Meh. In 5 years at my job and a few dozen mechanics who have come through our fleet, there is one guy with a Milwaukee sawzall and that’s is. Just from being around the garage and different accounts and seeing techs and repair guys and dudes remodeling stores, it has to be close to 50% DeWalt. I really don’t see much Milwaukee at all, which suprises me because I think they have the best tool lineup right now for most trades besides woodworking and their current pricing isn’t any higher than the other major brands.

Yea im a contractor. I got some Ryobi tool because I forgot some of mine and I lived an hour drive away and they were cheap. They crapped out on me after a couple of months. They were cheap as fuck so I was expecting it but if you're just a regular home owner I imagine they're fine.

Imo Porter cable is top notch for "discount" tools. My first set when I started this business was a porter cable impact and and half inch drill. I used the impact way more than the drill and it lasted 4 years. I paid $140 fornthenlair (I'm Canadian so tools here are way pricier than than in the us) drill still works. I have it to my nephew who helps me on summer vacations/weekends/holidays.

The benefit of Milwaukee is they are designed knowing you're going to beat on them all day. They just hold up under rough use which is contracting in a nut shell. That and depending where you buy it you get a lifetime guarantee.

From who?

Anyway their real warranty is bretty gud. 5yrs on tools, 3yrs on batteries, better than the 3yrs that the other brands offer. Their pricing is competetive with Yellow, Green, Blue, the usual suspects. Current Milwaukee isn’t the same as it was a few years back, but with pricing and warranty and quality all being about the same as DeWalt or Makita, I would pick red because of the tool lineup.

Home Depot had Xmas sales going from Black Friday to the beginning of Feb. You could get a really good brushless Ryobi set for like $250. I bet Father’s Day will have some good ones.

Also if you download the Home Depot app, they have a “Deal of the Day” that changes every 24hrs and it seems like once a week they will have some power tools or compressors on there. It’s kinda a pain in the ass to watch but a week or two ago they had a few really good Milwaukee deals with like $600 worth of tools for $250.

>It's still the same overall power, just configured differently
It's the same energy content, but the higher voltage makes it easier to deliver higher power. Smaller conductors/lower resistive losses. There's a reason why 40V tools have been popular on contractor-grade lines for a long time, why Makita is going to doubled-up batteries in series for high-power tools, and why electric cars operate at high voltages. The Flex-Volt ones in particular use the series configuration to get around some regulations regarding shipping large-capacity batteries.

>it really makes no difference
You know that resistive losses are proportional to amperage, right? Three times the voltage means one third the losses for a given conductor size and power output. Modern cordless tools can draw dozens of amps from the battery, and getting a high duty cycle on that takes large conductors.

>What the fuck are you talking about getting around shipping large batteries lol
The FlexVolt batteries can exceed the maximum energy content permitted for air shipping. But they're built as three 20V batteries that are connected in series. So for regulatory purposes, the cap they come with turns them into three smaller batteries that can be shipped by air.

Snappy makes a couple things that are top notch, but it’s a total waste of money for 99.5% of people to buy anything off the truck. When you buy a $100 Snappy tool, you’re probably paying something like $40 for the actual tool, $20 for the warranty, and the other $40 is paying for the tool truck goy’s service including a credit line and bringing tools to you while on the job. If it’s worth the extra money so you don’t have to wait til payday to buy a specialty tool that you need to finish a job today, then maybe over time all of that markup on Snappy shit is worth it to you.

So you declare by fiat that resistive waste heat, its accompanying loss of battery life due to wasted energy, and thermal stress on electronics just don't matter. In a battery-powered tool.

Why do you think modern cordless tools wire their individual cells in series to produce more than 3.7 volts? It's because of the issues I've been talking about. The power difference between 12V and 18V tools is typically enough to warrant wiring series of five cells together rather than three. And you somehow think that there is no benefit to be had from higher voltages despite the ever-increasing power of cordless tools. Don't you realize that 18V was itself a design compromise balancing several factors (a compromise that dates to before the adoption of lithium batteries), and that increasing power demands obviously justify higher voltages?

