    1. Is it really fair to include Hilti? I agree they’re a solid tier above and deserve a high spot but they’ve always been pretty specialized and limited in scope until somewhat recently. Their coring and rotary hammer stuff is PRIMO and has been, but is that pedigree enough to trust the rest of their somewhat newer stuff?

      Not arguing at all here, I’m genuinely asking because I don’t have much experience with anything besides the classic stuff we all go to Hilti for.

      They definitely should have been included in this guy’s list though, at least as an honorable mention. Especially if Ryobi made it (and I happen to be pleasantly surprised by most everything I try from Ryobi but I recognize they’ve got to make consistently good stuff for a while longer to be known as a trusted solid brand).

    2. @Junfeng Jiang those are damn good brands like metabo and fein,even Hilti and festool, ingersoll , and old brands scintilla ,Hitachi etc

  1. Kobalt hand tools suck so bad. I had a kobalt inflator for the drag strip and it was great and an electric chainsaw that’s bombproof.

  2. Dewalt has pack out radio to fan and dewalt has a amazing tool storage and dewalt was first in the radio fan and pack system

  3. I feel triggered. You defiled the honor of Harbor freight. I’d like to file a complaint with your manager.

  4. For my use case, Milwaukee has been the best. With m12 and M18 stuff they cover almost everything I need and it’s all high enough for me. Some stuff could be better, but it’s the best for me.

  5. In my opinion Dewalt and Rigid have been the least innovative on the top 5. Their newer tools have removed features from previous models that were very handy from magnetic driver holders on their drills and my biggest complaint is they have gone backwards on their wet saw. #Dewalt call me. I have an innovative feature to your wet saw which is my number 1 tool

  6. My boss told me you like green you buy green you like blue you buy blue you like yellow buy yellow lmao

  7. Until I became disabled, my career had nothing to do with home tools, especially woodworking. Buying the best and most expensive for hobbies and DIY’ing, made zero sense.

    I have Ryobi, some Ridgid bench tools, some WEN bench tools and air/dust cleaners. Some Craftsmen tools from 15 years ago, and pretty much all of my dads Millwrighting tools which he gave me, some older than I am.

    One day, in the pub, I argued with a fella who claimed that he only owned Snap-On, Festool, and Grizzly…as it turns out, he lived in a basement suite, and probably didn’t know how to use a wrench.

    Unless they are total garbage, any tool in the right hands is good enough. For me Ryobi (green), with better quality bits and blades work just fine. Tune them, look after them, use them right.

  8. Dewalt is absolutely trash. We’ve went through 1 drill, 2 3/8 impacts rebuilt our 1/2 impact and 1 grinder. All within a year of purchase with medium duty use. I personally own milwaukee and everybody on the farm goes for mine before even considering the dewalts anymore.

  9. gave up on dewalt, now they just make them to break so u buy more. Milwaukee is where it’s at for the the long run.

  10. This kind of list makes no sense, it’s all about what you do with your tools, not the brand. You don’t get better by switching between hilti and Festool, or from Makita to Milwaukee. You get better by learning to use the tool you have!

  11. Festool…has no rival.!!
    Rigid, because of their lifetime warranty…
    Then maybe…metabo
    Then Milwaukee
    Then…. if I had no other choice…the
    “Over rated”” Over priced, small “d”
    *dee wault*

  12. For the price Ryobi is number 1 for housework and they will last you for year’s. If I was a Pro, then I would have to go with the more expensive tools like Milwaukee, or Dewalt brands.

  13. Makita is easily the best for a full time construction worker such as myself but I will say that royalb is a decent DIY brand

  14. Ran makita for a few years, just switched to milwaulkee because of a promotion i need more specific tools. Abused my makita stuff, all brushed too. Makita and milwaulkee top 2 no doubt

  15. I just bought some Roybi tools. But mainly have dewalt. How bad a step down did I do. Also you remind me of the epic meal time dudes the energy you bring. 😂

  16. Portacable is my brand. Most my cordless tools are from porta. I love them. However, I start looking for a new cordless tool line now, and you know why. Sadly, Porta cable is dying.

  17. My top 3 (cause I haven’t used more than 3 tool brands in my short time in the trades)
    1. Dewalt
    2. Makita
    3. Milwaukee

  18. Ridgid is number 1 for plumbing tools
    Hilti kicks ass for anything masonry related drilling cutting
    Milwaukee is excellent for HD professional use power tools
    Ridgid and Ryobi HP (only HP) are roughly the same for medium/LIGHT duty professional use
    Regular Ryobi is on par with something like mastercraft here in Canada for homeowner gear

  19. You guys are kidding yourselves. Metabo not even mentioned? What a joke. Far better than the whole lot of these brands.

  20. I like also the other big names but i consider only 3 brands which i have and used most of the time plus the availability of spareparts in my country namely makita,dewalt and bosch. These three brand were popular on contractor tested on their toughness and quality

  21. Hilti is number 1 at what they do but as far as opinions and expansive 1 battery systems Milwaukee and DeWalt are easily top 2. When my company bought all my tools I swore buy Milwaukee. Now that I quit that job and have to buy my own tools I swear by DeWalt! Black and yellow!

