Milwaukee or Dewalt?
My old Dewalt 18v. batteries are dying one by one. I am looking to buy a full set on new tools. Anybody have experience with Milwaukee? What does the *Fuel designation mean? The set I want must include the 1/2" impact.
I would consider other brands.

I have always used DeWalt,but I started going to a local Tools Direct store and the prices were so good on Ryobi I have a lot of their 20 and 40 volt tools.So far so good. The direct tools sell Ryobi,Ridgid and some Milwaukee that TTI makes.They also make the Hart tools that Walmart sells.

The older Milwaukee tools with a cord are built like a tank and will last forever. I have a DeWalt 14.4 drill that I have had forever and abuse quite a bit. No complaints. DeWalts 14.4 Batteries are over priced junk and I will never buy another one. For $20 i get a new one on Fleabay and it last longer than the DeWalt battery. Just my 2 cents. ----------Ray

95% of my battery tools are DeWalt, and I think I have 1 Milwaukee. I have been very happy with the DeWalt tools and the 20V batteries. My older DeWalts that are 18V, not so much.

I have used almost every brand out there, and found Milwaukee to be the best so far. I use cordless tools every day, all day long. Dewalt is not bad either, but I prefer the Milwaukee more. Get the brushless tools or drill. If you don't, you will be taking it back within two weeks. Also, buy yourself the extended life 5.0 batteries. The tool that are not brushless, over heat the batteries and kills them super quick.

I had/have a Porter Cable 16 ga nailer that just quit on me. It was probably 6-8 years old... I talked to a guy at Lowes about it. He gave me a phone# and told me to called Stanley/Black and Decker. I called and explained what was going on, I gave them model number etc... They shipped me a brand new nailer ( even came with a hard plastic carrying case)
Could you post the phone number please?

Did you know that DeWalt 20V tools are really only 18V?

I couple or so of you guys have mentioned the Dewalt 20V/18V adapter. My many Dewalt tools are 18V and my problem has been with the battery release. Maybe my fingers are just too sore to operate the release buttons. It looks like using the 20V batteries would solve that problem. Any complaints with that adapter?

Just buy NEW stuff. The new 20v systems are WAY better than the old 18 volt ones, dewalt and Milwaukee.
Cordless tools have come a LONG ways in the past 10 years.
I use the Dewalt 20v brushless XR tools.

I no longer do construction for a living. when i was we used porter cable and some dewalt . I would go with whichever you can get the best deal on . The porter cable folks quit catering to the pros and went after the hobby market
