If paid by the hour...
Ryobi 😎😂
😆 🤣 😂
If you want cheap!
Aye man Ryobi has never failed me yet. I use Milwaukee at my shop though so my Ryobi tools do not get used that much. They made a 4 stroke weed eater and it is probably the best weed eater I have ever had next to a Stihl I used to own
@@kaleb5426 Ryobi never failed me either 🤪😜
I don't use them 🙈😂😮
Pretty slick.
Best tool brand is the one you can afford. They all get the job done
Perfectly said somebody who actually smart and has wisdom about that
Perfect!!! Answer
If the brand you are using keeps breaking down, it might do the job, but it’ll cost you in time and money spent on fixing it.
Here in Europe/UK makita is still one of the biggest brands for power and longevity. Whereas dewalt seems to be a throw away tool once it breaks and Milwaukee are known for being powerful but failing prematurely and being difficult to repair by design. I’m guessing makita is not as popular in the states as they’re not as well supported or have a poorer manufacturing standard?
Agree with this... Unless you're a chippie then its Fes all the way 👍🏻
Possibly because in the states they need to frame a lot of wooden buildings FAST
Is it fuck. Mikita has been dead for years
Makita is known to be good usually bosses carry them I think they are very expensive in America
Here in America we get the china made makita brand. Over seas I believe you guys get it straight from Japan. Way to buy makita is through eBay and with Japanese lettering on it. It's the best out there no lie.
Dewalt sealed head ratchets are second to none. And the dcf961 is a straight beast.
To be fair the project name was literally project ludicrous, and it literally gives performance that only a 3/4 Misskita XGT can offer, and the only two to defeat it are the IR 2080-6 and the Milwaukee 2868-22HD, which are both 1" D-handle, that said Milwaukee is catching up in the one handed impact wrenches
Milwaukee does have a good 12 volt line
Love my M12 stuff it’s little and nimble
Plumber here, Milwaukee will get that bolt in or twist your wrist !!! Love it.
They also have a press tool line that’s really solid, so big red is often a good choice for plumbers
I have both but my dewalt half inch impact has way more power than my Milwaukee did
@@WillSwingemDewalt 1/2 impact is a beast. Very underrated tool.
Dewalt has not let me down, dropped my impact driver off a 2 story barn roof, works fine, getsit clogged with cement and cement dust, blow it out, and it still works fine. Dewalt, guaranteed tough.
I’ve been told by a contractor who used to do construction this one rule:
If you’re paid by the hour get dewalt
If you’re paid per job get Milwaukee
I’ll be stealing those lines!
@@cappalott6646never heard of the 20v milwaukees, guess I need to be on the lookout
20 years invested in my dewalts and never a failure. Milwaukee didn't get big in cordless tools like 8 10 years ago. But both good tools
I say, why not both! Nothing wrong with 2 battery platforms. I wouldn’t go more than 2 but both brands have solid performers. 20v max and m12 tools complement each other very nicely.
I'm a makita guy. Have a bunch of ryobi and have not been disappointed. Between these 2 I'd go with Milwaukee
Dewalt for me because they’re sold at both major stores, usually better sale prices and I personally have had less failures. I’ve killed more Milwaukee stuff at work than dewalt. I like the way Milwaukee feels and operates better but from my personal use I want what works most reliably.
Ridgid lifetime warranty 💪👌
Finally, just an answer with an explanation. Thank you!
My pleasure
loving my Flex so far, but at the end of the day the best tool is still whatever you have the batteries for
I couldn't make up my mind, so I have both.
Self employed handyman I use Milwaukee just cause I bought a kit when they very first made cordless tools. My Pap told me years ago “you ever get a new sawzaw, get a Milwaukee” so I did and never changed. I believe they were first ones to make the original sawzaw
60V dewalt is underrated asf
*over rated*
I'm a Milwaukee man despite being a DIYer. I had a great experience with their warranty and enjoy that they will take anything you throw at it. If it's not FUEL, I'm not going.
I have had the complete opposite experience with my Milwaukee fuel drill. Gearbox self destructed using a hole saw and warranty wouldn’t cover anything. I wish I went with Dewalt.
