier access (on the DW368, it pivots between the handle and blade housing). The sturdy baseplate offers clear lines of sight from either side of the blade. DeWalt says the base can handle drops off one story-but we didn’t test this claim. The DW369 has an electric brake and weighs 9.8 lb.
*Some DW368 and DW369 models with specific dates have been recalled. Call 888-839-3559 for more information.

Craftsman Random Orbit Sander
While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
