Milwaukee routinely tests better in reviews. With that said, I can find DeWalt in more places, they’re less expensive, it’s owned by an American company (not a Hong Kong one, like Milwaukee), and many of the DeWalt tools are built/assembled in the USA.
Since the DeWalt have more than enough power for me, and are plenty durable for my every few weeks/monthly use, it’s a “compromise” I’m willing to make.
DeWalt.

Started years ago with Makita 9.8v cordless drill. For the price of batteries, I got into DeWalt cordless. For batteries/chargers, stayed there.
My daughter has a couple Ryobi that she bought for the color - lime green is her fave.

I've got a 25 y/o magnesium Makita hypoid saw. I will pass it on when I die. I have never had the motor on a Makita tool fail.

DeWalt. the Milwaukee battery that came with my grease gun would not run it would not charge would not do freaking nothing. I read up and checked out how to jump start this thing and I encourage you to do the same but it did actually work and got to charge and away we go so I do not buy that Milwaukee test all this [bleep] that's [bleep] bullshit

Still using ancient DeWalt 12volt drill/drivers. Hate using the Makita cordless. Love the Milwaukee tools.

All my cordless models are Milwaukee, all M18 except for a M12 "dremel" tool.
Corded tools vary, Fein, Bosch, Festool, Makita and a Miwaukee heat gun. Probably another one (or two) I'm forgetting.

I have something from all of them. I do have a cordless power tool set from Ryobe and have had good luck with them.

Any thing but Dewalt....they need to be repaired the most.
Have lots of cordless tools , Milwaukee rules . They make more cordless than any other.

I hate to this, but Ridged. I’ve heard good things about Ridgid. I love mine!!
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

I have moved to Milwaukee tools and have been generally pleased with the purchases.
Okay, except for the minor point that I actually have to use them.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Only bought one Dewalt and that was a corded 3/8 drill. The gears stripped before the price sticker wore off. That turned me away from Dewalt. Now I have only Ridgid battery tools and a corded Hitachi drill. I’ve put the Ridgid drill through hel# building pasture fences.