Once you buy your first battery, you've picked your brand. you'll buy which ever tools because you bought that battery
pfft. I have almost every brand. I have 6 impact drivers, 4 hammer drills, 6 drill drivers. 12 v,18 v, 24 v batteries. batteries dont influence my decision. if anything, I move to a different brand cuz of batteries. case in point Rigid batteries suck ass but their impact drivers are tanks
That’s so true ,knowing how expensive they are. Unless you’re a hard hitting contractor career guy. Then you’d most likely go to the one you like best . But true on the battery thing for the average man.
DeWalt life 💯👊🏼
Rigid is the only one with full lifetime warranty on everything including charger
Yeah, no it’s gonna break quick. You gotta depend on that lifetime warranty.
Have both, like both, prefer Dewalt drills and saws and Milwaukee impacts and recips.
I treat my hammer drill like a hole hawg. I’ve smoked it twice and still do 6 and 3/8 holes with it. The drill now has a natural flex between the two half’s. The only thing hate on impact is the anti strip mode get switched by it self. Milwaukee
Ridgid seems to have a good balance between speed and power.
Agreed
@@ToolswithSoAlz It’s too bad that Ridgid is overlooked by so many people in the trades.
I honestly think it's cuz their lineup's not big enough They don't make enough different types of tools. If Home Depot treated them like Sears did Craftsman and they had everything I think they would I have a much bigger presence. every time I go into a Home Depot I can't believe how much shelf space Ryobi has, I get why Milwaukee has shelf space TTI pays for it. but why Home Depot devotes so much space to Ryobi I don't know since it's basically like their low end house brand, since they're the only official retailer of it.
@@darrenporsch It’s pretty ironic, because AEG has a huge lineup. The bear loves to use it to justify his claim that Ridgid is dead.
I have a video coming up on this very thing
That's why I use Craftsman.
i work in hvac and electric work and bauer always does the trick,
just get a 5AH battery for each tool you're using and you'll be more than fine
I got them both just to have a peace of mind😅
My Milwaukee tools sank with my car and were submerged for over an hour in brackish water (long story), and after being hoisted from the water everything in the car appeared to be ruined. But I decided to wash down the Milwaukee tools with the garden hose and wait for them to dry to give them a go. Although bearings appeared to have been affected slightly, the m12 compact impact, m12 die grinders, and m18 high impact all worked as normal. I’ve used them for years since without any issues thus far. Truly amazing, especially when you consider they all had charged batteries installed when they’d been submerged.
I find dewalt to be higher quality and much more durable overall
I find that your wrong lol
I have to agree with you after owning a Milwaukee drill. I have never had a Dewalt fail and my Milwaukee fuel didn’t last two years.
Huh. No dewalt is overrated. I work as a commercial plumber and I can tell you on most commercial sites I would 85% of the power tools being used by most trades is Milwaukee. Sure you see some dewalt. But those dewalt guys are constantly asking to use my Milwaukee impacts drill and drill driver. They keep wanting to use them because they say that the dewalt drills can’t do the work.
@@joshuamiller3865😂😂 you wish!
Problem with both of them is that they have too many variations of the same tool. Which DeWalt you use or which Milwaukee you use can make a big difference. Some DeWalt are no better than Ryobi and some are every bit as good as any Milwaukee.
Dewalt sir. Just incase i need to go to lowes instead of home depot
Craftsman hasn't failed me yet and is half the price
Not old stuff but it works good with newer batteries I wonder who made older craftsman power tools black decker I bet still
I like Dewalt because they have 60v series.
Youre wrong. Makita is great. Milwuakee is just a safe bet and trendy. Dewalt will never let you down.
Honey, this isn't 2012
@@ToolswithSoAlzMakita hater !
