Discuss Cordless drill - Dewalt vs Milwaukee in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
My Milwaukee tools have taken an absolute beating and still perform like the day I bought them.. I have only needed to buy new batteries over the last 4 or so years.Which is the better cordless drill between Milwaukee M18 4.0AH brushless cordless combi drill and Dewalt DCD778M2T-SFGB 18V 4.0AH brushless cordless combi drill?
I find that using different battery platforms for tools is ok if they are frequently used tools, over the years I've found that batteries that are not frequently used tend to have a shorter life than you expectI use dewalt and festool a lot. But latest tool is a Ryobi 2nd fix brad gun. If I had to ...I would buy another Ryobi . What keeps most people locked into a brand is batteries and chargers . I dont play that game .I buy the best for the job
Thats called "battery management !! and involves making sure the stuff not used often is kept in good order .Different types of batteries have different ways of stopping them from dying quicklyI find that using different battery platforms for tools is ok if they are frequently used tools, over the years I've found that batteries that are not frequently used tend to have a shorter life than you expect
Mine have taken whatever I can throw at them, and sometimes being thrownBeen using Milwaukee since 2008, still use original 12v batteries. Been using M18 for 8 years, no problems with tools or batteries. Summer or winter.
Tools do everything asked of them, usually more than design spec.
