Do Bosch tools not exist outside of Germany? Here the professional (blue) line is pretty much on par with hilti and Makita in terms of quality if not better depending on the type of tool
Bosch doesnt really enter the chat in a lot of places because their range of (excellent) tools just isnt that big.
If you're looking to enter a dad dick measuring contest with your tool collection Bosch isnt going to win, I swear Ryobi is about 3 seconds from bringing out a battery powered battery.
So basically, Bosh is Bosh-batons Academy of Magic.
Mastercraft/Amazon Basic brand over here for us squibs too.
Stanley is the dark arts. They own DeWalt, we all pretend DeWalt isn't just a front for Stanley, but we all know they are sus. Users of Stanley tools are known as Deck Eaters.
I was wondering when someone would mention MasterCrap
I have Ryobi's battery powered power supply, so... kinda!
There’s some Bosch stuff in the UK. I’m a Makita person but I recently bought a Bosch glue gun and it’s the most solid feeling glue gun I’ve ever had.
Not a professional line but I also know a few people that love the Parkside tools from Lidl, they are good value home tools so I’m told.
The Lidl tools give me some serious Harbor Freight vibes.
They exist in NA but definitely aren't as popular. The Bosch evsk1617 kit is still the best value for a larger size (not palm) router kit.
Bosch os common throughout Europe. In the US it probably suffers from the not invented here syndrome. Or maybe just heavy taxes, or they don't think blue is manly enough. Who can tell?
Is that the blue or green stuff? The blue stuff is pretty consistently good I think, the green stuff is the "I'm a broke student" stuff.
Green vs Blue.
Thing is I've only seen their cheap and really crappy line.
I've let the smoke out of a Bosch drill before, they're not that great.
I work with Hilti tools at work. You just made me giggle, thanks!
Dewalt is still that well regarded? My dad fucking hates them lol we used to have a good amount of their stuff and then tool after tool broke on him and he won't buy them unless he doesn't have a better option (he and my brother are HVAC/plumbers). He likes Milwaukee but thinks they're overpriced, and has a decent amount of Ryobi stuff now, along with Bosch. My grandpa was the Makita man.
I have a lot of Ryobi and Makita hand-me-downs as a result, haven't really had to buy much of my own yet, but that's changing.
All of my DeWalt gear straight up fucks. Anything else is toys though my Incra router table swings a fat Makita and my mitering chop saw is a Rigid.
Festool is the dad who still says "My father will hear about this". Sure people like him but he's still an asshole.
Festool is like a Porsche. They are expensive, but once you experience it you understand why they are worth that price.
I was wondering where Festool gang was at
As a bisexual Makita dad, this describes me well.
Damn bro, we should hang. Makita dad meetup
Love my overpriced German Metabo.
I have a metaboHPT Brad nailer and it was absolutely the most affordable I could find outside of harbor freight level, and at the same time one of my highest quality tools. Truly a joy to use.
MetaboHPT are Hitachi. I wish their tools were compatible with my Metabo gmbh CAS batteries.
Everyone except the Ryobi dads sound like they must be exhausted tbh..
No doubt lol
Can confirm I’m in debt
Bosch in the meantime is just working working and working. No sex, no fun, just work.
Anyone buying Hilti for DIY work needs to be slapped.
