Literally the most overpriced chinesium shit you can spend your money on. Does this brand make a single tool that is not utterly and entirely mogged by Makita or Metabo?

I have a handful of milwaukee tools which are excellent.
But some shit I would never buy, like a milwaukee leaf blower or lawnmower.
Their vacuum sucks too (ha)

Makita sucks ass more than Milwaukee in my opinion. I am not much of a brandfag, but seriously, just buy Stanley or since older Craftsman/DeWalt tools, if you want to brandfag.

I've got a bunch of their 12V fuel stuff and while their
>only heavy duty
clearly is marketing bullshit, they've got some quite decent, affordable, yet quite powerful homeowner-tier stuff. And for some stuff, the compactness of 12V easily offsets the chinesium. For example the 12V multitool. Is it as powerful and durable as a Fein? Nope. But the fact that it's easier to handle and to get into tight spots makes it the better tool if you're going into tight spots.
But you're right. If I'm going >only heavy duty, I'm going top of the line metabo.

Makita tools are fantastic. The one time I used them I was surprised how smooth the power band was. I am a cheap ass property owner who owns mostly ryobi and harbor freight slop though. No complaints really. I get the jobs I need done finished without any issues.
>Milwakee owned by the same parent company as Ryobi
Kek. I had a feeling. My father in law’s expensive red tools have no discernible performance difference from my cheap green ones. His Brad nailer broke before mine too.

I've had great luck with Milwaukee tools. The high torque 1/2" impact, a 1/2" hammer drill and an impact driver were my first 3 tools bought. That high torque saved my ass quite a few times over the years. After a while I got several more drills and impact drivers, a 1/2" mid torque, 3/4" high torque, angle grinder, couple of sawzalls, leaf blower, vacuums, spotlights, right angle die grinder, ratchet, soldering iron, oscillating tool etc.

It's all been good stuff. M12 stick vacuum kinda sucks and not in the good way, but I did modify it and make it work much better. The M18 bacpack vacuum is a battery hog, but it's a god damn vacuum running off a battery, what do you expect? It is handy when on a ladder or some shitty spot where you need a vacuum and a corded one would just plain suck to drag up there with you.

M12 spotlights kick ass. Have like 4 of them in different pickups. The M18 searchlight is meh. Too big and bulky and really not much brighter than the M12 which is just so much more convenient to use.

Cordless grinder is handy for quick jobs and taking out to the metal pile when I don't want to drag a full stick of something back to the bandsaw or plug in grinder and cut-off wheel.

I have managed to kill a few of the M18 Fuel 1/2" hammer drills, but I'm hard on drills and would have killed any of them. Have also killed a corded Makita, Dewalt, and Milwaukee drills too..

The M18 sawzalls are kick ass. The M18 blower is great for quick blow jobs (hehe).

Also have some older Milwaukee stuff like a big ol 9" grinder and corded Hole Hawg. Both of those have been good. I bought a 3 pack of their 4.5" grinders and they were good, but I also ended up finally killing all of them, just like I do grinders of every brand.

Oh the M18 grease guns are the cat's fucking meow for greasing equipment. Those and a Lock-N-Lube coupler and you'll never go back to pumping grease by hand ever again. They are an absolute god-send.
