That said, I like my 18 volt Makita drills and impact drivers. And the portable Makita table saw is a beast. Most used are; Milwaukee Sawzall and hammer drill, Porter Cable circular saw, compressors, framing gun and couple finish guns. Dewalt miter saws (3), jig saw, and planer, Fein oscillating saw, Hitachi grinder, Jet bandsaw, joiner and lathe, Craftsman drill press, and Powermatic table saw, While I have not tried the knock offs, there is nothing like the Festool Track Saw, HEPA vac, RA sander, or Domino cutter. I have more invested in tools than I do in the boat or vehicles.

That's a juicy list, I think your name should be changed to Ross the Toolman. I've found my portable 1 ton vice from harbor freight to be invaluable for clamping and holding logs for some initial rough cuts, unfortunately on slip too close and your sharpening your saw blade.
ps: And who said we can't step outside of politics to find something fun to talk about.
