re: OB Recommendations....on cordless tool sets

I have Milwaukee because it had the biggest batteries and the most torque at the time which is what I need. Makita is probably the best overall quality. I'm not a huge Dewalt 18v fan, because of some bad experiences with their stuff, but that's been a little while so maybe they're better. I don't use Ryobi and don't know anyone that does, so I can't speak to that. I had a Hilti set and dropped a circ saw 20 feet. Sent it back to the manu for repair and bought a Porter cable set as a backup while I waited. Stay away from Porter Cable.


If Hilti was serious about expanding their 18v lineup and keeping up with the jones', I would have stuck with them. Great customer service.