Dewalt r 💩💩m8
@@YagrumBagarnHe is a Milwaukee fan guy LOL! Of course Makiita is way better in terms of reliability! Japanese made > Chinese assemble! If I have a second choice it would be DeWalt though. Mil-wacky is overpriced/overrated 🤣
@jaytaripe2145 princess, literally nothing you wrote is true. You're a fragile little Makita fangirl who buys tools to match her purse, pumps, and panties
Dewalts last for years and years if u get the made in america stuff you can expect years of reliability. Ryobi beats DeWalt in terms of sturdy though, DeWalt is just something thats made to keep going for years at a proper speed and proper strength. Milwaukee is power and speed and compactness, they Break easy and don't last as long for everyday use. Ryobi will outlive you, but theyre usually slower sometimes weaker and their batteries suck. Dewalt is kinda like the middle ground when you want something to last for a good while and yet you want to be comfortable and not be needing for anything, i mean come on, dewalts batteries are the best
@@fancraft1266 yeah I did tin water tanks for a long time, everyday we would use impacts for hours, my foreman was the one that let me know that the ryobis are made to be dropped from 25ft up and end up cracking the poor concrete you're working over top of, dewalts can take a 20ft drop too but nothing like those bulky ass ryobis
Everybody’s experience different, tools change faster than phones , all of the brands have made good tools by now and out shining each other in one way or another. Even ryobi toolz is comparing 2023 2024 tools with each other and all tools are making more accessories that run off newest battery technology
I’m a big fan of rigid and milwaukee, I’ve used both and they hold up great, my buddy is on his 3rd Dewalt XR drill already lol
Agree completely power vs speed. Also another note is realibility I was team red all the way specially the m12 but got a lot of yellow team as gifts and started building me yellow army and decided to take it to war and rest the red team. General maintenance and general contracting and electrician. The dewalt is more durable than the milwaukee last longer. So I officialy retired my red team they are the vets working in my cars and home projects now. Also depends what trade you at. My father was V18>makita>m12> now convincig him battle by battle of the yellow army. Brother is Ridgid>Kobalt>Haart yes hes adopted.
I feel like millwaukee looks more professional.
What I’ve noticed is that most of Milwaukee tools are way better the Dewalt but there are some Dewalt tools that beat the Milwaukee tools
Red gang for sure. Wide variety of tools to get any job done that you need. If looking for cheaper then ryobi would be a good choice with their huge range of tools
I got a Milwaukee tools set when I was at Homeless Despot about 20+ years ago and stuck with them because, you know, "Batteries" and they've been alright for me. A home DIY'er... I will admit, the brushless tools have noticeably a lot of torque.
Ryobi nobody will steal them
I love my craftsman stuff only because I have a bunch of batteries for them, and they perform pretty well for being kinda cheap. If I didnt have all of those batteries though, I'd definitely go for Milwaukee, everything I've used from them has worked great.
Craftsman even in a trade ain't bad, the issue is that they're bulky as hell.
I'm all over the place, M12 for most projects, Ridgid 18V for saws and impacts/drills and DeWalt 20V for yard tools, plus their router and oscillatinv tool.
HD's free tool w/batteries sale got me.
hey Bosch ain't bad either, had mine for 15 yrs, still running strong
Bosch 12v was great in the beginning, but they didn't invest in it like Milwaukee and now even Lowes stopped carrying it.
I started out with makita and started getting milwakkee stuff
As a mechanic, I say both. Dewalt 20Vmax and milwaukee M12
Kobalt is cheap an effective i have been in the trades for 18 years an blue is my brand
They are both fine. I work in the oilfield I’ve seen companies use both. We have dewalt tools that are quite literally outside 24/7 until the pad is complete. Rain,snow,90° days they remain outside for weeks/months at a time and are covered in sand,grease,fuel and still work great. Milwaukee tools also do a great job. That being said I’ve always been able to find a lowes or somewhere else that sells dewalt tools close by. I can never find a Home Depot or other Milwaukee supplier near by
Кращий інструмент той який довго та якісно служить в роботі.
Ціна-якість.
Не забуваємо що за інструментом потрібен догляд та обережність в користуванні.
А насправді,це вибір смаку можливості та бажання.
