De Walt rules. My shop is black and yellow. I have thousands invested in De Walt. U.S.A.
I must say-I love my DeWalt tools.
I had crap tools most of my life, I just could ‘t afford to buy them, so I had a lot of run down hand me down tools.
When we finally got enough money, I asked my wife if I could spend “X” amount of dollars to buy new tools, a chest, etc.
And that wonderful woman let me have an open checkbook to get what I thought I needed.
I got all DeWalt tools, a bunch of batteries, and I have to tell you, doing things is so different now. She let me buy a big old vise which cost me about $400 IIRC and replaced a little dinky broken vise that had belonged to my father. How did I ever live without a good vise????
Now, I readily admit-I could have easily gotten some other brand of cordless power tools, and I’ll bet I would be just as enamored of them, but...these tools have worked flawlessly for me, I have dropped them off my roof onto asphalt, etc. and they work.
Love it. Sigh, all those years, using crappy tools...:(
