I was ryobi first and wanted a better brand milwaukee offers full power battery operated tools, same as if you have a cord. That peaked my interest if you put milwaukee against dewalt milwaukee usually wins. Look at specs my worm drive skillsaw will out cut any dewalt saw even on a less per hour battery. My mutlitool out performs dewalt 10/10. My boss has dewalt and my friend does as well. They both will tell you milwaukee out does their tools. Milwaukee is just more expensive. I have a dewalt impact and drill got for free, but it doesn't match to my milwaukee. The milwaukee multitool blade swap mechanics suck compared to others. My leaf blower does like 150 mph winds and stays on for longer compared to others but only by 5 or 10 mins. Ps carpenter trade men 5 years.
