I found a set of Makita tools for 60% off last year and now I'm Makita battery dependent for the rest of my life
In 10 years you will have thousands of dollars in makita tools because hey, that hammer drill you needed was only $110, better get another battery too, your old ones are getting tired. ๐คทโโ๏ธ and you will always have makita tools, forever. Even if you hate them.
I used to be ride or die for Makita as an electrician, but they've gone downhill lately and their battery prices are insane! Used to be a Makita could fall off a ladder onto the chuck and bounce. Last year my crew had two drills newly bought that year CATCH FIRE and one strip the gearbox. Embarassing performance.
I've pivoted to Ridgid with their dirt cheap batteries with lifetime warranty. And I have a couple Ridgid->Makita adapters to use my new collection of Ridgid batteries with my tough old Makita tools. Battery adapters will free you from that lock-in.
Honestly I've been impressed with the Ridgid tools though, same manufacturer as Milwaukee and Ridgid has always been a big brand with plumbers. The brushless tools I've bought have been powerful and robust so far. No regrets
So TTI manufactures Milwaukee, Ryobi, and Ridgid power tools. I didn't know they did Ridgid too. I wonder how many manufacturers there really are for the plethora of power tool brands. I'm gonna guess like three.
Wait TTI does dewalt too? I thought dewalt was same co as Milwaukee.
DeWalt is Stanley Black and Decker not tti