  22. You didn’t even mention the reason folks bother with Ridgid – the Lifetime LSA on the batteries.
    Dewalt is also #1 because everyone sells them, you can get tool deals from every major retailer, where you can only get any of the TTI tools and Makita mostly just from Home Depot

  23. I am an electrician and have been running BOSCH for over 15 years now. I love them!
    Also if you are claiming best tools in the world Bosch would be higher because they are probably the top dawg in Europe…. Just my two cents

  24. Most of my tools are 20 plus years old. Many as old as 35. My Porter Cable and Craftsman stuff is still around. My Ryobi and Makita didn’t last. In newer stuff, I’m happy with my Dewalt and Ridgid.

  25. I don’t keep all same brand tools. Rather go by performance of tool for it’s job. With that being said, most of my tools are DeWalt.

  26. I am a joiner in the uk 🇬🇧 and in are workshop all the chaps have different power tools Milwaukee Makita deWalt but as a Milwaukee man l still say all of these tools do the job and well but what l will say you need tough tools when you use them every day stay safe chaps 👍

  27. for those that aren’t in America, Ridgid is called AEG in Australia, New Zealand and a number of other countries.

  28. As a gardener, my number one company is Husqvarna, extremely close is Stihl. Both companies are the dog’s bollocks!

  29. At this point I’d kick rigid and ryobi out and put in hilti and flex. And lets be honest you cant have a top 5 list without mentioning dewalt

  30. Starts off list with Rigid. Says midway through “ok so these aren’t the best tools, but..”

    Why are they on the list of best tools lol

  31. It mostly depends on the jobs being done. I heard more Dewalt for carpentry and a little farming. Then Milwaukee for plumbing and electricians and farming. It mostly depends on that job being done for the the right tool.

  32. How is it that no one even mentioned craftsman. It should of at least made the honorable mention list. You walk into any job site with craftsman tools people will start laughing 😂 at you. It’s sad that craftsman is under appreciated now.

  33. Ryobi tools are cheap and I have had terrible experience with them. Get a dewalt or a rigid it’s a little more for a lot more.

  34. Makita. Powerful, quiet, comfortable and with low vibration. Perfect for a full day. They are also the toughest and live forever.

  35. Was second guessing buying a drill and driver combo from Ridgid, but now I’m feeling better, can’t wait to test them out on the job this week 👍

    1. I have it and it hasn’t let me down. With the right attachments it can handle it all, i even mix concrete with it

  36. Idk man i have a dewalt saw and it dies so fast it wont even cut but again its a little old. Heres my rating 1 milwaukee 2 makita 3 bosch 4 ryobi 5 rigid

  37. Milwaukee is my everyday. But I feel u on dewalt for concrete tools and construction I’m I’m HVAC and refrigeration and I believe in Milwaukee to me they’re more durable

  38. Interesting the hate on certain tool brands. When TTI owns hart, rigid, Milwaukee, and ryobi. Stanley Black and Decker owns Dewalt, Bostitch, black and decker, porter cable, and craftsman. Most manufacturers have several lines coming out of one place, and the difference a lot of time is the brand stamped on the side. So we buy the brand not the quality because at the end of the day they are the same in my opinion.

  39. Im in commercial construction in the DC area and i must say Dewalt is by far the most used power tools by most trades from my experience. Milwaukee would be 2nd. Some makita/hilti here and there but its really all dewalt.

  40. Metabo HPT kills DeWalt lol 😂 we always compete at work and the 1/2 impact wrench XR 20v busted had to buy another and busted again while the metabo hpt is alive and well, the cordless framing nailer on DeWalt has plastic and therefore always bust near the nail rail mechanism, we’ve burnt out more Ryobi and dewalts than anything…

    1. Milwaukee
    2. Hikoki/Metabo HPT/ Hitachi
    3. Festool
    4. Rigid
    5. Bosch

  41. Here’s my list from 10th to 1st, I’ve also added the tool’s colours so you can picture which brand I’m on about

    🤮☠️Hitachi☠️🤮

    10 😂Parkside😂 (dark green)
    9 Bosch DIY (green)
    8 Ryobi (light green)
    7 Milwaukee (red)
    6 Bosch Professional (blue)
    5 Kobalt (royal blue)
    4 Erbauer (navy blue)
    3 Ridgid (orange)
    2 DeWalt (yellow)
    1 Makita (teal)

  42. What about Cressman? Black and decker‘s OK but they’re not so good for the long run. Stanley has a few things that are good. I can’t remember the other names of some of the other tool brands, but craftsman pretty good.

  43. My tool brand wasn’t mentioned but I buy my tools according to their color and its green called Greenfield that’s locally sold in stores here in my country.

  44. Kobalt looked SO cheap in person tho!!……prices were Way too high for “box store” brand…….I just dished the money and went Milwaukee….they have a million tools for the M12 alone…..plus the M18 line….it’s Simple and easy to understand.

  45. I’m the only guy on my site who rocks craftsman, people sleep on my brand, their tools are two levels, entry level tools cheap pretty shitty, then their brushless tools out preforms Bosch outperforms dewalt, and that’s just their power tools, if we’re talking hand tools? Don’t even get me started you need pliers? Alright pick a flavor and then some, you need a hammer? Over 20 flavors, you need bits and a nice case? Best bang for the buck, oh and did I mention everything fits together? All bit boxes feed together in the Vera stack system it’s amazing when I can grab my tool back and right underneath it is a set of like 200 assorted bits, craftsman is an amazing brand

  46. Can’t go wrong with Dewalt, Makita, or Milwaukee. Simply the most well rounded brands . The other brands mentioned are also good. The top 3 just have all the bases covered

  47. I tried them all Milwaukee is # 1 just stop by a recycling center the battery bin is always full of Dewalt , Mikita , rigid , the green one but hard to find a Milwaukee battery. Just saying what I see. Cheers

  48. I was hoping for a little more facts, a little less entertainment. I feel like I didn’t learn anything about the tools themselves.

