Makita vs Dewalt vs Bosch

[Raypo]

I believe Milwaukee has an edge on the rest. Seems more commercial grade.

I have a Bosch I picked up from a garage sell. This might have been used by him twice. It looked brand new. But it’s a beast! I replaced my old Makita with this one. I really like it. It’s the 6.5 amp corded model.

Just curious why Ridgid isn't an option? They have a lifetime warranty on batteries and tools. I switched everything over to them this summer and couldn't be happier.

Milwaukee or Makita in my opinion. I have dewalt battery powered tools now and its frustrating how fast a circular saw or SawZaw will use up a full battery.

Like stated above, I would look into Rigid also. I have a rigid 10" miter saw and its an awesome machine.

Cuz they are junk. In my expierance, Ryobi is heads and tales above rigid.
I went from Dewalt to Rigid, and after multiple tool failures, trips to HD, etc..I bit the bullet and went to Milwaukee.
The first Rigid drill, I ever used, the chuck locked up on a $65 mandrel after drilling 1 hole. Took it to HD, they couldn't get it out. Wouldn't replace my mandrel or give me a credit, just a new drill. 2nd drill quit working 2 hrs later. 3rd drill (hr and half later, and another trip to HD) burned up and started smoking after 5 min of drilling 3/4" holes. All were the heavy duty hammer drills.
Have a rigid tile saw that is about worthless as well. I didn't buy it new thankfully.

Some people were just born with crappy luck, im sorry you're one of those people.

I went to Ridgid from Ryobi, tools are great but you better have 10+ batteries.

My luck is as flush as it gets barring winning the lottery .
I use tools of all kinds, every day, yr around to make a living. Crappy tools get weeded out pretty quick. Weekend warriors will try and sale you on Black on Decker
