Thank you Don.  I saw an assortment of 'nine' 18volt power tools by Hitachi, 
last pm, at an excellent per tool price.  I don't really know which name 
brands in power tools are the best.  So, I appreciate the recoommnendation of 
Milwaukee by you, and Van Dell.  Have fun with your family and , again, 
thanks ................bobford
