I'm pretty invested in Dewalt but my circular saw just crapped out as well as a battery recently plus my impact driver is acting up. I'm thinking about slowly divorcing myself from Dewalt. Thoughts on other brands?

Even my Dewalt chainsaw is a leaky mess.
 
Not sure of the age but it's 20 volt stuff. I bought a Stihl 161 and that thing doesn't leak a drop.
 
I don't want to know how many Milwaukee cordless tools I own.

There may be a few tools where another system is better, but across the board they are killing it it. Best nail guns, best mechanics stuff, saws are great...

After years of Bosch corded turned into years of Bosch cordless, the new guy I just brought on came with Milwaukee cordless...... he was a very expensive hire!

Milwaukee for the win.
 
+ 1 for milwaukee. Nothing but great luck with them. The fuel line is worth it for the high use tools or if you are making your living with them. Otherwise I think the regular line is fine for weekend warrior type use.
 
Have both DeWalt and Milwaukee built up from over the years. Milwaukee seems to be more innovative and has evolved better the past few years though!

Same for me. I still own a DeWalt drill and light impact driver and they work great. But if/when they die they will be replaced by Milwaukee.
 
Im a pm/superintendent so not using them day in and day out but use them alot. Probably more than I should honestly. I started with Hitachi, that became metabo. I have started replacing everything with Milwaukee. For the simple fact thats what everyone uses. And I need to borrow a battery or tool its going to be Milwaukee. I still prefer the metabo battery nail guns to Milwaukee, but the batterys last longer in the Milwaukee
 
Prefer dewalt flexvolt saws.
Everything else I go with Milwaukee.
I don’t know if Milwaukee has improved their miter saw yet but they simply didn’t hold up with heavy use.
Dewalt flexvolt batteries crap out pretty regularly but I can get them replaced under warranty without any hassle.
