    Milwaukee is generally considered the best brand for heavy professional work in the US. DeWalt is a close second

      Maybe where you’re from. DeWalt is the premium brand, Milwaukee is the second tier from the same manufacturer.

        Interesting take. I’ve spent a lot of time in the trades and if your a plumber with DeWalt no one will take you seriously. You’re also just wrong about manufacturer my guy. Milwaukee is in same umbrella as Ridgid and Ryobi, with Ridgid actually being the second tier. Milwaukee is so good, tti gives them operational independance. DeWalt makes really good stuff, but in 1 to 1 comparison Milwaukee usually wins.

            Ridgid actually slaps imo. My dad owns a lot of their line, and we can beat it to shit and most of it keeps kicking. The octane line was weirdly fragile, and the old batteries stunk. Aside from that, you cant beat the warranty.
