/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hitachi should be joining this since it owns Metabo

Fucking autist post , again

What exactly is autist about the post?

>>1527899
>BE HITACHI
>BE VALUE ORIENTED
>BUY METABO
>GET BOUGHT BY CHINKS
>SUDDENLY NOT VALUE ORIENTED
>PROCEED TO SCAM BATTERY PRICES

>>1527985
Hitachi? Value oriented? From what I've seen over the last half decade their tools were always close to Makita/Bosch prices, meaning not value at all.

>>1527893
>bunch of German brands not sold in the US

who cares.

>>1528501
This. Lowe’s has Hitachi but nobody buys them.

As long as my weekend warrior ass can buy a DeWalt or Milwaukee drill and driver kit for $149 or a Ryobi 5 tool set and everything will be more than enough for my needs, why would I buy expensive German stuff made in China?

>>1528506
Yeah, you'd rather buy shitty American stuff made in China.

>>1528618
Pricing, availability, ease of service and parts, of course. If I was a Yuro and Metabo-Bosch were 60% the cost of DeWalt and Milwaukee, I would buy that.

>>1528618

Dewalt's tools are hecho en mexico and if you want there's plenty of corded made in USA suppliers (and in my experience most air powered tools are made in USA too).

>>1528621
Then why did you start your first post with retardation like it matters to you when the problem is in logistics and not the tools themselves? Just like you in the US don't get much Bosch stuff we in the EU don't get much Milwaukee stuff, well we do but at a nasty markup.

>>1528671
If they are sitting next to eachother in Lowe’s and Bosch wants $250 for their entry level drill and impact while the DeWalt is <$150, I’m not buying into Bosch just because I can use the batteries for a German saw that cuts 5% better than the DeWalt.

And Milwaukee’s lineup is probably still better than that German conglomerate or brands if you’re doing anything besides fine woodworking.

>>1528678
Milwaukee is complete garbage, it's not even cheaper and I see repair shops getting close to Makita and Bosch unit count for them while being far more unpopular, planned obsolescence at best.

>Mafell
I've never heard of them so I looked up their tools. Fucking kek over $5k for a circular saw, thx for the laugh OP

>>1528814
>never heard of them
As expected of burgers.

>$5k
Their plunge saw costs only $700

>>1528814
Well at least it looks like it comes with a handjob port

>>1527893
I’ve never heard of metal metabo

My homedepot usually has some good deals on dewalt power tools

>>1527893
God I wish Hilti and Fein would join this

>>1527994
>makita prices

nice try fag they where like rigid prices, now they are dewalt prices

>>1529200
At what? Midrange shit? Look at their high end new generation stuff, prices pretty much in line with the big 3 in Europe

>>1527893
only thing good mafell makes is track saw
bosch uses mafell rail

>>1529202
highest they had was triple hammer. they where the rigid type tool of lowes. above ryobi/kobalt below dewalt/milky/macky

>>1529216
And jigsaw, and joiners, and a bunch of other woodworking crap.

>>1529237

I love how people in these threads want to fight without having used any of the brands they are talking shit about

How about everyone who responds from now on with opinions about brands says which tools they’ve used in the brands they’re discussing.

I’ve used Bosch saws and they out perform every other saw I’ve used including Dewalt, makita, craftsman, and porter cable

As for the thread, we use Metabo grinders every day and they really take a beating.

Just like craftsman being sold to Blowes, though, I don’t imagine their cordless stuff being the same quality. They might be at first, but unless someone here actually has used them, why are we talking?

>>1529744
Bosches always excel in these categories:
Ergonomics
Durability

Their only problem is that they don't have a large selection of brushless shit like their competitors, but their regular tools are more than powerful enough, like their 18V jigsaw(non brushless) is as powerful as the 18V Makita brushless one, they obviously do not last long enough on the same battery capacity, but unlike Makita Bosch does have a 8 and 12Ah pack.

>>1529758
And they fucking should, Bosch is like 10x the size of Milwaukee, Makita an Dewalt combined.

>>1527893

Is what 99% of American professionals would ask.

I’m speaking about Mexican burgers.

>>1530231
Are mexican burgers any good?

>>1530234
They taste like dead cats

>>1530234
They’re called Arepas

>>1530266
Totally answered my question there.

>>1530234
They're called hamburguesa

Mexican do concert work you faggot. WOOD IS FOREIGN

>>1530649
Your Mexicans sound like our Bosnians

>>1530363
All she does is complain about how Colombians are assholes for claiming arepas are theirs and Columbian arepas are trash compared to Venezuelan ones.

I’m all about dem tequeños.

>>1530691
have you ever been to mexico?

Homedepot is small as fuck and like the only place to get wood for normal mexicans, the only option is to go to more commercial grade small business.

>>1531365
No. I and I doubt I ever will.
I was just putting a comparison as Mexicans sound like our neighbours who are only good at pouring concrete with minimal wage.
Also dumb as rocks.

With the exception of the Bepis sisters, how do you know they haven't used any of the brands they are talking shit about?

>>1527893
>Are Festool, Milwaukee, Bosch, Dewalt and Makita finished?
Obviously not. Mafell is not even in the game in the US outside of niche markets like timberframing. They make great long lasting tools, but American carpenters can not afford them. The tracksaw concept is still relatively new and I expect to see tracks built to retrofit existing saws becoming commonplace before any large scale adoption of the new purpose built saws. Metabo is Hitachi now right? I love their pneumatics but they've been a small fry when it comes to powertools for decades. I know they're pushing new shit out, but most people have already committed to a battery and I don't think they're going to get many to switch.

>I’ve used Bosch saws and they out perform every other saw I’ve used including Dewalt, makita, craftsman, and porter cable
Bosch made shit saws until they bought skil and copied the mag77. The only decent craftsman saw was a rebadged skil too. Makita makes the best sidewinder and their hypoid was skil's biggest competition until they changed the game with their double battery cordless. I would say they're at the top of the heap with skil when it comes to skillsaws, dewalt makes some good tools (love their mitersaws) but their skillsaws have always been cheap trash. Porter cable has not released a half decent tool this millenium.
