Everyone will have their favourites, and dislikes.
Most of our tools are dewalt, they’re decent, and last a good while being abused daily for work. We stick with the brand, as it makes sense given we’ve got loads of the batteries.
My electrician swears by makita, and my plumber only uses milwaukee.
Having tried all 3 brands, I’d happily use any of them in the future, if i had the batteries.
I’ve had a few stanley fatmax tools, and they’re not at the level of dewalt in my opinion. Jigsaw, circulaw saw and sds drill, all wore out pretty quickly with regular use. I’d say they felt diy+.
I’d shop around for deals, and settle on a range from there.
