DR99 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yea that's one thing Dewalt and Bosch has over Milwaukee, but you can still buy the other brands storage options. I don't know if they think the storage market is saturated, or they are just more concerned about designing more tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter4187 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Conductor do you think Milwaukee is more professional than Milwaukee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm not conductor but I would say Milwaukee is more professional over Dewalt. Milwaukee is more trade oriented towards plumbers and electricians. Where as Dewalt is more set up for general carpentry they do have some diagnostic tools but not nearly as many as Milwaukee.

Conductor562 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 At some point over the last 3 or 4 years the manufacturers have each began catering more to specific trades than others. Milwaukee has tended to lean toward Plumbing/HVAC, Electrical, and Maintenance trades, Dewalt has continued to focus more on Carpentry/Framing, Seemingly all Bosch's new products have been more concrete/masonry related, and Makita....well Makita doesn't seem to give a damn anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Wray Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Cool Chase! I'm also looking forward to the video. You are going to give Dan and Eric some competition. You know I have been thinking about what you said Chase about Milwaukee coming out with their own tool storage system like DeWalt and Bosch. If someone was inventive, they could cut out the inside of Milwaukee's plastic tool containers, then attach some type of fasteners to the outside sides so they can connect together. Volia, you got a tstak, tough box, or Lboxx equivalent. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah thats a good idea, An ocilating tool would work great for cutting the inside of the boxes out, then install some type of after market rubber seal to make it watertight and some foam for the inside, Milwaukees cases are already pretty structurally tough, a lot more than dewalts blow molded cases...

Conductor562 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I cut out the inside of a blow molded Milwaukee case with a multi-tool once. My little boy uses it as his toolbox. Multi-tool worked well for the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe M Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 For sure. I have sold countless Milwaukee power tools to people who were originally looking at Dewalt. Personally I have the M12 Hammer Drill, Impact Driver, Hackzall, and Multi-Tool, and a couple of their hand tools. I think it is great stuff, and very infrequently have people bring the stuff back for warranty work or defects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 What brand do you warranty the most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe M Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Ridgid, which we are the warranty center for, and then Dewalts. For some reason, we tend to get a lot of Dewalts back with sticky or defective triggers. Most Ridgid products it is the batteries, which if registered have a life-time swap if they show up as being defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
