Hey Guys,


I'm moving soon and my first order of business is to have a workshop.  It will be roughly 14 x 31.  My main order of business
is power tools.  I'm really kind of a dewalt guy, have a few of their tools, but I'm being realistic and know I cannot afford to furnish a
shop with all dewalt.  I'm looking at the Ryobi stuff now and wanted some opinions, I have their weedeater and its been great, but not sure on the power tools.  I welcome all opinions.  Here are the tools I will start with

Router ( currently have a Craftsman, collar slips, ack )
Drill
Table Saw  ( I plan on doing more than cabs in the future )
Jigsaw


Gimme some advice plz

I received a 12V Ryobi cordless drill as a gift when we bought our first house a few months back, seems to have decent battery life -- granted, it IS only a few months old, but I've been very happy with it.  I think their other tools use the same battery packs.  Not sure what anyone else's opinion is about Ryobi, but for the price, they seem like a good deal.
