Milwaukee for battery
DeWalt for corded
I can't even recommend DeWalts corded stuff anymore. In the last few years their warranty service has gone from "It broke and you don't have a receipt? Serial number checks out, we'll send you a new one." to "It broke 3 months into a year warranty and you do have all the receipts? Well, send it in to one of our sketchy third party repair centers for a quote."
Screw that, I'll just buy another off amazon and return the broke one for far less hassle. And I'll buy a different brand next time.
Milwaukee has an incredible catalog of cordless stuff. As a Makita, I sometimes get jealous.
I prefer Bosch for corded, but since it's not an ecosystem, Im not brand loyal there.
Makita has great corded too so at least you can stay teal for both battery and corded!
Agree when it comes to ecosystems im not tied to dewalt for corded, I have a Ryobi hammer drill because it does what I need.
The only real complaint I have with Milwaukee is that the 12v and 18v are not able to share equipment. I love the 12v gear for being light weight and powerful, but sometimes the tool I need uses the 18v batteries :(
Hilti for powder-actuated (I guess)
thankfully I dont need powder tools for anything any more.
