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.
not necessarily. you can buy adapters for $15 that let you use batteries from brand A in tools from brand B yes, you can convert between 18v and 20v both ways
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
Ryobi used to be cheap back in the blue tool days. A four piece set was $200 but on sale was $100. You could throw them away and laugh. Now they aren't much cheaper than Dewalt. Went from niche to nonsense.
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
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?
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 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.
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 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 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.
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

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'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.
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
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 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.
Mobile mechanic here, Milwaukee are definitely the better choice for that line of work. The M12 stubby and right angle impact are damn good. Apart from the overpriced snap on I've rarely come across a mechanic using anything other than Milwaukee.
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
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 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.
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.
I’ve worked some really hard shitty job that needed strong tools and they all were 100% Milwaukee. That’s why I trust it, I’ve seen it with my own eyes be covered in thick dust 24/7 everyday for years and still get the job the done right
after having used basically all brands over the last 20-ish years I've come to realize that it doesn't really matter. Some are better and other things and vice versa. What I have noticed is that people who buy Ryobi never worry about if they left their tool unattended.
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.
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.
@littleguy5184 i collected so much RIDGID over 2 years. Got a transfer, in my company, from landscaper to construction, and started bringing personal tools to work. Now those Dewalt and Milwaukee guys are kicking my ass left and right lol. RIDGID is good enough, but nothing special.
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.
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.
I'm looking for a brand to interchange batteries among every tool. What you recommend? To start, a impact for the car, a leaf blower and someting for the lawn.

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.
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!
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.
milwaukee 100%. Yes a little bit more than the other guys but there’s so many tools on the 18v and 12v lines and they constantly come out with new tools. Dewalt is good for if you just need a specific tool and don’t care about new ones, dewault takes forever to update their models and make really nice and unique tools
Honestly if you're just starting out. Go with Rigid they have 8 tool combo kit that comes with 3 batteries. Plus lifetime warranty. And for under $400 it's no-brainer. It's basically got everything you need starting in any trade. And once you've made some money you can start upgrading to Milwaukee lol... Don't underestimate rigid, though, still my 5th gen hammer drill and and 7 ¼ circular saw are 2 of the best tools I own.
It’s not lifetime warranty it’s “lifetime service agreement” they will not replace a tool only attempt to fix it. It’s actually kind of garbage. I find that Milwaukee and Dewalts 5 year actual warranty ends up being a lot better
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
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
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.
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.
Hey honest question yall. Any and all input is welcomed. I’ve been using ryobi for many years but I’m looking to get a more professional brand and having a hard time choosing between Milwaukee and dewalt. I build cabinets in a shop so I don’t necessarily need the strongest of the strong since I’m not on a jobsite. Everyone at my shop has dewalt everything except for the 2 old guys that use misskita. Should I go for dewalt or Milwaukee? Help me out here yall! I typically don’t use fasteners any larger than 3” and mostly only 1-1/4 - 1-5/8 99% of the time.
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
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
Start of, star of is DeWalt, once your making money here and there buy Milwaukee. I made the mistake and got Milwaukee and somehow Im impressed with DeWalt new products
I use dewalt not because I'm a brand specific guy but because it was what was cheapest at the time and I've never had my impact fail to sink lag bolts and truss lock screws all day on the job. The company I work for used Makita and are now switching over to Milwaukee. Frankly they all do the job
I’ve noticed that the gen 4 milwaukee impact driver snaps a lot more fasteners than the old gen 3-3.5. I think it’s because of the higher impacts per minute.
i started with an off brand amazon one, the move on to dewalt and had a bad experience , then i got ryobi and it was decent then i got milwaukee and had the same drill for 3 years
If your a newbie get ryobi it's cheap they hold up good and have a huge selection... then when you make more money upgrade to milwaukee I have both milwaukee and ryobi
Nothing from both. The are good for rough shell construction, but for a fine Woodworker is Festool or Marfell better. Maybe Bosch. I thought Dewalt and Milwaukee are creat, but for Pure Woodworker are Festools and Marfell better more precision❤
That Sounds Spot on I Have to Agree Some day DeWalt will have Speed and Power 💪 but for now I will Go for DeWalt and Ridgid but I'm still going to throw a little Red pepper in there because I love Spicy 🔥
Chop saw and table saw electric corded Dewalt Electric drill Makita Rest of the handtools stuff, Milwaukee With a mention for multitool, nail gun and jigsaw 23 gauge nailer, the best is Ryobi 😂 I know crazy.