  49. Not a great fan of the blanket positivity. It comes across as saccharine and not entirely honest when there’s apparently nothing but good things to say about every single brand that comes up.

  50. I work for a huge commercial general contractor. Of the brands mentioned in terms of reliability.
    1-Bosch
    2- Makita
    3-Milwaukee
    4-Rigid
    5-DeWalt
    Bosch has been our most reliable tools. 2nd and 3rd is a toss up it could go either way. DeWalt breaks down more than anything. It’s kinda sad how much our DeWalts break.

  51. I did a bunch of research years ago when I started buying cordless tools. Went with Bosch. But it doesn’t seem like they hold up very well to hard use. I’ve had to replace my multi-tool and grinder. Their tools just seem to get really hot and quit. Looking for a video that can help me find a more reliable brand. Hopefully some other YouTuber will have some substance in his video, with some testing and facts that are actually helpful. This guy just talks a lot and says nothing.

  52. Milwaukee is the best carpentry sorry to break it to you. And dewalts concrete stuff is wank 😂 and theres a reason my boss who bought all dewalt stuff is now buying 1st and 2 nd fix nailers and bits because the dewalt bits snap more….

  53. When you put dewalt on the top because you a fan girl that doesn’t like the fact that the red bois have better tools than you. And you know for a fact Makita isn’t as good as either. This mans just like I know Milwaukee is the best but I have all yellow tools because I didn’t do my research and spent all my money on them and makita have a load of pointless stuff that no one even needs 😂

  54. @14:21 when know what he really wanted to say..

    Whether your sanding drywall or cuttin grass, makita has something for your ass!

  55. ..festool?
    Btw i think it would make more sense to pick a best brand for each type of tool. They’re all top quality but one makes better impact driver than other, and the other one may have better angle grinders etc.
    That is why i’m not going with the same brand for all my tools

  56. From my experience(i’m 18 and have been working at job sites for bit over 3 years now)
    5. Panasonic/ Festool
    4. Hilti
    3. Senco( the frame nailers and automatic drywall screwdrivers are the best no doubt)
    2. Makita
    1. Milwaukee

  57. Kobalt power tools are awesome. Their hand tools suck, though. Worst I’ve ever bought. I don’t even look at them anymore.

  58. makita is overpriced crap with poor quality control. although they have a couple of good tools like their hand planer. While Milwaukee has tons of tools, many of which are also crap, they have many more great tools more useful than makita. The fact that you highlighted makita’s coffee maker says alot. Dewalt is all marketing, and they do have some nice tools especially their accessory sets.
    I agree with the honorable mentions though. So, I would tie Dewalt and Milwaukee and Makita third. No festool? Craftsman? Oh thats right you are young.

  59. attached bottle opener ……. What, can’t you just open a bottle of beer against another capped bottle?????!!!! Pus*y

  60. I fuckinf love this. Also my friend is a big makita fan and gives me shit all the time for using dewalt. I love this video lol

  61. 30-Second Summary of Ryobi vs. Milwaukee

    Ryobi and Milwaukee are both owned by Hong Kong based manufacturing company Techtronic Industries. Although they share the same parent company, Ryobi and Milwaukee are not the same; in fact, their positioning in the market is very different.

    Ryobi is known for making professional-grade tools that are high-quality yet affordable. Their target market is homeowners and professionals looking for a lower cost option without sacrificing performance. Ryobi drills are reliable and high-performing but come with fewer features, which allows them to keep their prices low.

    Milwaukee builds its products primarily for professional users while keeping homeowners in mind. Milwaukee drills come with extra features, more speed, and longer runtimes to fulfill the needs of professional and extreme DIYers; however, those extras come with a higher price tag.

    Bottom line—if you’re on a budget and you need a drill to do small jobs around the house, Ryobi is your best option. If you’re planning to use your drill for more than just the occasional household project, spending a little more for Milwaukee’s extra features are worth it.

  62. Love dewalt have to say it is the best all around tool brand but if you’re just useing drills ide go Milwaukee as there drills are the top rn

  63. You are very annoying man you shouldn’t be on social media buy a few chicken and goats move to the mountains so you can scream as much as you want.

  64. You should consider be coming a Orchestra conductor 😂, or better yet a power tool conductor , you’re just missing that baton (stick) 😇

  65. I love Ryobi as far as I can remember. Now I got the OnePlus 18 volt and I buy a tool every month whether I need it or not.

  66. Dewalt IS NOT in anyway number one, your out of your mind kid…….Why because you absolutely cannot make a company at the top that has a “F” RATING from the BBB The Better Buisness Bureau! That’s right and don’t get me started on how many times they changed their battery platform. Milwaukee, Mikita, are far more impressive oh and good luck with those warranty claims with dewalt tools if you ever see your tool again.

  67. 1. DeWalt
    2. Milwaukee
    3.Ryobi
    4. Makia
    5. Ridgid

    Don’t even get me started on Black and Decker

  68. I hate ryobi color and the reciprocating saw, that damn orbital mode, is it on? Is it off? Who knows? Why are the damn batteries expensive too? I like the dewalt and metabo hpt line, also kobalt. And skil.

