Default Buying Power Tools in the Algarve

I wonder if anyone can reccomend anywhere in the Algarve to buy power tools (particularly woodworking tools as a table saw, mitre saw, router etc) which doesn't involve Leroy Merlin or Big Mat. I have nothing against either of those stores but they mostly seem to sell cheap end tools and their range is often limited. So I would like somewhere that offers more choice and better quality.

I prefer not to buy online as I like to be able to physically compare different makes...and also delivery of large items is always challenging where I live.

Any reccomendations gratefully received.

There's a Black & Decker shop which may stock DeWalt as well, just down the road from Loja de Cidadao/indoor market in Faro.

I don't know any shop selling professional shop tools like table saws, but the better hardware stores that sell to tradespeople have some items; Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, etc. routers angle grinders, miter saws, etc.

Gloria and Sylvester in Portimao for instance.

There is a festool dealer in Portimao too, but stock is limited. Portilaca, it's actually a paint shop.

OK. Happy to be corrected. But at least it adds to the variety available in that area.
