Got the Milwaukee set yesterday, have a project this weekend so that will be fun, if anyone knows anyone who wants to buy craftsman 19.2V tools let me know. Ive got mine on ebay.

Ok I am thinking mainly Milwaukee, I may very well pick up this deal, I will get the circular saw when I sell some of the craftsman tools, although they may not be bad to keep for future eagle projects, you always need drills. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Combo-Kit-with-M12-Bluetooth-Speaker-and-Battery-3-Tool-2697-22CTB/206469013

07 Tacoma Access Cab V6 4x2 (next one will be 4x4) with the towing package. When I go full size I really like the 00-07 Silverado Quad Cab six foot bed. Main reason to go full size to me is easily towing over 2000lb. Can anyone explain the appeal of a lowered truck? to me its just stupid as hell.

Yeah I have no plans what so ever to buy Festool, partly cause I am worried that I will want all Festool and I already have Snap On so thats my best of the best tool budget. I think I have it down to Milwaukee, DeWalt, and possible Bosch. Honestly leaning to Milwaukee just because such a large range of tools. I would use them for both mechanicing and woodworking. I am planning on having only Li-ion batteries.

Ohh one other thing, the Tacomas (and Tundras I understand as well) do not have the best turn radius.

Im in Atlanta and I just bought a 07 Tacoma Access Cab V6 4x2 in Sept. I got a good deal at $14000 w/ tax. I get 15mpg in the city and 20mpg at 70mph, I towed the girlfriends 2000 Corolla back from Durham NC and going 60mph I was getting about 13mpg. I wouldn't want to tow cars with it much and defiantly not up big hills but it pulled through like a champ. That is with the tow package to be clear. For Tacoma's I understand they added another leaf to the rear suspension in 09. Best of luck.

Thanks for the replys, one other thing I should have mentioned, I like fixing shit, I do want something that is fairly easily rebuildable. I have heard that Milwaukee is great about this. Two friends of mine have Ryobi, I just am not impressed with them and am not planning on getting into Ryobi. I really like the Ridgid replacement battery deal, but I dont know anyone who has Ridgid so I dont know how complicated that is. I do want to get into a line thats got a lot of tools so I like Milwaukee for that. One tool I want to get in the future is a impact wrench, I already have an air impact gun, but Im sure I would use a cordless one if I had it. Honestly I just dont know much about Porter Cable or Bosch. Nope Im American

Hi, this is my first post thus I assume Ive done something wrong on the post, sorry. I am starting over on a 18V line, I have Craftsman 19.2 but I am selling them as all the batterys are dead. I am looking for any advice about which brand to get. I don't honestly use most of the tools all that much, I have the Makita 12V and that does most of the day to day drilling/screwing. I want to have a few tools of good quality that will last, above all I want tips on how to make the batterys last as long as possible and not have the 4 dead batterys I have now. I am not all that worried about the money. Basically my cordless needs are - hammer drill, impact driver, and circular saw. I figure I will expand the collection as I need different stuff. Thoughts?