  69. I just bought a DeWalt corded saw (compound, 7 1/4″) with the want to own and use for a lifetime. I’m glad there is a lot of positive feedback about the brand as I am a novice and the brand is not the lowest-priced in its market. I’m glad to have chosen my brand and color because I do not want my tool collection to look like a rainbow in the end haha 😀

  70. Every brand he mentioned is great. I’ve used most of them. It does seem like the hardcore contractors use more Mikita and Milwaukee though. I use DeWalt and love them.

  71. Think about it. You CAN NOT have a truly cordless job site unless you have enough batteries. You MUST keep chargers with you to charge batteries and those have cords.

  72. DeWalt if definitely dope love their tool use them all the time but I do think overall it should be a bit lower. Definitely top 5 for sure, I would say top 3. I would say Makita has better power tools and Milwakee has the absolute best power tools but DeWalt is more expansive, has some of the best hand tools, and is definitely sufficient at any trade.

  73. In Europe 1 Mafell 2 festool/protool 3 Hilti/Fein 4 Makita/ Milwaukee 5 Bosch/dewalt and Panasonic/Flex on the 6 place this are some of the the most popular ones a carpenter/builder works with in Holland 🇳🇱

  74. Dewalt was good until they brought out the flexvolt battery witch is a pile of shit. iv had to replace 4 in a year due to not charging. i was told by Dewalt not to run them till they die and it will sort the problem. I sorted the problem by replacing it with Milwaukee.

  75. He reminds me of Dwight schrute when he was chosen to give a speech and Jim pranked him on how to give the speech lmao

  76. XTR baby! Good call including Kobalt. The title “in the world” though has to make it either Makita or Hilti. IMHO, your list should be “Top 5 in North America”…

  77. 1 : bosch
    2 : milwaukee
    3 : makita
    4 : dewalt
    5 : ridgid
    I’m in renovation and i work with bosch and milwaukee n i defenetly like bosh more than Milwaukee

  78. Been working in wrecking yard for the past 12 months and have been stocking up on Snap on / Blue point gear. How does it stack up quality/ value wise?

  79. Ridgid warranty is a joke had to drive 60 plus miles for shity workmanship had to go back 3 times no lie not worth it. Switched to Milwaukee and have not been disappointed

  80. It makes me sad because I like Hitachi, can’t say what the like now since the name change but my hitachi set is probably the best tools I’ve ever used even compared to milwaukee and dewalt, I had nothing but problem with them in the pass.

  81. Honestly I think it depends what tools you use from each company to determine there place for me it’s mechanic tools so milwaukee takes 1st hands down especially considering they take down snap on but if I was in a different field my opinion might be different but regardless milwaukee makita and dewalt deserve top 3 and always will regardless of your brand

  82. I just want like the Honda/Acura of power tools/cordless tools.

    I heard Ryobi is like the Invicta of tools…at least someone told me that

  83. hilti has best sds drilling.
    mafell has best track saw cutting but expensive.
    dewalt has best impact driving but the chargers dont last.
    ridgid has the best radio and longetivity.
    milwaukee has all of these qualities cant fault them at all. makita batteries dont last . the new bosch procore looks promising but wont hold my breath

  84. Meh the only reason Bosch is on the list is their tool selection. Otherwise Kobalt would be in the top 5.

  85. How is Ridgid’s lifetime warranty not even mentioned though?!! Honestly that’s the strongest factor when it comes to purchase price and quality.

  86. I believe that the reason why same dewalt tool is 18v in europe and 20v in usa is that dewalt thought that americans would have hard time to realize the difference between old 18v tools and new battery line. Voltage is same.

  87. Makita was best ten years ago. But pushing too many models too fast has brought it down. Many their tools are filled with small flaws which tell about lack of testing. Also they are using too much energy for these battery powered coffee machines and bicycles. Gadgets. They are still better than most in many areas though. Milwaukee and ridgid are targeted for plumbers and electricians i think and bosch is like mercedes, pioneer back in history but now builds overcomplicated tools. Festool is for fancy guys who do finish work and want to do things differently just because. Hilti is making great tools for concrete work and especially for big jobsites where no one owns their tools or cares about them. Their price is bit too high even though they last really well. Hitachi is a rising star i believe. But at the moment dewalt is superior as a construction tool brand. Price and quality are in balance. They pay attention on details and use more time to design well the most essential tools like chop saw and table saw and drills. They now lead in innovations and others follow and copy. But due to patents other brands need to make things differently which usually means worse. Nevertheless my biggest wish is that all big brands would start making universal batteries. No one wouldn’t have to be loyal to any brand anymore. Oh yeah, and all big tools with 60v platform and with ac/dc option. I love tools.

  88. He’s wearing a Dewalt hat. Was there any question what his number one would be! I like Milwaukee, but from what I’ve learned, almost all power tools are made by the same manufacturer

  89. Milwaukee and Ryobi, only need 2 battery chargers. Milwaukee can be real expensive for tools I use less often.

  90. DeWalt – 🤔 #1 but Ryobi is an honorable mention 🤔
    DeWalt is just a yellow version of Ryobi. Except they cost more and you think you get brownie points at the ladies auxiliary when you pull them out. Save your money, get the exact same tool with Ryobi. Who cares what other people think, especially since they’re not footing the bill.

  91. I think Skil, over time, will become a major force in the power tools market especially with Chervon backing them.

  92. Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, Rigid are my list but I like the colour red n black so I stick with Milwaukee

  93. Wow,I like your commentary and Excellent hard work, Thank you for providing me the best knowledge and video

  94. Dewalt are literally lacking behind makita in tools and are more expensive. But their batteries are top of the line. Milwaukee wipes the floor with them all

  95. I’ve never seen any Rigid tool on any job site once. Only Milwaukee, DeWalt, and the occasional Porter Cable, Makita, or Kobalt

  96. Is ryobi a good brand ? I honestly want to know you guys opinions about the brand. Some people have told me its a good brand and other’s say they break easily. Is ryobi’s industrial products worth buying?

