<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Here is my take...</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Dewalt has the most tools and is really
solid. (Except their chainsaw!)</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Milwaukee is pretty much top of the
heap, but expensive and don't have as many different tools.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">All other brands are less costly and
have a great selection, but seem to be more 'consumer' than 'professional.'</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">My way is to go Dewalt for most things
and do Milwaukee for the stuff they are WAY better at. (chainsaws,
pole trimmers, etc.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Also note, the land of the rising sun
is now making tons of tools that are compatible with Dewalt and Milwaukee's
batteries. These tools are super cheap (both in quality and price)
but really extend the offerings of both brands. Tons of options for lights,
inverters, etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Amen.</font>

<br><font size="3">Followed all the suggestions, still not budging the lug
nuts. It's running off a regular yellow coiled air line, straight from
the compressor tank. </font>
<br>
<br><font size="3">Everyone is so bullish on the battery impacts maybe I
need one. </font>
<br>
<br><font size="3">So...which one? I didn't have any other battery tools
(lost in the same fire that got my air tools), so I don't have an existing
battery ecosystem I want to use. </font>
<br>
<br><font size="3">Twenty years ago I had a Milwaukee 18v impact that was
no more impressive than the 2131 and I didn't use it except at the track.
I assume they've improved since then. </font>
<br>
<br><font size="3">Are they all about the same or is one clearly better than
the others? </font>
<br>
<br><font size="3">Thanks fellas. </font>
