What Brand of Cordless Power Do You Use?

[CLiberty]

I have a little of every thing, Dewalt,Makita, Craftsman, but the new 18v Snap On impact gun (the one with the slide on batt) is the SHIZZZNIZZLE. Best tool purchase I`ve made in a while.

Bosch. Really like them.

battery life is the biggest factor... but they're also the most compact of anything out there.



all of my 110v tools are still Milwaukee, but I'm getting to the point where all of my cordless stuff is Makita (trust me, I NEVER thought I'd say that!!!!)

Bosch 18v. Two years down the road it has been very good. Also have DeWalt and some 14v Ryobi drills that have stood up remarkably well.

Had 3/8 Skill driver, and Dewalt. The Milwulkee 1/2 hammer drill is the best IMHO have two of them.

I have been using cordless drills ect since their introduction in the early eighties. The orange Makita drill 6v or 7. 2 can't remember the voltage. Out of all the cordless drills I have owned the Panasonic was probably the best drill. It has out lasted the Dewalt and the Makita. For the money I think Dewalt is probably the best thing going. Just my 2 cents for whats it's worth

i had a dewalt drill. couldnt hold a charge to save its life. i did like the way it was built. went to bosch 18v kit. so far i like it. milwalkie for the hammer drill and dewalt for mortar mixing drill and grinder(could afford the hole hawg)

I have a Bosch now and my next drill will be a Panasonic. Panasonic was the first to use a planetary gear set in a cordless drill.

where's the Milwaukee button

Yeah, I love my Milwaukee 18v hammer drill. I bought it to replace a 12v Craftsman that lasted a long time so I liked it too but the Milwaukee is pretty much bulletproof.

After having numerous Dewalt cordless drills over the course of 5 years bulding decks, I finally got tired of the batteries not holding a charge and burning up fast. I switched to Ridgid after using a buddies drill one day and haven't switched back. I have really taken a liking to them.

I use cordless tools every day and the Panasonic 15. 6 3. 5Ah is my all time favorite tool. It has the best ballance, feel and weight. The battery charge will last at least twice as long than any other battery on the market. I have no experience with the newest Li-Ion batteries, seems Makita's newest 18v drill is amazing. For pure power and torque I use the tried and true german Metabo 15. 6 hammerdrill. It has more torque than Bosch 24V drill. I also own Bosch 14. 4 and 18v drills. They boyh are very well made units, exept battery charge last short time. So the Panasonic I still rate as my#1 choice. It charges the battery in 15 min.

I've been using an old Dewalt DW945 for the past 13+ years or so. It works OK, but not much power. Low power is to be expected though as it is only a 12v. :-laf

Freedom Power

Milwaukee cordless drills, sawzall, circular saw 28 v

Milwaukee cordless 14 v drill

Snap-On 14. 4 v cordless drills

IR 3/8 impact gun

My favorite is by far Milwaukees. I have all the above listed. Big Red is the best!



DeWalt does not seem to cut it ! Batteries do not last. Have them also.

 

[Holysmokes]

BOSH..... 1/4" cordless impact. Dont know how many thousands of screws I torque a week.

 

[mlandis2]

Milwaukee and Hilti

 

[Headshot zod]

everything else is Milwaukee and Dewalt
