richwoodrocket Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Dewalt. I've had great experiences with customer support. I had a battery replaced by them for free, even though the tool was out of warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeldfabNeil Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 For power tools I usually go with millwakee.Hand tools I usually go with Armstrong, Proto, Klein, kinipex, millwakee, an then of course Mac, matco, cornwel an snap on. Ime sure ime forgetting some good brands as well. Welding stuff I go with miller electric.At the end of the day if it works I use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm a DIY and family repair man lol! I Was a super Dewalt guy till these guys I know......DR and Chrisk came into my life...lol. Great guys but watch out for those 2 they hooked me up on some milwaukee stuff and from there I've seen a lot more Red in my garage, the Milwaukee fuel tools are awesome m12 and m18 I gotta say the 2763 fuel 1/2 impact wrench is the KING of my garage and the shop At the moment. So all in all my Favorite brand is Dewalt but Milwaukee has that special spot in my Tool junkie heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Milwaukee. I was raised on Milwaukee. My old man is a sparkie by trade and that's just how it was haha. He is now the VP at his company and all of the tools in the shop that can be are Milwaukee (fuel as the old ones do the death march). I worked for his shop doing summer help during high school. I remember going to the supply house and picking up hammer drill combo kits and sawzalls 10+ at a crack and delivering them to the job sites. I knew if it made the guys on the sites happy it must be damn good. I started out as a framer and my old man bout me a V28 set cause he was proud that I joined him in the trades....haven't looked back!Now that I am in commercial I work for a GC that my Dads company is a sub to a lot of the time, so I still get to play with some of their new toys!

dwain Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 i love lots of brands, Bosch, Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, Channellock, etc. But i think in the end Bosch is my favourite because of their quality and the fact that 92% of their revenue goes to a charitable foundation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bosch_Stiftung 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I like Milwaukee, but all the brands make nice nice tools now really. They do have their own flavor Milwaukee is more electrical, hvac, and plumbing related. While the other trades tend to be more Carpentry/General Contractor oriented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteW Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 depends on the tool but generally DeWalt and Milwaukee, but more and more i feel like just milwaukee, hopefully we will see some cool things come out from the DeWalt media event this week.

dwain Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 its worth noting that i suspect many people nominating Milwaukee are doing so on the strength of their cordless offerings. I think most would agree that choosing only one brand for electric (110/240V) tools is folly, but that Milwaukee wouldn't the best choice if you were. i based my choice of Bosch on cordless + electric. If I took hand tools into the equation as well (only one brand for everything), I'd probably choose Dewalt. EDIT: I realise this thread wasn't a 'choose one brand' topic, so I may have gone off on a tangent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Denmark Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I have to go with Dewalt .. Hmm wonder why.. ;-)As a carpenter I have try almost all brands but I still prefer Dewalt, maybe that's why I work for them now:-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadlanthier Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Dewalt. My only gripe is have practically every tool they own( well a lot of them). Yet I don't qualify to be part of their panel on new tools, whatever it's called.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK13 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 If I had to pick one brand, where if I need a tool and have to buy strictly by brand, it would probably be Bosch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamg Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Definatly Milwaukee!! I started with a 2pc Makita set but it was lent out and totally destroyed at the hands of circular saw and a stupid mechanic so I ended up buying a Milwaukee 4pc kit with the cash that the dousch gave me for the Makita he destroyed and haven't looked back. My shop is loaded with Milwaukee and it will continue to grow red Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
