And when you buy Milwaukee tools you can get an adapter to use their batteries on your other brands of tools

Is nothing sacred?
I have a DeWalt circular saw, and a DeWalt cordless drill. Have had 'em both for years and used both extensively. Love these tools.
Mein Gott is nothing sacred?

My brother used to work at a tool company. He said dewalt got returned more than the other brands.
In the oilfield we use Milwaukee. They hold up to rough use.

I've used Milwaukee on the job and used it hard, never a problem. For home use I have been using Ryobi Lithium battery 3/8" drill and Ryobi circular saw am very impressed with the quality and performance of both.

Bar and chain removed. Full of oil. Anti klckback not tripped. Sprocket won’t turn. I have always had Stihl gas saws and love them.

Bought a Dewalt electric chain saw for the wife awhile back. 40V battery operated. Pretty impressed until it locked up tight. Probably around 2 hours run time or less. It is under warranty but the repair center is closed to the public because of COVID. Won’t answer the phone. One place that works on them says he has been waiting almost a year for parts. I used to like Dewalt but will be buying a different brand from now on. Any suggestions? I had the same problem with a Dewalt weedeater so I went and bought a new one, put the broken one in the box and returned it because it was used. I’ll play their game and I’ll win! LOL. That's awesome!

Milwaukee everything here also. Just bought a 4 pack of new batteries from triple batteries for 152 shipped. Will need the long lasting power next month when we start tapping trees again.

I used to like Dewalt but will be buying a different brand from now on. Any suggestions? Echo 58V. They come with a .043 gauge chain. It seemed to come off too easy. I put a .050 gauge chain on it and "run it in". The .050 gauge chain fit into the bar but it was tight,....smoked a bit for a few seconds when I ran it the first time, but after that it worked good. I've ran the pudding out of mine and it just keeps going. Here's a package, saw, battery, charger, for about $340. You can cut a *long* time on one charge and it only takes about 40 minutes to charge it up again. It's a good tool once you put a .050 gauge chain on it. https://www.rcpw.com/equipment/echo-chainsaws/CCS-58V4AH.html![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Ghg08t3c/ECH-CCS-58-V4-AH.jpg)

I have a bunch of DeWalt battery operated tools, including a blower and weedeater and they've been great. That being said, I managed one of the largest foundation repair companies in the country and can say that Milwaukee makes great tools. They took an incredible beating on a daily basis and stood up very well. Hilti are also good but I'd say Milwaukee would be my first pick.

Electric chainsaws are only good for cutting windows and doorways.

I have a Dewalt impact wrench, one of the better models. It's a beast and I mean that in a good way.

I have a close coworker who was a manager at fastenal for years. He oversaw all tool returns. #1 for returns is Milwaukee. He owns nothing but Dewalt. I have no skin in this game. Sorry to hear about your experience.
Me personally, I'd lend a lot of heft to what Project Farm says.

Dewalt has sucked for years. I still have a sheet rock drill but it's corded and it's was bought when Dewalt built things with right.