I will say i still have my 18v Dewalt hammer drill... its been dropped, under water in a flood, thrown, and is still kicking azz. The new studd i would be a bit worried about. I see mist of young tradesmen using Milwaukee and dropping them ... They dont seem to survive well . Power wise ill give the advantage to them though, but power does little good when they dont work. Buy what you like. Dont let fanboys convince you. Feel how the tool feels in your hands. Personally Glocks are loved by most, but when i held a Beretta 92 FS❤❤❤❤
Literally comes down to the skill and experience of the fella using them.
I worked for a company and used milwaukee for almost 4 years. Ive never seen a Milwaukee drill last more than a year with everyday use. Chucks tend to be the first thing to wear out on them.
I have 4 in my truck right now. Not a single problem. Couple are 4 years old, one is 2 years, and newest is a couple months but still, I haven't been easy on them either. Two of my coworkers Makitas on the other hand had 3 chuck clutch failures within a month of buying them. I'm not saying there are bad. Probably just had a bad couple by chance.
I have two brushed one is a hammer drill, I have 2 brushless. Purchased the autostop drill recently. I'm not being easy on them either, Im talking 6 inch hole saws, 1 1/2 spade bits and so on. Thousands of holes, most are half inch through steel.
In case someone is wondering why I have so many, I started with the brushed non hammer drill because I was broke, then got a used brushed hammer drill for $30, when I had more money I bought the brushless for extra power and battery life, I bought the autostop brushless because I broke my hand being careless drilling through steel. Didn't want to do that again.
Your company knows the chucks take 30 seconds to replace right?
Great advice! I started with yellow never went to red 20 years later.
I have both can't complain
Granted i work in aviation and marine but for electric tools i got milwaukee 12v and bosch pro 18v. Both are excellent at what they do and cant fault either of them.
24 year commercial electrician here. My company started with Dewalt and they were ok but we constantly had to have the chuck fixed. About 12 years ago switched to Milwaukee and have been using the same drills and they get dropped plenty of times .
As a fellow sparky i know thats a lie. Everyone of my staff that has bought milwaulkee tools has had multiple battery and trigger fails within months of ownership.
I would say, go with the brand that is available locally + has good warranty+within your budget. You can always upgrade or change.
If I was a pro I definitely have Milwaukee I still remember using one of their power tools as a kid I couldn't believe how much power the thing had. The thing put two inch drywall screws into pressure-treated beams like it was nothing
Dewalt man here.
I support 🏳️🌈
Lol
Brave of you to come out like that
I’m sorry lol
Forget about all that talk about that amazing chopsaw set up
I got Milwaukee but the most experienced and best workers don’t care about what tools u just need the skills
I’ve spent around $450 on just about every brushless power tool/battery/charger from harbor freight on sale and I’ve never had one fail or not complete a task
If I had to start all over again it would be m12. They are just so much smaller and nicer to use. Haven't personally needed extra power.
If you're new to ta trade buy into your savings, insurance and retirement investments. Initial tool purchases should meet your budget restrictions before anything else. Tools can always upgraded later but catching up on retirement savings is next to impossible.

Dewalt for carpenters, Milwaukee for everyone else
I bought dewalt .for framing it works
Im gonna be honest here. I was a heavy duty diesel mechanic for years and now I am a full time college student, getting ready to be a history teacher. I used dewalt for heavy duty impact fasteners, bolts, cut offs, grinding, and tons of other stuff you could only imagine. Many people had milwaukee but they were always coming to me for my dewalt tools and cordless impact wrenches. As long as a tool gets the job done it does not matter! But for that type of profession dewalt performed better. Just an opinion but choose whats best for you!
If you are new to the trades?
Unpopular opinion, but start with Harbor Freight. Hear me out.
1) you won't start out being in a lot of debt. You won't make much money when you start in any profession. Starting out in life, the best thing you can do for yourself is to have as much of a positive cash flow as possible.
2) you learn how to use your tools. You learn which ones you rely on the most. No point in spending 1500 bucks on a tool you use once a month. As you learn, do gradual upgrades several lines to find what works for you.
3) you can get pretty much any tool you want at HF. Some lines don't have as full a line as others.
They have made great strides
Best of both worlds...3 speed Dewalt.
I have both brands, the milfukee is soooooo slow. I rarely use it.
