Upside to Milwaukee, if you own a Milwaukee tool and send it in for service and they no longer can get parts for it you'll get a brand new tool as a replacement. I'm a manufacturing engineer for the service department of Milwaukee. Note, this doesn't apply to batteries. If those are within the service date you'll always get a new one since we don't repair batteries with the exception of one MX battery.

As a contractor for 20years, and have bought almost every cordless tool available, this is what I found over the years ..... Makita- Best saws and drills, run smoothly, built to last and very efficient. I use these tools the most on a daily average. The impacts, drills, multi, all circular saws (including track saw and metal cuting saws) are the best in my opinion. No other brand has been able to take the daily beat down these tools take. Down side is makita is a bit expensive compared to other similar box store platforms, and dont have too many good sales. Dewalt- best big/powerful tools like tablesaw, 12" chop, hammer drills, 9" cuttoff, chop saw, big grinders. The 60v tools are untouchable as far as power and run time. Milwaukee- Best selection of tools. Their nailers and impact wrenches are my favorite. They have a broad selection of tools. Many that others dont make, especially trade specific. They also have great deals. If I had to pick just one platform to cover everything, it would be Milwaukee. Great option for home owners.

After 30+ years building - I think everyone needs to understand cordless tools are ultimately disposable items. As battery tech changes and they lose charging ability, you will be faced with the option of either paying crazy prices for battery replacements or just getting new tools. Everyone needs some battery tools (impact driver, drill, small screw driver ate the essentials IMO), but in the end - corded is still king by a long shot. Cordless will save you time and they are good to have, but they will all end up in the garbage in about 3-5 years. By contrast, I've had the same sawzall, corded drill, jigsaw, circular saw etc etc for decades.

I used to do a lot of woodworking in a garage that was all Concrete and wood, so you can imagine how loud a regular impact was. I bought that Milwaukee surge impact and what a huge difference it made! Everyone I know who’s never seen one always comments about how much quieter it is! It does about 90% of what I need it to do. In the case where it can’t drive something larger than normal, then I’ll revert to my standard impact driver, but that is rare.

My M12 compressor caved. Caved the replacement. Moved up to the M18, have been impressed. The M18 angle grinder trigger is annoying compared to the old trigger😂

They make M12 Surge impact. It's the same as regular M12 impact, but a lot quieter. The little guy is my most used Milwaukee tool by a large margin.

I run all Milwaukee tools and have a ton but recently picked up a fuel 7 1/4 circular saw I was reluctant for a corded circular saw for quite a while but I can say after I picked this up I’m in love with it and won’t use a corded one anymore it’s a fantastic tool, I’m really impressed with run time and the power it has and it honestly quieter than my corded saw

Thanks for the very informative video. Very good use scenarios. I have some Ryobi One+ tools from my father, but I don't use them as much. I find that I usually go to my Bosch Pro korded tools still. Been looking for a battery series to invest in for a long time. Have had good experience with Makita korded and heard a lot of good about Milwaukee korded and battery. Just have to decide which brand delivers most bang for the buck for me.

I changed all my dewalt, ryobi, and all other tools to bauer 20v batteries, specifically the 3AH batteries (less drains too fast and more takes too long to charge), and the rapid-fast charger (throat punch due to whom named their standard charger "rapid".. "rapid-fast" is the actual fast charger). The batteries can even be easily rebuilt with 18650 cells (no safety circuitry) if I ever need to. Having all tools on a singular battery platform has been a game changer. The only caveat is I have to be mindful of overdrain (because of no protection).

Try the Surge hydraulic impact drivers; their chief advantage is you do not need to wear hearing protection (unless you are pounding into sheet metal)

My dad started us on the Dewalt batter system probably 12 years ago and of the dozen or so battery powered tools bought in that time not one has broken beyond my repair. No doubt Milwaukee is of similar quality, but i hate to see Dewalt get dunked on in recent months from many channels. They still make very nice tools. (my all time favorite from their line - up is the DeWalt 20V MAX 1500 lm Black/Yellow LED Jobsite Spotlight. I use it every night and keep it by bedside because it is so bright it would blind someone at night. Highly recommend.)

