    If it says Rigid, it is a counterfeit.

    I personally use Milwaukee at work, then DeWalt at home cause I cant afford two sets of Milwaukee
    Correct, damn spell check got me.

    Make sure you register them within 90 days of purchase on the website. That puts the lifetime warranty in effect.

    The only drill I have ever burnt up is a dewalt. I have several dewalt corded tools that are men among men though.

    Dewalt 20v stuff is so good I've never been tempted to try Milwaukee.

    FWIW, I have about $10k in Milwaukee cordless tools for a reason. We beat the heck out of them. If it tears up I send it back and get a new one to replace it. Only battery issues I’ve had were the old 9.0ah and Milwaukee sent me new ones. I’ve got 15 or so 5.0ah batteries that are 5yo with hundreds of charges on them, zero issues. I do have some Dewalts but they just don’t hold up as well IMO. ToolUp, Acme, Grizzly, Northern, HD, Mann etc have combo kits, add the bare tools as you go.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Do y'all with Milwaukee tools have issues with the chargers? I have had issues in the past but they have since been replaced and seem to work fine. The rep at Home Depot said it was my batteries but the new chargers work fine so I don't know if that was just bs.

    And keep in mind that the Lifetime Guarantee for the batteries only applies if you purchase them from a retail chain like Home Depot. If you buy them from DirectTools.com it doesn't apply, as those are primarily reconditioned or factory blems at a discount.

    For the money, quality and variety it's hard to beat metabo. Their triple hammer impact is the real deal.

    Check https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/ for a factory blemished or reconditioned one since you won't use it as much. They've normally got several sizes available.

    I have ran Makita impacts, drills, battery saws and all for 10-15 yrs. Only had to replace 1 battery out of 30+ that I have. And no tool burn up. I use them everyday with my HVAC business where they get really dusty, put in standing water and dropped.

    I run nothing but Milwaukee. 1/2” impact with 3/4” adapter and I can changed blades on Bush hogs. My next tool will be a 3/4” impact. The cordless M18 framing nailer is impressive.

    Chatt James sells Milwaukee returns from Home Depot at the Greenville flea market. I’ve bought a bunch of tools from him
    On the cheap and never had an issue with them. He post on Facebook tool sale too.

    Makita is leaps and bounds above Ridgid or Dewalt. There is no comparison. Between Makita and Milwaukee it’s a coin toss

    Been framing our house last few weeks and builder has all Dewalt stuff. Milwaukee framing gun was nailing faster than 2 Dewalt battery framing guns. Half way through the floor he went and bought a Milwaukee framing gun too. 2-3 batteries a day ain’t bad either.
