Just a reminder that this is what you people shill for.

Milwaukee marketing dept. rides on the coattails of old Milwaukee, and a lot of (mostly American, since Mil is not that big in Europe) idiots fall for it. Fact is that built quality has gone down the shitter over the last decade after being acquired.
There are more premium and higher quality tools out there, but you don't get to see them since Mil pretty much hogs all shelf space in the US

who cares?
Every single one you listed are notorious for low quality products. Chink shit always is.
plus, the only way to get away from advertising is to ignore it. You talking about it only does the advertisers a favour.

Yes I'm sure all the guys that use power tools 8+ hours a day every day only use Milwaukee because it's on the shelf in every hardware store.

All our shit gets delivered by a vendor that carries every brand you can imagine and Milwaukee is still our go to for cordless tools for a reason. We've done trials with Dewalt, Bosch, and Makita where the vendor provides brand new tool kits for guys to use on the job for 30 to 90 days and they never manage to dethrone Milwaukee. Our corded tool selection is much more diverse.

However, I work for a mechanical contractor so the most use cordless tools get is tightening up Victaulic couplings with an impact or driving sheet metal screws. We use corded tools for almost everything else.

This is true for Makita and Dewalt too, moving their stuff overseas trying to stay competitive in pricing anon. This isnt something new or special anon.