  97. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 BOSCH in 4th when it should be no where near this list whatsoever “Bosch makes the best laser levels ever” are you kidding me fool, Leica or Top con smash there shit and finally how does FESTOOL not finish a clear clear winner what a joke

  98. Dewalt and Milwaukee for big jobs, Ryobi for small jobs. Ryobi makes everything! Their glue gun and soldering iron makes life so much easier

  99. Milwaukee, hands down there’s already been a comparison test done tool for tool and Milwaukee took it over all mentioned and took the winn over the snap-on line of cordless impacts as well,so for me its always Milwaukee

  100. i was searching for a tracksaw and nothing even came close to festool. Dewalt is nice for jobs where you don’t need that much of precision, Makita and Bosch are just cheaper alternatives for festool.

  101. I started out with my grandfather’s old ryobi’s he had from roofing (circa 2005 tools) and they worked a long time but unfortunately the old batteries are impossible to find and until I can rebuild them his old ryobi tool bag sits in a cabinet. I replaced them with milwaukee because the rest of my roofing coworkers use them. They gave grandpa and me crap for the longest time using those old ryobi’s but they did their job well. I’ll likely rebuild them and leave them at home for around the house use because they just can’t compete with my brushless Milwaukee’s.

    1. Im still running the Craftsman 19.2v C3 line (now defunct). Ive started investing in some Milwaukee Fuel stuff convinced my wife the C3 tools will give up soon…..but,…..THEY.WONT.DIE.
      Their one handed recip saw puts out 3500 strokes per minute. That is more than modern tools that are usually 3000.

  102. I watch a lot of project farm content, and almost every tools comparison he does, Milwaukee out performs everything, while dewalt is never even close! In my eyes, Milwaukee is hands down the best tool company out there and dewalt I might be at number 5, but no way they’re number one

  103. Always drilling holes in concrete for automation while dong integration work. Hiltis are amazing, Miliwalkies are okay, and Bosh is junk.

    100% honest professional opinion from years of using different shops drills. a bosh will always crap out on you if pushed to hard.

  104. This is DEFINITELY a biased opinion 😂…cause Hilti and Metabo are way better than all of the honorable mentions 🤣 and alot of the TOP 5 Ratings and for sure better than DeWalt 😏 pfff…and maybe better than Milwaukee too 🤔 (but then again maybe NOT 😌)

  105. Best power tool brands in the world – Ridgid. We don’t even have them in Europe! Best tool brands in America*

  106. I swear and die by ridgid tools. But in this video you left out an important factor. There are 2 different ridgid brands with very similar logos. The orange line tools are contracted to be manufactured by tti (maker of Milwaukee)and the red line tools aremade by emerson. Though they are contracted through these companies, “ridgid” is its own brand, independent of either company.

  107. Milwaukee no joke around about construction.they build everything wouldn’t be surprised they ended up building powerful batteries work trucks .

  108. I think I’d put Ryobi right around craftsman I’d rather buy Bauer if your looking for a huge variety of tools for very cheap. But to put Ryobi at the top of the list is just baffling I don’t know where you got this cordless tool list but it seems like a democratic survey. Like would you rather have a tool for $300 that will eventually breaks or a tool for $150 that will eventually break.

  109. 1 Milwaukee
    2 Milwaukee
    3 Milwaukee
    4 Milwaukee
    5 Milwaukee
    6 Milwaukee
    7 Milwaukee
    8 Milwaukee
    9 Milwaukee and
    10 Milwaukee

  110. I’m kinda cursed because going into contracting I just always stuck with good old milchalki then shortly after everything I owned turned red. Even my freaking car. I don’t even like red 😕

  111. no budget constraints either of DeWalt, Makita or Milwaukee, but with budget constraints, I choose Ryobi and haven’t been disappointed. Never heard of Ridgid or Kobalt but I’m in Oz so I think its a USA thing. Had a few Bosch tools but been disappointed.

  112. I love Milwaukee tools that we have at work but thinking about getting Ryobi tools at home. They’re now owned by the same company and hopefully will expand the Ryobi cordless lineup similar to how Milwaukee is.

    1. I’ll be honest here, I dropped DeWalt 20v and switched to Ryobi18v +One. I payed half the Money for Ryobi and in my opinion the Ryobi brand is Fantastic.

  113. Milwaukee is number 1!!!!
    You always put DeFAULT first, when they smoke up faster then any other major brand!
    You are to much of a shill for Default…..

  114. 1. Milwaukee (best in what they do on the wireless, covers more specialty items, 3 lines of tools and solid hand tools)
    2. Dewalt (best construction grade saws)
    3. Makita (most expansive wireless brand)
    4. Bosh (best in some areas like hammer drills.)
    5. Ridged (best for DIY low cost solid build)

  115. Hate their bits…Maikitas are my fav however I agree Dewalt is the shiznit when it comes to tools and their flex volt batteries are the best

  116. God tier:
    -Hilti (Europe)
    Indestructible, but stupid expensive. Geared towared more heavy industrial use.

    First place honorable mention:
    -Festool (Europe)
    Quality tool brand but sold almost exclusively in Europe. Doesnt have the widest selection of power tools, but more so geared toward wood working. Very niche.

