Milwaukee M18 vs Dewalt 20V

[Tom469]

I got my first Milwaukee M18 ( drill & Hackzall ) kit three years ago. My Makita 12v drill, stick type battery, was forced to retirement after 15+ years, due to lack of batteries. I got it used, fixed the charger. I was looking for the Makita battery, found the Milwaukee kit on after Christmas sale....

Milwaukee, Makita, Dewalt, you can't go wrong with any of them. Make note of what the contractors, and construction guys use.

At work (27+years ) we had a dozen guys using the cordless tools 24/7. One of the first ones was Porter Cable 12v drill "Magnaquench". It was quiet, Ran for years, the chuck finally gave up. It did seem like the Craftsman batteries (nicad) didn't hold up long.
