put it on my Christmas list for the wife to look at, and I wanted to know what
you all thought would be good. I narrowed it down to two (same price,
they're both $80 bucks). Are they the same, or is one a little better
than the other. I copy and pasted the descriptions from Sears Craftsman
below. Thanks! , Matthew</span></font></p>