First of all, Makita drills are trash. Milwaukee hand tools are trash, and the video specifically talked about cordless tools of which the Ryobi is trash.
I’ve already committed to Milwaukee I just work in a small shop and I’ve never had one of my 6.0 high output batteries die so I think they are perfect with more than enough power and speed
I was once a DeWalt guy...I bought in to the 20v max line and even a flex folt tool or 2. But after I wore out my last DeWalt impact driver in a matter or a few months, I was pretty disappointed in the quality that is now DeWalt tools. I've made the switch to Milwaukee and let me tell you.....best thing I've done!!! Milwaukee will smoke DeWalt hands down on speed, power, and for sure battery life.
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.
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.
Now both can be seen as great and useful tools, it is just simply a fact that the milwaukee are more powerful and largely last longer than the dewault. Some see this heightened price tag as worth it, I sure do. Whilst my coworker has replaced his Dewalt XR impact a few times, my 4 year old gen 3 is still working just as strong as the day I bought it (I use it everyday in the hvac trade).

@littleguy5184 i collected so much RIDGID over 2 years. Got a transfer, in my company, from landscaper to construction, and started bringing personal tools to work. Now those Dewalt and Milwaukee guys are kicking my ass left and right lol. RIDGID is good enough, but nothing special.
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.
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
Dewalt all the way for me. Never has failed me even through tough heavy use. Milwaukee drills overheat very quick
I'm looking for a brand to interchange batteries among every tool. What you recommend? To start, a impact for the car, a leaf blower and someting for the lawn.
Just for a homeowner? Ryobi, Ridgid, or Kobalt
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 think Dewalt makes better drills and impacts but Milwaukee nailers are super nice to use especially the framing gun
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.
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!
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
Great advice! I started with yellow never went to red 20 years later.
Had Dewalt starting off but changed to Milwaukee 2 years ago bc of their battery life. Haven’t regretted that decision so far.
I like Dewalt because they have 60v series.
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
Me personally I just like dewalt I think it’s just a really good brand really reliable
Finally, just an answer with an explanation. Thank you!
My pleasure
For mainly automotive and some small engine repair work, which brand would you recommend? Ridgid? DeWalt? Milwaukee?
Dewalt
As a mechanic, I say both. Dewalt 20Vmax and milwaukee M12
The dewalt 20v xr line has been impressive to me. I love it.
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.
Kobalt is cheap an effective i have been in the trades for 18 years an blue is my brand
milwaukee 100%. Yes a little bit more than the other guys but there’s so many tools on the 18v and 12v lines and they constantly come out with new tools. Dewalt is good for if you just need a specific tool and don’t care about new ones, dewault takes forever to update their models and make really nice and unique tools
Honestly if you're just starting out. Go with Rigid they have 8 tool combo kit that comes with 3 batteries. Plus lifetime warranty. And for under $400 it's no-brainer. It's basically got everything you need starting in any trade. And once you've made some money you can start upgrading to Milwaukee lol... Don't underestimate rigid, though, still my 5th gen hammer drill and and 7 ¼ circular saw are 2 of the best tools I own.
It’s not lifetime warranty it’s “lifetime service agreement” they will not replace a tool only attempt to fix it. It’s actually kind of garbage. I find that Milwaukee and Dewalts 5 year actual warranty ends up being a lot better
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
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
I got them both just to have a peace of mind😅
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.
I remember my mom used to work at Ryobi. It was the best part tools back then .
Former dewalt guy and I switched over to makita XGT. I have no regrets
K
Same here
I have both can't complain
I have Milwaukee M12, Dewalt 18V and Makita corded tools. Prefer corded tools when it’s practical especially grinders.
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.
