What about the tribes out in the wild? The Festools, Mafells and Hiltis?
The four houses dads belong to.

Festool is that fancy all girls school where everything is fancy and clean.
Mafells is that Bulgarian school with Crom

For those who hate being stuck with one brand because the batteries are so expensive you can buy adapters to convert between them. For instance I use a rigid battery with a ryobi tool etc and it works great! I’ve seen adapters for working between most of the brands since almost all the tools are 18V. I’ve seen ones that jump between lower voltages and higher ones which is a bit sketchier but are likely fine as well. www.google.com/search?q=power+tool+battery+adapte…

You do lose power through those, so they’re not great for high power tools. Torque Test Channel has done quite a few videos on this.

So DeWalt is Gryffindor right?
JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 1 year ago
hufflepuff
supermario182@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I would argue Ryobi is the Hufflepuff of these four.
Cheems@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is Milwaukee ravenclaw or Slytherin?
Ryobi is 100% Hufflepuff
supermario182@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Milwaukee as raven claw and Makita as Slytherin seems fitting
esc27@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve been pretty happy with the Ryobi 18 and 40 volt stuff. If I ever need anything fancier I’ll probably start investing in milwaukee. At some point I plan to invest into a tool storage system and milwaukee may win that decision…
For corded stuff, brand loyalty isn’t that useful. I have a dewalt portable/job site table saw I really like.
My jigsaw and circular saw are skil, so I could probably stand to upgrade, but they work well enough.
Just bought a kobalt powered screwdriver that uses usbc to charge and seems fine for household use (when a drill driver is not needed)
Still have an old dewalt drill on a dead battery platform that refuses to die.

If you’re looking for a solid storage system, check out toughbuilt or flex. As someone with the rare experience in several different mobile tool chests, flex and toughbuilt kick the hell out of the packout. I run the toughbuilt stacktech myself, and it’s got everything I could have hoped for. Tough as hell, metal corners, waterproof, no fumbling to lock or unlock pieces as they connect automatically, and they’re a good bit cheaper to boot.

House Makita brings honor to our projects with powerful Nippon steel.
Seriously though, back when I worked for a small construction outfit. There were two teams of contractors. One vietnamese, the other Bosnian. They all bought used Makita tools.
I had no idea there even was a market for used tools back then. But it was enough to sell me on them myself. But man, are they pricier.
Wogi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have hundreds of dollars in DeWalt batteries and it’s too late to turn back now. Give her two chooches for me brothers, I am a fallen warrior.
riodoro1@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Shit, I bought into the makita system but luckily I’m not a dad. I have much more time to spend with my tools.
S_204@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Team Blue as well. Now that I’ve got kids my projects are much more repair/renovation oriented than new build LoL.
DarthBueller@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Disappointed metabo isnt represented. Used to be hitachi? I’ve got a pneumatic brad nailer from them and it’s both wondrous and affordable.
jimbolauski@lemm.ee 1 year ago
My Hitachi miter saw is great, there’s little to no play or flex I liked it better than my dewalt that got stolen
slingstone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is House Craftsman like the Reynes of Castemere or something?
SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
They’re house Tyrell. They used to be great, then they fell apart, now they’re trying to come back.

I’m scared to mention Kobalt in here
Cheems@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nearly every single kobalt tool I’ve had has broken or just stopped so quickly. They are such a small step above harbor freight that it isn’t worth my time anymore.
sleepdrifter@startrek.website 1 year ago
The power drill my dad got me a decade ago still works, and locked me in… I have done some med-duty ranch work with it and it still drills
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’ve goy thay Kobalt router table, and it’s pretty good.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I dream of owning Kobalt tools one day as I use my Harbor Freight cheapies.
Kittenstix@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As a plumber milwaukee is where it’s at, only brand that has a cordless snake/augur, air snake, compact propress, expansion pex and copper cutter tools.
Kefass@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I am from the Metabo house. Its a German company I used to work for. Pretty decent gear. They have a deal with a lot of smaller, specialised brands to share their battery system.
Sorgan71@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Idk what its called but if my daughter comes home with a dude who prefers anything other than those neon tools I’m sending him home.
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I want a complete DeWalt set and the time at home enough to justify using each and every tool until it does from usage
EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 1 year ago
My wife says I can only buy a tool if I need it for a project, so now I have to many plans for projects and not enough time to do them.

Kobalt gang 😎
erte@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have a mishmash thanks to some battery adapters I found on Amazon. I swap between Dewalt, and two Milwaukee ecosystems seamlessly
funkajunk@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Milwaukee = Gryffindor DeWalt = Ravenclaw Makita = Hufflepuff Ryobi = Slytherin

Remember Wen…
limelight79@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I have a Wen metal shear tool…it’s AMAZING. Slices through sheet aluminum and steel like they’re butter.
SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I think I have a pancake air compressor from Wen. It was the cheapest I could find on Amazon and the gauges are broken from shipping but it does work so…
limelight79@lemm.ee 1 year ago
DeWalt for drills, etc… I used to work in a hardware store (a small town store, not a Lowes/HD big box place) and sold DeWalt, so that’s what I gravitated toward when I was buying tools for myself.
But for yard tools, 40v Ryobi.

I think it might be because I fix cars more than houses, and I’m in my 20s.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m pretty satisfied with Hart which is a Walmart brand. Keeping my fingers crossed, but no issues so far after a couple years.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
The same company that makes Ryobi and Milwaukee tools also makes Hart.**
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There is a canadian Youtuber that I stopped watching because he turned out to be a Canuck Trumper type, but he did a lot of videos where he broke down power tools with various price points and showed why they cost what they cost and where manufacturers do or don’t cut corners. Interesting stuff.
stoy@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
My dad rejected those answers, instead, he chose something different, he chose… Festool!

FYI there are adaptors for all of these batteries so you’re not actually stuck. I got one on Amazon
Voyajer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just make sure whatever tool/battery combo you end up using still some sort of battery protection. Most brands have it in the tool but a few have it in the battery.
CallMeDave@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Good news everyone! Apparently, EU went for it youtu.be/eKOvXigyrXA?si=XiTMEQfNU1XmF2LQ

What about us who only have one accurate drill to assemble and mount IKEA furniture and then buy everything else corded as we will use it once in 2 years or maybe never, but we want to have it as we’re thinking about having a small shed one day so we can finally make those 5 shelves for pantry and 2 cubic meters of storage space in the loft/garage?

I was sorted long before my kids were born
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’m not a dad, and I’m pretty heavily bought into SB&D’s Craftsman V20 ecosystem. Some of them are clearly discount DeWalt, especially the brushless tools.
Corded tools, I have no loyalty. My table saw and planer are DeWalt, my drill press and jointer are Wen, I’ve got a Kobalt router table, and so on.

NotSoCoolWhip@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You typed this on a device that would allow you to learn anything, including tool use, and instead you chose to use that time to publicly claim your own ineptitude. This statement does not come from a place of disdain, but from a lack of understanding of why people often choose not to use the collective human consciousness as a tool to better their situation by learning skills and applying them. The dude who fixed your toilet isn’t any different than you, except he knows how to do something you don’t. With internet you can change that with a few Google searches.