    1st tier:
    -Bosch (Europe)
    -Milwaukee (USA)
    -DeWalt (USA)
    -Makita (Japan)

    2nd tier:
    -Skil (Europe)
    -Kobalt (USA)
    -Porter-Cable (USA)
    -Metabo HPT/Hitachi (Japan)

    3rd tier:
    Einhell (Europe)
    Craftsman (USA)
    Ridgid (USA)
    Ryobi (Japan)

    4th tier:
    Hart (USA)
    Hercules (USA)
    Masterforce (USA)
    Stanley (USA)

  117. I’m sorry but dewalt definitely does not deserve #1 spot. They get out performed by milwuakee every time

  118. Milwaukee also has the blower and the weed Wacker and the hedge trimmer and the chain saw and the removable heads.

  119. Rookie here, so be easy haha I’ve been upgrading my toolbox from Walmart tools to better tools, and feel like I chose the wrong brand based off of the comments/videos I’ve seen. Can anyone give me some insight on why no one chooses craftsman tools? I appreciate any information/guidance

  120. With today’s Technology most Brands of cordless power tools perform adequately, personally I use RYOBI, they have many different tools to choose from, they all use the same 18v lithium battery and they improve their lineup every year, I don’t see the need to purchase multiple Brands of power tools,thx for giving Ryobi an Honorable Mention 10:02 👍🏻😎

  121. Dewalt has great tools, my beef with dewalt is changing how their batteries hook up and forcing me to have to by a converter and new types of batteries for my 2008 dewalt cordless tools that still work great

  122. I’d do Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, DeWalt, Ryobi. I know Metabo makes some awesome tools but I haven’t used any of their new stuff so I can’t really “rate” it like I can the others. I really like Ryobi for simple stuff you don’t use a ton but come in handy. I don’t use a router too much, so Ryobi made sense.

  123. World? Frankly you don’t know what you are talking about. USA power tool market is a totally marketing dollars driven. Fact is every brand has its strength.Rotary & Demolition Hammers? Hilti / Makita / Bosch own the world. DEWALT and Milwaukee don’t exist. Grinders? Makita and Bosch own it. Hilti outsources mfg. USA market share is bought by marketing $$$. Don’t speak where you have no knowledge. Milwaukee CEO used to run DEWALT. He is genius marketer.

    1. Haha, it’s like my biggest issue with makita. Their boxes are so crappy looking I don’t even want to buy them.

  124. What about festool ??? It seems for Americans festool does not exist and probably tools No 1 in the World. Sorry

  125. I think that hart tools should be number one because their tools are expansive accessible and great quality for cheap

  126. It’s really hard to say who’s the best overall brand because looking at it that way you have to consider overall range and scope of products available. In my opinion only Ridgid and Makita probably cover more ground although we know Ridgid isn’t the best in quality but they do very well for professionals and have the best warranty. Again the mark of a good brand.

    If you’re talking best quality tools with large enough variety then I’d say:

    1. Milwaukee & Hilti tied for top quality and they rethink each product when they build again. Not the same old same old.
    Tie for 3 & 4 between DeWalt and Makita. Both top quality slightly below Milwaukee and Hilti but wider range of products both compete for the top spot in many categories.
    Then Ridgid @ #5.

    1. Hilti
    1. Milwaukee
    3. DeWalt
    3. Makita
    5. Ridgid

  127. Bosch is really bad Now Days. And sadly Makita is from Chia too. But still good.. Dewalt eeeewww. As yellow as the chinese. Milwaukee Japan really good. Ryobi green Japan really nice.

  128. RYOBI is great for the Price. Some ryobi is exspensive do and does get Better. (Brushless). You get a Lot of power for most of the tools. And the selection of tools is incredible.

  129. I cannot stand Ryobi being in second I bought 10 toos
    From them the batteries all died within a month and would not recharge

  130. Dewalt –
    Milwaukee
    Hilti- there tools are high and honestly I only tell people hilti tools are great cause it’s a myth that hilti is number 1 but I don’t know that so right now they #3
    Mikita
    Ryobi- they are not the best but they are there for people that can’t afford the names above and they have good quality tools that last forever

  131. Here is my list
    1. Cobalt XTR
    2. DeWalt
    3. Makita
    4. Metabo HPT
    5. Ridgid
    And I love your list thanks for the video Nick and all the editors

  132. I have tried all brands:
    Makita (Precision) ok with power. Innovation
    Milwaukee ( Power)Better Battery selection
    Rigid (Best power)
    Bosch (innovation) Best Hammer drill
    Ryubi (Home Use, Light commercial)
    Dewalt (Strong Power) Many Innovation.
    Skil ( Best circular saw )
    Kobalt (Ok)
    Craftman (ok) best hand tool.
    Hilti (Great) With bits & some tools.

    I pick milwaukee tools, Have tools from father 40 years still works in heavy use & it is even getting better now.
    I also use Makita, best innovation 18 volt.
    Rigid tools for my workers, heavy use.

  133. I think that makita should be up top personally because the light weight tools making it easier on the job

  134. Thought he was annoying…. but then I couldn’t help but laugh when he started talking about how Milwaukee’s battery powered grease gun can grease your nipples. “If you got to grease your nipples, Milwaukee will grease those nipples RIGHT!” Thumbs up. Solely for that line.