Me personally I have dewalt because my first power tools I bought was a drill+impact kit when I was 16 or 17 and now that I work for a company that requires you to have your own power tools I just use what I already have, plus the company I work has a stockpile of the really nice dewalt stuff they’ll give you if you break your own and I can always count on someone having an extra battery to borrow if the 3 I have died before the day is over
I’m a Dewalt guy all the way have been for over 40 years
I’m sorry
Harbor freight. Hercules and Bauer. Both work great, have had them for years without issue.
And before you ask, no, i don't care that your dewalt can survive a 3 story fall into concrete when mine will break. Because i don't abuse my tools.
Got a dewalt dcf911b half inch impact. Awesome for pulling tires off. Used it to change front and rear brakes on my Ford explorer when I was road-tripping to Utah.
I like whatever gets the job done.
METABO HPT…All Day, best ergonomics in the game…!!
The main reason I went with Dewalt is it’s the most comfortable to handle for me, fits in my hand the best.
I use Craftsman shit. It’s made by same company as DeWalt and most of the Craftsman tools are literal clones of the dewalt stuff at half the price. Plus it’s good enough for the shit I do anyway.
Dewalt
Forklift field service technician here, and I use Milwaukee, but I have so Dewalt, but they are left at home
Depends on your trade too
Ryobi cuz i only need a drill to hang up stuff 🤓
8 years with ryobi with nothing breaking, no bad batteries yet.
At home I love the Ryobi systems and have used them for 20 years. They are awesome and cannot be matched for the price.
At work (I am a factory mechanic) all we use is Milwaukee. They are plenty fast and they are Torquie.
I work in -20 and -40° temperatures often within my factory. The Milwaukee batteries will last for hours in the cold.
If you want to read an interesting article look up, why is Milwaukee red lithium, batteries special and read the history. Their battery is patented and they are incredible batteries. Nothing can touch a Milwaukee battery (red lithium battery).
However, you get what you pay for and Milwaukee is not cheap. There are my two cents and experience with Milwaukee.
Get the one you prefer, they’re both great brands.
DEWALT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️
I used to work in maintenance and started with DeWalt stuff. Ended up having to warranty my impact and drill both once due to a motor issue on the driver and trigger issue on the drill. just to have the impact driver fail again 6 months later. Switched to Makita and had no issues with it in the remaining time I had left with the company. I suppose they all can have their faults. Can be luck of the draw.
Was going to ask about Ryobi, Hercules et al for newbies, but then I heard “new to the trades” second go around was like nope, nevermind.
We’re unified against Makita, and that’s all that matters really.
Lol
Craftsman DeWalt
For me Hilti/Milwaukee. Nothing against dewalt, used them starting out in the trades and have a miter saw, not a fan of yellow but that tiny impact is tempting to scoop up
I worked in hvac for 29yrs and I have owned every damn brand and I will never buy anything other than Ridgid. They blow away anything I've ever had.
I have Milwaukee M12, Dewalt 18V and Makita corded tools. Prefer corded tools when it’s practical especially grinders.
i’m a milwaukee guy but i don’t have any problems with dewalt, it’s just that i’ve already bought into the milwaukee system so i’m kinda stuck
I install signage channel letters. Any types and the hart brand has not let me down once. Besides The battery being a little lacking
Have a little yellow but mostly red… best two tool brands for me and Milwaukee usually wins in power and battery life, but dewalt tools are rather cheap and last a staggeringly long time compared to other tools that are the same price. Ahem Makita and ryobi anymore
Team Milwaukee all the way
De walt
Me personally I just like dewalt I think it’s just a really good brand really reliable
Milwuakee because 5 year warranty. Been an easy process the handful of times our shop has needed Milwaukee warranty repairs/replacements. Absolutely can not say the same experience was had with dewalt warranty.
My personal opinion between the two of them Milwaukee is the best overall tool brand when it comes to their electric tools of course because that's what we're speaking about. For the people saying for the money and blah blah blah I'm not talking about for the money I'm just saying in general the best tool brand. Of course you could make arguments with the best tools the one you can afford and so on but that has nothing to do with the actual best.
