They are not made by emglo. Dewalt bought the emglo name and shipped everything to mexico. The closest you can get to an Emglo nowadays are these. Dewalt story included.

The "Emglo" dewalts don't last. I have never used a Jenny but I blindly bet they are better.

Re: New DeWalt Tools...


I just bought one of those 2.5 gallon Dewalt compressors and it is very quiet. My one gallon Senco can't keep up with a 16 gauge finish gun, only a 18 gauge brad nailer or smaller. I didn't want to lug around my 5 gallon twin tank compressor so I got the 2.5 gallon. Works good. Up to 150 psi and reloads in like 10 seconds. Lightweight and quiet.

Re: New DeWalt Tools...


i got the same compressor and i love it. i got a lot of dewalt stuff and i like almost all of it. if i had to go back i would have gone makita for the cordless set. i went with the makita avt recip saw and it is the best no joke i've beat that thing up and cut things the dewalt would never cut, blade change great.

That was the story for a long time. However, Dewalt seems to be stepping up, as the new 200psi models seem to get nothing but good reviews. I'll probably be getting one this summer.