  135. 1 Kobalt power tools.
    Im sure there are better quality tools out there, But at the price and the warranty you can’t beat them. Odds are the power tool will break before 5 years and when it does you can just go down to lowes and get a brand new one. Heck I got my hands on an old sawzall for 30 bucks that was still working used it for a while, decided I wanted a new one, took it up there told them the part where you put the blade in was giving me trouble and they gave me a new one. Granted it took them a while to do it, but I walked in with a 3 year old sawzall and walked out with a new one.

  136. Of course the Dewalt is the best The only problem is that I don’t have the money to buy the whole set😂🤨

  137. Makita all the way at work they used to buy us dewalt impact drivers man those things sucked always failing we were always falling behind on work then we switched to makita man its night and day i love these drivers to death they never fail

  138. Um yer this guy don’t know shit, you left out the 5 top brands in the world lol, all you mention are second rate and know where near the best, do your research better next time

  139. I love ryobi and it is the only tool power tool brand I buy. I also almost only buy husky hand tools. The only tools that aren’t one of those 2 is hand me downs from my dad and grandpa

  140. Any list is subjective. I’ve used the main 3 brands and there all pretty decent. Milwaukee stands out for raw power and makita for control. Dewalt for a bit of both. In the end it’s down to what your using it for. I Personally do big jobs and we use all brands on site. No real problems with any of them. Peace.

  141. I used to hate Ryobi but it feels like they have done nothing but improve quality without raising the price.

  142. Why is this dude talking like a cross between a washed up strip club d.j and a late-night infomercial salesman. “And coming to the main stage is our own very hot M.A.K.I T.A(Said in slimy washed up d.j voice). I just stomped out my new airport hoping that noise would just sto,in hind site I should have just skipped to the next video..

  143. Most underrated line…. Milwaukee will grease those nipples right…. LMAO…. I was like WTF did he just say? Lol

  144. um Milwaukee has packout.he acts like that is not a thing and of course the DeWalt bits are his favorite

    he acts like

  145. The same company owns milwaukee and ryobi. Milwaukee is for the pros and ryobi is for the DIYers and home owners.

  146. Milwaukee is the best, hands down. It’s not even close. I’ve been a mechanic working on heavy equipment for the military for about 30 years and every time someone pulls out Makita or Dewalt my Milwaukee tools put them to shame. If you don’t have Milwaukee as number one than you’re not doing something right.

  147. I own many ryobi tools. For the price well worth it. Recommend using higher amp batteries on high stress uses.

  148. Youri américaine so i forgive your limited knowledge. But the rest of the word knows more than you Guys. Im not going to name brands that would-be be to easy, but look over your borders there a Many better brands

  149. What is the criteria for this list? I don’t care if a brand makes a power tool that can make me a cold brew frappe- I care about durability and performance.

  150. Gotta have powerful cordless tools. BRUSHLESS IS KING. Black & Yellow baby! Handtools gotta go to KNIPEX, best I’ve ever used my brotha. I got some input for DeWalt to get them in the Best in World Categories. I design tools and I’ve literally used them all so I know whats up. I speak 7 languages so I hear all types of construction crews and what they like. Majority are loyal to DeWalt like myself but then again, people that choose other brands really dont understand the difference. Or their fathers happen to use some other brand while they grew up.

  151. 1. Makit (good price and quality)
    2. Metabo (German made, top quality)
    3. Hilti (expensive but high quality)
    4. Bosch
    5. Milwaukee
    6. DeWalt
    7. Ryobi
    8. Festool (8th place because of unnecessary high prices)

  152. Yo.. what happened to Festol????.. oh I get it.. to much for your pocket.. Guess what I don’t don’t own one either..:):)

    1. No there are cheaper and more trash tools u can get from China that are the worst. Go to AliExpress and you’ll see

  153. De Walt, Ryobi, and Rigid because that is all I have. Defiantly would like to get the Makita coffee maker.

  154. Hi, greetings from Europe, my favorite Poland nygga list is…. 💪
    1.Dewalt/Milwaukee
    2.Makita
    3.Hilti
    4.Hikoki
    5.Metabo

    1. Same 😂 my dad has rigids and i like their drills better but the grinder and hacksaws are way better with dewalt. Not to mention the battery powered screwdriver. I love that thing.

  155. DeWalt is simply Black & Decker rebranded. The radial arm saw was invented by the Dewalt family, who later sold their interests to Black & Decker. Black & Decker took advantage of the branding, and although they still make good grinders, the products are not great.

  156. To me Dewalt is superior for its batteries, especially the multi-charger, but that will change once Milwaukee has its pure sine wave multicharger released.

  157. not only power tools, if i am buying something it must be Japanese ! not using anything else even if its free, even if they pay me to
    only Japanese !

    1. I hope you’re right. I just laid down $2,000 on my first cordless kit. After much deliberation I went with Metabo

  158. Down here in Brazil, MAKITA and BOSCH owns it all… Dewalt doesn’t have representatives in the south and I’ve literally never seen a Milwaukee tool in any store. Actually, some tools here in Brazil, mainly tools with circular saws, are simply known as “makita”.

  159. Ok, I’m a Rigid fan. Used their plumbing tools since the seventies. Have the first generation cordless drill/ hammer and circlur saw. Still works great will buy more.

  160. Professional Plumbers and Pipefitters….Ridgid is the ONLY brand…there is no second, these are the tools all professional pipe guys use…period. There is no replacement for a Ridgid 300, 535 or aluminum pipe wrench.

