Thanks! I agree, it’s a close call between DeWalt and Milwaukee. Since the two stores closest to me do sell both, that makes it a little tougher. Generally speaking I’d say most consumers are better off going DeWalt since you can buy their batteries at stores that don’t sell Milwaukee. The consumables like the drill bits and blades can typically make up any difference between two nearly comparable lines of tools.

I fill in the gaps using some Ryobi tools with a DeWalt battery to Ryobi adapter by Badapter and really like what I have today. It’s basically been the perfect system for my use cases. I was between Milwaukee and DeWalt, looking at reviews and doing cost-benefit analysis between the two on a scratchpad for which I ended up with DeWalt. No regrets. If I were into the plumbing trade, I think Milwaukee would have served me better but I only do light plumbing activities.

Nice article and thanks!
