Just curious how many tradesman/construction folks are on here who build/fix things (even d-i-y ers) and what tool brand of choice yall use. Im a milwaukee guy and use it for work daily but curious what brands you all use and your experiences with them. If you got anything really neat or crafty/creative would love to see pictures!
Power tool of choice to get the job done

¡Órale!Bro am Mexican, D-Y-I it's part of my blood
that comes with the job my friend,
there's always after work....
or maybe, maybe we could go into lowcountry's backyard for some pitza pitza
No doubt Milwaukee makes great tools.
A few years back I was dating this chick who was a lobbyist for a few of the local trade unions. Milwaukee was always at the "events" giving out product. She had enough product to start her own shop if she wanted to.
If I was using tools a a pro I'd go with Milwaukee.
As a DIYer, and I may get some hate for this but, I have a bunch of Ryobi impacts that are really good. I also have a Ryobi sliding miter saw that makes perfect cuts.
I have a Milwaukee stationary chop saw that I like too. Got it for $50 at a yard sale with a new diablo blade. Worth every penny.
The only issue I've ever had with a Ryobi 1/2 impact was taking the lug nuts off my truck. Im pretty sure they were way over torqued. I saw plenty of vids online with that model taking lug nuts off a truck.

Thorcy you re no doubt a very interesting man sir. Do you eat haberno chilies perhaps or corn tortillas? Have you ever had 3 tacos made of crispy hoffy bacon with good guacamole slopped in and .a bite or two of orange haberno chile. washed down with a cheesy tecate beer.

Hmm sir if you think I'd like to post a bit too much. OMG don't get me started on posting my crafts. I work with polymer clay!!! Make fishing lures and stuff magnets, tie a crafting buzz, get out my tools turn youtube Clay videos in the background and go to town!!!
omg sir you and Predz Thomas Jefferon 2 peas in a pod. He invented the rollers you may on your desk chair. Benjam Franklin would roll around in the chair. haha saw it on John Adman's series with Paul Gammtit or something. omg fantastic.
I have rollerblade style wheels on my chair. Id use skateboard style wheels if I could but Id have to fabricate the bracket and I don't have the tools to do that.omg sir you and Predz Thomas Jefferon 2 peas in a pod.

I don't have the money to own power tools yet but when I was working as a fencer, we used Milwaukee drills and portable band saws, and I think a hitachi heavy duty drill to drill rock.
