Looking for a man with experience using his tools: longevity, durability, power, and knows what will last !?

What are the best Brand names to rely on when it comes to electric sanders, and chainsaws?

I've burned out 3 sanders within a small amount of time, and I need to use them 5 days a week 6 hours a day.. meaning all 3 going for 3 hours at a time with a half hour break between the next 3 hours..

and the chainsaw, although I mix as directed, it seems to have bad days where it just doesn't want to run AT ALL..I mean 2 hours messing with it to get it going and keep it going just isn't right!(I'm going to try remixing the gas and oil with 50 to 1 ratio to see if that helps any)

But what brands do you rely on to not bog down, burn out.. these are the only tools I seem have problems with.

I've been told DeWalt 'anything' is worth an investment in (and was suggested in electric sanders).. but in chainsaws, I have no idea..I have two but the John Deere CS36 is the one I am frusterated with, and has always ran poorly, what's best that will last and run like I need it to ALL the time?
Thank You Ladies For the Reminder !!..

    My husband the builder suggests:

    Sander: Porter Cable
    Chainsaw: Husqvarna (expensive but worth the investment)

    "husquavarna" is a great chainsaw my dad uses them for logging and normally they just need the chains replaced. Have you tried a Dewalt sander? My husband loves the Dewalt brand:) (Girls can have answers too)

    Rather than simply brand name, perhaps you should look for commercial tools.

    Bosch
    pricey
    but well built
    most cabinet shops use them and dewalt tools
    though i prefer Porter cable, Milwaukee and Bosch myself, with some Hitachi thrown in here and there

    try the polutans. we have a 18 inch polutan wild thing. it is supper quiet and is easy to run. husquvana has very big ones a friend of mine had a 50cc one(HUGE) even had a compretion relese on the side for starting. the big powerful saws make a nice cut, but are tiresome to cary. he also had a bogging down problem with it. he sent it in and they fixed it right up.

    for your curent one, try taking the carb apart and cleaning it out. the carb is almost always the biggest problem with any engin.

    sanders, try the biggest one you can use for the job. that would certaninly be the most powerful and durible.
