Title: Myth Busters Tool Challange
Post by: Nate on November 30, 2005, 02:20:44 AM
ok, i'd like to get some help from anybody hear...

i posted on the myth buster website to get something tested and i somehow doubt it ever will, but i want to try like hell to get it approved. my idea is to have the top brand tools compaired to each other and find out who is better than who. also i want them compaired to lesser quality brands to find out if craftsman realy holds up. iv seen alot of arguments in places about craftsman stuff being trash, but realy i think its people abusing them, so anyhow... hear is a link to my post on the forum, and a link to the show. i hope to have some people hear post on my message aproving it, so hopefully it gets some attention... the title is called tool quality

It's a good idea but I've never really seen them test any brand-name products on Myth Busters.  I think they probably do that for a reason.

Well I voted for you, I think they can do the test but probably wont give out name brands due to copy rights.

Well its not like they have to say the name "here is a tool that cost us a rediculous price of _____, and here's one we found in a cereal box"

Um, popular home improvements magazine did a drill test a month or so ago.  a high quality panasonic drill came out ahead.  They tested the 14.4 range.

Not a big fan of DeWalt here....They are basically re-badged Black & Decker products.....I'm partial to Milwaukee stuff.
