I'm a handyman. Involved in some framing, light assembling and miscellaneous home installations.
I know there is two forums already with each pros and cons, i apologize if this is one of those threads everybody hates, but this is driving me crazy, as i cannot decide (between Milwaukee m18 or Dewalt 20v/60v Flexvolt)
I owned a Brushless 20V DeWalt Impact, Hammer Drill, Recip. Saw and a FlexVolt Circular Saw.
Long story short, i lost those tools and while i have used Milwaukee before i had zero complains about DeWalt.
Milwaukee tools look nicer than DeWalt, and many, many people have tried to talk me into switching over, but Flexvolt looks like a game changer for the future. DeWalt is a little bit cheaper, but while money is important, since i am starting over i'd rather take the one that makes me happier, i'd like some feedback on which company should i rebuild my power toolbox.
I like how Milwaukee looks (red is my favorite color), they are the Apple of construction tools. I am kind of tech inclined, and i liked the OneKey system, the performance is usually "lower" than DeWalt, sometimes it makes it even with comfort, torque, convenience (rafter hooks and attention to detail), but something tells me, Milwaukee sooner than later will annouce a new lineup of high voltage tools to compete (with Makita 36, Dewalt 54).
DeWalt is known to be reliable, i like backwards compatibility for flexvolt and 20v and power. I hate the yellow, really.
I would love your input on which to choose, i love Milwaukee attention to detail, i believe Dewalt's power, if you have experience or own both, i'd love the input, thanks.
