Totally agree ...weight to power ration is crucial IMHO...and that's where the Makita 18v LiIon kit ROCKS...Plenty of Power and NOT heavy at all!!! Even their sawzall works great. The cordless grinder (super convenient sometimes) DOES slow down if you bear down on it ALOT, but it is also thermally protected, so you can't hurt it. All of the other tools are AWESOME.
