Me too! Their 18 volt system and tool assortment is pretty awesome. You can combine two to make a 36 volt tool like their chain saw or use only one battery for drills, impact wrenches weed eaters and lots more. All batteries are interchangeable within this tool line.

I’ve done Dewalt and Ridgid. Went to Milwaukee a few years back. Milwaukee is superior in my opinion. I’m just a do it yourselfer but use my tools a lot. Check out the deal of the day on Home Depot today. Best deals on Milwaukee are the Bundle/Combo packs they sell on major holidays at Home Depot, you can usually get 8 to 12 tool and 3 batteries that are 5.0 for around $600, that comes out to about half price if you buy the cordless tool as a single unit price.

The new ryobi stuff is actually pretty good but I went with Makita. The batteries charge quickly and they have a huge amount of stuff for them. There isn’t a whole lot of price difference when you sit and figure it. I think my makita drill set was $230 and the ryobi was $180. Makita runs specials quite often where you get free batteries or a free tool of your choice.

Check out the deal of the day on Home Depot today. This is a damn good deal right here. M12 Fuel Hammer drill, Impact and ratchet. (get extra and cheaper batteries elsewhere.) Milwaukee M12 drill, impact and ratchetI have this package. the only thing I find to be troublesome is the batteries. they are kind of a pain to take off the tool. on a side note: that bag is worth 50 bucks...…...

I have a pile of cordless tools, Porter Cable, Hitachi, Ryobi, Kobalt off the top of my head.
For home use Ryobi is hard to beat and batteries can be bought fairly cheap. I’m sure Craftsman would do fine for home use too.
The 24 volt Kobalt tools I have have held up really well and have been used for more then just normal weekend stuff. I let a contractor that was helping me with some re model work use my Kobalt sawsall and he was impressed, it’s stout, same for the cordless Kobalt drills I have.
Thanks, Billy

I did say good things about Ryobi, which was true, but during the big freeze of 2021, I needed a battery powered sawzall. All I could find was a very expensive Milwaukee M18 Fuel, so I bought that reluctantly. My Lord, that thing is a beast. And now I have a corded Ryobi sawzall that is free to whoever wants it.

Offering up my .02. I'd stick with one of the commercial brands...Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita. They're all pretty comparable. The rigid, craftsman, ryobi, black and decker, etc are really made for homeowners. As with sawzall above there is a NOTICABLE difference in power and torque between the commercial brands and the homeowner brands. I'm partial to dewalt but mostly because i'm heavily invested in their batteries and chargers, which are the biggest expense in power tools. There are some great dewalt package deals out there right now that include multiple batteries and a charger. All that said, if you really want the homeowner type tools i'd also consider Kobalt. Never owned one but they seem pretty decent when I've handled them in the store.
that's my 2 cents for what it's worth.

When in doubt, set the hook.

I don't know any other companies that has so many industry specific cordless tools. Milwaukee brings out new tools almost every few months. They by far have the biggest selection of cordless tools.