You can also buy the M18 FUEL SURGE 1/4 inch impact driver. It is quite powerful, but it uses a different mechanism and is a lot quieter than the regular M18 FUEL 1/4 inch impact.

Not sure which version you have but I have the M18 variable speed angle grinder and it’s fantastic. I find it very useful to be able to vary the speed. And it has loads of torque.

It’s the batteries that keep me from Milwaukee. Leave them in the cold, they’re dead. Dewalt batteries will keep its charge in freezing temps. I left my DeWalt batteries in a frozen connex through an Arctic winter, here in Alaska. When I returned late in the spring, all the batteries were still fully charged. Milwaukee won’t last a night in the cold.

I used DeWalt cordless tools for years both at work and at home. Someone handed me a Makita leaf blower and that was the switch for me. I gave all the DeWalt tools to my brother so he would stop asking to borrow tools. The two I didn't see in your set that I am always putting my hands on is a reciprocating saw and a portaband.

I run a mid-sized Industrial Electrical Contracting business and this has been my experience with cordless tool brands: -DeWalt tools 20v Max are relatively in expensive with a wide range of tools, but ultimately we got tired of having to run them to the repair depot constantly. - Milwaukee M18 tools were great while under warranty, but started to fail very quickly shortly after the warranty expired. I’ve been told by repair shops that they are very bad for planned obsolescence. - Makita tools are very well built and last, but the platform is fairly limited in North America. It’s now what I choose for my personal fleet. - Hilti is what we now run at work. It’s very expensive, but less expensive than downtime. The Reps in our area are terrible and they charge you for freight constantly. At least the tools last so I don’t have to speak to them very often.

Good breakdown of cordless tools! You can see it in the vid, but not mentioned is regardless of tool “brand” selected, pick one platform for cordless, nothing worse than multiple brands of chargers and batteries floating around the shop!!!!!

Buy the Fuel versions when offered or available. There are 30 of us in the heavy equipment shop I work in and over the years all of us have made the switch this brand in the M18 and M12 flavors.

The oscillating tool was the best tool I didn't know I needed. I saw someone using it on a youtube video and I used it a LOT on a basement remodel. The coolest thing I did with it was using a laser to put a straight line on 3 walls of a room and cut off the bottom section of water damaged drywall using the oscillating tool.

Take a look at the Milwaukee 2402-20, it is the best of the M12 Drill and M12 Impact Driver in one tool. Quick connect, clutch, and no impact functionality.

I’m a cordless guy all around. I work for majority big framing company but we will do decks and window jobs here and there. I always personally use dewalt, I love them. My company uses Milwaukee, they are good too, not my favorite. But I would definitely recommend a 12amp for that cordless compressor. I have the dewalt one and it can rip through batteries sometimes.

Milwaukee for 12 volt. Makita for 18 / 36 volt. I slowly replaced all my M18 stuff with Makita. Makita is more durable from my experience, especially when it comes to SDS drills and Impacts. Milwaukee makes good specialty tools though if you’re a plumber or electrician. The M12 line is superior to the M18 in my opinion, which is why I still buy them. That inflator is a POS though. Very slow.

I highly recommend the M18 CP3.0 you can usually find them in a 2 pack for a reasonable price and they’re small yet mighty. I use them with my drill and impact when I don’t want a ton of weight, they have a lot of power.

I need to add one caveat on the M19 drill Absolutely Buy the Hammer Drill not just a regular drill. 90%+ of the time I grab the M12 drill or impact driver. The large M18 1/2” impact wrench in an absolute beast it’ll remove (or twist off) northern rusted bolts. The M18 string trimmer system is great on our 1 acre property one charge 90% of the time is enough. FYI I’m a Milwaukee fan boy for 50 years

If you put a 6.0 battery in the M12 stubby you'll find its just as powerful as the M18 stubby. The M12 stubby is good but likes the larger batteries. Give it a go on lug nuts and see if it can do what the M18 variant can.
