There was an earlier post about this, but it got no attention.
I stumbled across a couple places selling O'Malley tools. Boy are they cheap! And they actually *look* pretty good. How about a 3 hp plunge router with soft start, ball/roller bearings, vacuum port, edge guide, case for $80?
They have a circular saw, a battery drill, a biscuit jointer, and a jig saw. All at about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of equivalent name brand tools.
Somebody in our group needs to buy one of these and report back!
Google "O'Malley tools" and you'll find a couple places selling them. I have to think they are about like the harbor freight chinese tools, , but with a nicer brand and look. I avoid the Chinese tools like the plague- especially anything that involves electricity. There are exceptions, however. My Rong Fu mill-drill is real "pretty good".
