Milwaukee Tools

Well played!

 

Offended??

By a stranger on the internet.

 

Going to give the top handled saw a go today. Cutting up some downed limbs into manageable firepit sized pieces. Threw in the 12.0.

 

Really?! Are your Milwaukee tools are that bad? Why keep buying them? Makita makes very similar tools at a very similar price to Milwaukee.

 

Makita guys take life way too serious.

I’m a Binford man myself.

 

Heck ya!!

 

I've slowly been converting over, been impressed so far with all of the tools I've got.

M12 Fuel impact - punches waaaay above it's weight class. It zips 1/2" lag bolts like nothing for mounting tvs.

M12 ⅜" Fuel ratchet - makes working on the Taco that much easier.

M18 grease gun - overkill but I got it for free so I won't complain. Wishing I had gotten one years ago

M18 hedge trimmer - got it on sale from HD with a 8.0 batt for $150 last summer. Works great and it's what started my conversion to Red.

 

I've only been disappointed with two brands... Ryobi and Dewalt.

I've only bought two Ryobi tools and both crapped out within an hour of first use. The angle head grinder only took about fifteen minutes. I replaced it with a Makita and am still using the grinder under hard use several years later.

The Dewalt tools are just heavy for no reason. And the batteries don't last like the Milwaukee batteries do.

 

Ok, at first I thought you were joking, but that's Amazing.

 

Made by??? I thought all of these tools were made in China, the same plants building several brands, to whatever specs the companies defined.

 

Pretty self explanatory diagram of who owns who. They're not made by Milwaukee. TTI makes Milwaukee, Riobi, Rigid, etc. All are likely made overseas.

Milwaukee doesn't claim to be made in USA. Some of the hand tools now are.

 

False. They claim engineered and designed in USA mfg elsewhere.

 

Man, and people thought my dislike in coffee was enough to derail this thread

Anyway, I need an edge trimmer in these coming months.

 

Relax man, this has been covered before here no need to get so defensive.

If you dislike Milwaukee that's fine, plenty of other tool threads.

 

So you won't be buying the Makita coffee maker?

 

I'm a sucker for the 3/$5 yellow red bull cans