Hey honest question yall. Any and all input is welcomed. I’ve been using ryobi for many years but I’m looking to get a more professional brand and having a hard time choosing between Milwaukee and dewalt. I build cabinets in a shop so I don’t necessarily need the strongest of the strong since I’m not on a jobsite. Everyone at my shop has dewalt everything except for the 2 old guys that use misskita. Should I go for dewalt or Milwaukee? Help me out here yall! I typically don’t use fasteners any larger than 3” and mostly only 1-1/4 - 1-5/8 99% of the time.
Dewalt
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
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 got Milwaukee but the most experienced and best workers don’t care about what tools u just need the skills
Start of, star of is DeWalt, once your making money here and there buy Milwaukee. I made the mistake and got Milwaukee and somehow Im impressed with DeWalt new products
I use dewalt not because I'm a brand specific guy but because it was what was cheapest at the time and I've never had my impact fail to sink lag bolts and truss lock screws all day on the job. The company I work for used Makita and are now switching over to Milwaukee. Frankly they all do the job
I’ve noticed that the gen 4 milwaukee impact driver snaps a lot more fasteners than the old gen 3-3.5. I think it’s because of the higher impacts per minute.
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
Dewalt man here.
I support 🏳️🌈
Lol
Brave of you to come out like that
I’m sorry lol
what are your thoughts about bosch or hilti? i feel like here in europe they are way more common than dewalt or milwaukee
Hilti is for fleet services where the business is leasing the tools. Bosch, I love them, but no one is buying their power tools anymore.
i started with an off brand amazon one, the move on to dewalt and had a bad experience , then i got ryobi and it was decent then i got milwaukee and had the same drill for 3 years
Forget about all that talk about that amazing chopsaw set up
as a black and yellow user I can say this feels like a motion in the ocean argument which I don't think they need ah ty
K
Dewalt sir. Just incase i need to go to lowes instead of home depot
I started out with makita and started getting milwakkee stuff
If your a newbie get ryobi it's cheap they hold up good and have a huge selection... then when you make more money upgrade to milwaukee I have both milwaukee and ryobi
Nothing from both. The are good for rough shell construction, but for a fine Woodworker is Festool or Marfell better. Maybe Bosch. I thought Dewalt and Milwaukee are creat, but for Pure Woodworker are Festools and Marfell better more precision❤
Forklift field service technician here, and I use Milwaukee, but I have so Dewalt, but they are left at home
That Sounds Spot on I Have to Agree Some day DeWalt will have Speed and Power 💪 but for now I will Go for DeWalt and Ridgid but I'm still going to throw a little Red pepper in there because I love Spicy 🔥
I bought dewalt .for framing it works
Get the one you prefer, they’re both great brands.
I like both. Hammer drill/impact Milwaukee and DeWalt oscillating tools!
Chop saw and table saw electric corded Dewalt
Electric drill Makita
Rest of the handtools stuff, Milwaukee
With a mention for multitool, nail gun and jigsaw
23 gauge nailer, the best is Ryobi 😂 I know crazy.
First of all, Makita drills are trash. Milwaukee hand tools are trash, and the video specifically talked about cordless tools of which the Ryobi is trash.
I’ve already committed to Milwaukee I just work in a small shop and I’ve never had one of my 6.0 high output batteries die so I think they are perfect with more than enough power and speed
I was once a DeWalt guy...I bought in to the 20v max line and even a flex folt tool or 2. But after I wore out my last DeWalt impact driver in a matter or a few months, I was pretty disappointed in the quality that is now DeWalt tools. I've made the switch to Milwaukee and let me tell you.....best thing I've done!!! Milwaukee will smoke DeWalt hands down on speed, power, and for sure battery life.
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.
I install signage channel letters. Any types and the hart brand has not let me down once. Besides The battery being a little lacking
2024 Ryobi is inivating and reliable for anyone buying tools for basic use outside of a construction site. DIYs best friend
Best of both worlds...3 speed Dewalt.
I have both brands, the milfukee is soooooo slow. I rarely use it.
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.
Now both can be seen as great and useful tools, it is just simply a fact that the milwaukee are more powerful and largely last longer than the dewault. Some see this heightened price tag as worth it, I sure do. Whilst my coworker has replaced his Dewalt XR impact a few times, my 4 year old gen 3 is still working just as strong as the day I bought it (I use it everyday in the hvac trade).
