Cordless tool sets?

I beat the hell out of my Milwaukee tools regularly and they just keep coming back for more. Everything from the big boy impact to the cordless circular saw to the ratcheting wrenches to the bluetooth jobsite speaker. Couldn't be happier with their products.

 

All of my stuff is Makita. When I purchased my first set, Makita was the big player in Supercross (Rockstar Makita Suzuki), and I was a motocrosser at the time. Gotta support the sport!

Bought an HP laptop recently specifically because of their sponsorship in Moto2. Don't think I have seen another computer brand represented in the paddock. Or at least, I can't think of one.

 

FYI...All of the Milwaukee and Dewalt kits are back on sale today. If you missed last time here's your chance...

I have the craftsman nextec system and I absolutely love it. Does the job for me around and the house and in the garage.

I am a Ryobi guy. All the tools use the same battery. They have over 100 tools all on the same battery, even their lawn and garden tools. I used to be a dewalt and porter cable guy, but I got tired of them changing the batteries. So Ryobi it is.

 

but Ive seen ryobis powered by dewalt 20v batteries...lol

 

Hey I remember there was a lot of makita and Milwaukee fans on this thread. Anyway while looking for my latest makita addition I came across sweet deals going on with both makita and Milwaukee At toolnut.com
In my case I was picking up the makita XWT08Z impact (the big dog) And always look for the tool only deals. Anyway it was priced right plus included a free new 5.0ah battery as well. Both makita and Milwaukee deals going on along with others.

 

Bumping this thread - Ryobi has stepped their game up with their "HP" series. I've got their 1/2" impact and hammer drill, and will get their 1,200 foot pound 1/2" impact when it comes out in the fall.

 

I have pretty much Ryobi everything and I love their stuff, great price and performance.

 

I'm all in with Ryobi too ... after Ryobi days I have about 10-11 tools and 5 batteries.

The hedge trimmer is no joke

 

as someone who uses power tools every fucking day all day. Milwaukee is the best for the money. Hands down. Beat power. Best life. Best torque. Best resilience. That is of course unless you can afford snap on Matco or Mac

 

Still love my Porter Cable 20V stuff, but wanted another drill and came across a good deal at Lowes on their Kobalt 24V line- $100 off $300 on top of sale prices. Ended up getting 3 brushless drills, each with a 2 and 4 ah battery, charger, belt clip, handle, and bag for $257. Haven't used them yet, but the build quality seems very nice.

 

I also use them everyday and we have Milwaukee and Makita and I think makita is better myself. I used to be a dewalt fan until I got my hands on a Milwaukee which made me realize dewalt kinda sucked. Then my work picked up some makita as well and I started to like them better.

 

Just used one of them, and it's nice, but one gripe- there's no bit holder on the drill itself; you have to screw on the belt clip which has a bit holder. Really don't need that or want it in the way.

 

makita doesn’t make the kind of tools I use for vehicles

 

My 3/4" drive Milwaukee knocks the lugnuts loose on our semi trucks

If you're in the building trades as an electrician, plumber, pipefitters etc.....its gonna be pretty hard to beat the Milwaukee m12 and m18 platform

 

Had to use my M18 grinder/cut off wheel this wknd to cut off (3) broken axles on some Polaris RZR's on our ride this wknd in TN. Solid steel, 3/4" thick axles....oh , and had to cut off part of my rear bumper after being asspacked by a drunken idiot at 25 mph in the damn mountains. $1000 exhaust crushed too.

I carry all that shit with me on the trails.....1/2" impact, sawzall, grinder, etc.

 

I bought a Makita combo kit recently. HD had it on sale. Never knew I had a use for cordless tools. So far, I've used each one. The vacuum gets used every time...my garage gets cleaner every day!
If I ever expand upon what I have, it'll be a Milwaukee impact and multi-purpose (oscillating) tool, but that means having to get batteries and a charger, too.

I will admit they have their shortcomings and I resorted to my corded stuff on one project but, overall, the cordless are sooo handy.

YT's "Project Farm" guy sold me on the Milwaukee stuff. He does a tool bit vid also that compares brands. Interesting approach he has for his reviews on just about anything us garage types might find useful.
I've recently come under the impression that he's a welder, can't remember where I saw it, and Britt has at least one peer. The welds were beautiful.

 

Some nice DeWalt deals here today https://www.woot.com/plus/dewalt-de-wow?ref=w_cnt_gw_dly_snb

 

I love my Makita tools, but the best part about it now is that I have ONE style of battery/charger to deal with and not four different types.
Much more convenient, as I now have batteries and double chargers in the house garage, the house basement and the pole barn/shop.
I ended up selling all my other stuff and buying Makita tools as I needed them or found a good deal.
Still have yet to find a reason for a new jigsaw.....so maybe I just don't need it.......but what does "need" have to do with buying tools?