The difference between 3.7 and 18 is large and necessary, the difference between 18 and 60 is negligible and unnecessary, obviously, because dewalts impacts are 60v and are weaker than milwaukee.
Wow, 60 volts didn't make it stronger?
huh.
Diminishing returns is obviously kicking in around 18 volts since the entire m18 line is loaded with highly demanding tools and are experiencing no issues.
Each 18650 is capable of providing 30a continuous, 3 parallel means 90 amps, 90x18=1620watts
That's continuous rating, they can provide MUCH higher peak output for short periods.
Dewalts 60v table saw which is a very demanding tool claims to take around 1600w, so they aren't even taking advantage of the higher voltages of the cell.
An m18 battery could provide the same power output overall as the 60, and the lack of failures and consistent proven history of the m18 lineup and battery system does nothing but reinforce that this system is adequate.

Milkuwee RED LITHIUM implying special fucking battery tech and I honestly see no real appeal to lug around tools named after a hilbilly redneck town, unless youre heavily into incest

Dewalt, its supposed to be a german company named to sound american, actually have cheapest battery prices
For anything under and including 5ah, and use the 6ah/60v 2ah and higher to jack up the price, most and cheapest 1000 torques impact, plus a while back they had those nice Nano batteries based on A123 cells, delivering full power all the way to cell voltage cutoff. But the flexvolt shit is red lithium tier marketing stunt and its useless in a powertool as 18v can push plenty amps and over short distances wire thickness doesnt matter as much, solid connectors are far more important. If anything, 60v is more likely to damage the cells in case of a short, since amp draw will skyrocket and cells arent paralelled anymore to back it up so they can overheat and go into thermal runaway easier.
18v with 2 or more parallel cells would just melt the weakest connection and break the circuit before the cells even know wassup

Makeeta cheapest batteries, tools are the same or cheaper than competition, however fuck help you to get the red and green on the charger, thats a bricked battery and there used to be no coming back from it, had to buy a new one
I had a few bad ones (bought them like that) and charged them on a 3rd party charger for years, but for the lithium waste these guys produced by having millions of tradies just bin the red and green packs, they should face the slaughterhouse. Now you can buy chinese pcb's that will work on the original charger, but better fucking make sure your cells are balanced or youll burn the site down as these boards have no balance circuit and can easily overcharge cells.
They also had the the LXT radios for ages always for a decent price and that stuff sounds sweet, as opposed to anyone elses radios that sounded like bricks falling through a refuse chute

there are only 3 impact drivers on there, the standard Gen 3 model, Gen 3 w/One Key and the Surge Hydraulic driver.

the rest of them are impact wrenches, either the High Torque, Mid Torque, or Compact models with 3/4", 7/16" Hex, 1/2" Pin Detent, 1/2" Hog Ring or 3/8" socket drives, with or without One Key variants.

black tools are their sub-compact line, they are compact brushless tools that compete with Milwaukee's M12 Fuel tools but still use 18v LXT batteries.

that is unless you live in Japan where Makita makes tools in a number of different colors (black, green, pink, dark red, brown, gold, etc) for shits and giggles.

What in the world are you on about? I haven't been talking about the cells' ability to deliver a lot of current, I've been talking about practicalities of the electronics that USE that current. Higher voltage for the same power means less waste heat, cooler electronics, and more work done per battery charge for a given wire gauge and heat dissipation capacity. The difference between 18 and 60 is proportionally the same as the difference between 3.7 and 12. Meaning that, if the shift from 3.7 to 12V is justified at the power of 12V tools, the shift from 18V to 60 is exactly as justified at five times the power of the 12V tools in question. It's not a matter of whether low-voltage tools work - obviously they can, and at much higher amperages than currently in use - it's a matter of engineering compromises across multiple parameters. And there are actual reasons why, as motor power increases, operating voltage typically does too. Cordless power tools represent a small section of the trend that holds across much wider scales in other applications.
