- Reliant is the house brand for Trendlines (mail-order) and Woodworkers Warehouse (their retail division), and, as such, is not available anywhere else (sort of like Craftsman and Sears). Alot of the Reliant stuff seems to be the generic, Taiwanese produced things you see from alot of discounters. If you are looking for a specific tool, you might want to post something here to see what a "Reliant-equivalent" would be from someone else.

- I've bought Reliant and will never again. Comparing Reliant vs Grizzly and Jet is a world of difference. Even where the tools of Reliant and Grizz/Jet are built in the same factory, to the same specs (which they aren't always) I would go with Grizz/Jet just do to the differences with Customer Service and manuals. I would not have been able to assemble and tune my Reliant Bandsaw with the provided manual. However the Grizzly manuals are -great-, well writen and easy to follow with great, clear photos
