    METABO

    I have Metabo corded and cordless gear. Bought one of the first cordless kits nearly 20 years ago. One of the two original batteries is still going but retired to home use. The 2.2 ah early Metabo battery has performed better than the new Dewalt 5 ah battery in my latest cordless Dewalt kit. I have had issues with Dewalt batteries although the tools work fine and are maybe a bit flashier looking however I am ditching my 1 year old full set of Dewalt cordless as their tools are no good without a decent battery and their warranty service is awful(two weeks to find out it will be 8 more weeks before they can replace a 6AH 54V Flexvolt battery). This being said I will never be qualified to comment on durability of the Dewalt tools, although my corded Dewalt circular saw is still awesome after 15 + years of light use . I work my tools hard in trade use and have also had Panasonic, Hitachi and Makita cordless tool kits over the years. According to tool shop guys I have spoken to Metabo has the best warranty service, however I have never had to use it as their tools I own are all still going strong without issue. I would say if you are talking home use, any brand will do. I know plenty of trades and see a good representation of most brands in the field. Trade use, Im going with Metabo...Mostly for the bullet proof battery but also 20 years /no issues with the tools....Im sold on Metabo and will be upgrading the Dewalt kit to Metabo.
