Dotco Vs Cleco

[oldtools]

Which brand is better for tools like pneumatic drill and grinder?

 

[A_Pmech]

Six of one, half a dozen of another. Both brands produce good quality pneumatic tools.

They are built by the same manufacture I believe probable not much difference .

I have a strong preference for Dotco drills and angle grinders.

If they are owned by the same company, why don't differentiate them so they don't compete against each other. I am looking to get a used pneumatic drill and was wondering which one is better.

For a drill or angle grinder go with Dotco. Cleco for the rest.

they are both good tools. just be aware that the dotco parts are EXPENSIVE when you need to rebuild/replace parts.

dotco/cleco/jiffy/rockwell, can't go wrong with any of them.

Can't compare, but I've got a Dotco (did a thread about it a while back) and it's been great for extended use on tough materials.

Bought myself a Dotco pneumatic drill today at the swap meet for $30. It is a slow speed (500 RPM) drill. It is really smooth but seem too slow. I also bought an IR impact hammer/chisel for $20. It is too difficult to see, but there is an etching that say..
