I’d say I am around 70% Milwaukee, and 10% for each of the others. Maybe less for ryobi. Makita just doesn’t seem to be what they once were, dewalt makes a banger drywall gun, def the only reason I still buy dewalt batteries.
I started with Makita in the late 80's and it was the cordless standard. But as batteries died, I ended up with the Porter Cable 20v kit and it's actually not terrible. I use the drill and jig mostly, the small circular saw is almost useless, but the sawsall isn't bad. I have had the same 2 batteries for like 15 years now. :rofl:

I’ve been pretty impressed with harbor freight’s newest cordless offerings from watching vids from the torque test channel on YT. They always seem to be in the top three

I threw a frozen and cracked egg off into the darkness when it was -5 out the other night. I heard a splat and the next AM came out and found this.

Frozen like a rock for 3 days, it finally came off this afternoon.

Best part is spouse has been driving the truck cause she's not allowed to drive her 6 speed manny tranny until she can put weight on her knee.

My Mom bought me this big suitcase full of Craftsmen Power tools. Over the years I have added a few of mostly corded Dewalt tools. Except for a Milwaukee skill saw that kicks ass. Bought extra blades and it's a champ.

Damn that looks like it froze almost immediately. As a long-time lover of throwing shit I must ask did you not realize this truck was in the darkness?

Haha yeah it appeared to freeze as soon as it hit my truck. I knew about where the truck was - it was very dark and I threw the eggs over my shoulder. I didn't think I was aiming at my vehicle though.