  161. When you talk about Bosch making so many things get your story straight. Bosch does not make car batteries. Car batteries are made by 3 manufacturers in the US and they are branded by whoever wants. A Bosch battery and an auto zone battery are made by same company. This is same with wiper blades and other auto parts.
    The ridgid and Milwaukee and ryobi power tools are also made by same company and made for different price points and durability on purpose.
    Dewalt and kobalt are made by Stanley black and decker.

    1. Wow, you’re really knowledgeable on the subject, you should help out and make a video on the topic!

  162. Wait so you posted a video about not buying from Home Depot for power tools but now it is ok?

    PS. For those that don’t know I am referring to the fact that if you want to buy Rigid you are going to Home Depot.

  163. Im writing a comment. YES! This is my comment. YES! This is one of the best comments on this comment list. YES! YES! YES GUYS!

  164. I don’t think one is best motor power wise Milwaukee. On every job is dewalt and you can’t go wrong but I love ridgid tool box’s best. I really hate how battery’s can’t be used on other tools. Probably the only reason to stick with a single brand is because you already have invested so much in certain batteries. I used Mikita at mtd products before Stanley black and decker bout them and I liked them tools. But I always grew up on dewalt. I mainly have used Milwaukee on a lot of job sights recently and I can’t get over the performance. They are the best for automotive tools I’d say impact wise for sure. And even there newer compact hammer drill is a tank.

  165. This may come across as a weird one but ingco tools works for me its affordable by far and does the job just as good as eny other tool

  166. Cordless Milwaukee
    Woodwork Makita
    Laser Bosch
    Concrete Hilti
    Grinders Metabo

    But the second best in all fields is Dewalt.

  167. Outdoor-Ryobi
    Automotive-Milwaukee
    Plumbing-Rigid
    D.I.Y-Craftsman
    Thats how i get my tools. I love that M12 impact wrench from Milwaukee, also love the 18v leaf blower from Ryobi. Been a craftsman gut since the beginning so I try to stay loyal and just get their drills or impacts for stuff around the house.

  168. Emmmm, you américaine never heared about Festool????
    I dont want do be a spoiler but……… check out Festool Goes above Bosch Blue (old style). And is the leading brand in Many parts of the world.

  169. We in Europa use
    1. Bosch
    2. Makita
    3. Hilti
    4. Metabo
    5. Festool
    6. Milwaukee
    DeWalt is not that big here

  170. Milwaukee have a good range BUT There rushing out tool’s very quick anx some tools have big faults like the gen three impact driver that has a faulty Chuck that keeps dropping the drill bits out 😵👍☘️

  171. In terms of quality, mafell wins hands down, festool and hilti are top level… makita/dewalt/milwaukee mid range.. but certainly not best in world

  172. DID HE DRINK 500 CUPS OF COFFEE, BEFORE HE STARTED RECORDING ,,,,,,!!!!!!!!! OR IS HE FROM WISCONSIN ,,,,,,,,,,!!!!!!! LOL

  173. Rigid now has the battery powered gen 5 brushless(octane)toothbrush with interchangeable Bristol heads plus a brand new tongue brush and led light incase your on a job sight and the sun isnt up.this toothbrush is changing the game in the tool world.

  174. Milwaukee dewalt and Mikita are pretty much top 3 hilti is concrete work Ridgid is best for plunging. Old school skil is good. New school bosh and skil are hit and miss and not the best

  175. As a plumbing apprentice and a person who works with plumbers in Nevada, so far I haven’t met anyone who uses Ridgid. Most people use Milwaukee in the plumbing game here. Sorry to bust your video bub.

  176. What about Metabo, maaaaaan??!!!!, Yes, they’re not innovative that much but they, at least, make a great line of tools.

    I’m a Hitachi guy, I was and still using many hitachi tools and they never stopped working.

  177. No way man. Ok first off..if you want a chainsaw most people are gonna buy a stihl, weedeaters probably a husqvarna, if you see a guy using a battery pack hes probably got a man-bun. Now granted makita is awesome, but Milwaukee all day is what dewalt use-to-be. That little magnet for your bits does not put them in #1, lol.

  178. Dewalt also makes chainsaws and weed whips.
    Milwaukee destroys dewalt at the box kit.

    I’d say
    1 dewalt,
    2, Milwaukee,
    3, snap on (although it’s expensive)
    4, makita
    5, Hitachi.

    Most of these are based on the limited tool use one had. And I’ve yet to have a bad experience with dewalt.

  179. Where is Hilti and festool ??
    I agree Dewalt is the best 🤩
    The black and yellow get it done every time every where 💯

  180. My Dewalt stuff is crap, i was hoping you had something to offer as im looking to dump it and buy a different brand.

  181. Hilti is the best built cordless tool period. Crazy expensive, but the best.

    Saying that, I don’t own any Hilti because I can’t afford them.

    I heard Makita stepped they’re game up but I’m bias against them. In 1993 I bought their 9.6 volt drill. It was underpowered and had no endurance. It wasn’t even a good screw gun. I literally bought a skill twist screw gun because frankly, it worked better.

    As far as dewalt, what turned me off to them was the plastic chuck on their drills. Not a fan. Sure they’re good, but not the best.

    I like my Milwaukee platform. I do wish they had the coffee maker. I’ll give Makita props on that product.

    You do look pretty young. You do have experience in the trades but personally I think your going off of a bias. My guess is dewalt was your first platform of tools.

    Not mentioning hilti is where you lost me on the list. Though expensive, they are the best.

    You probably shouldn’t be so quick to knock harbor freight. They are stepping their game up. No, I wouldn’t buy a power tool off of them yet. Let someone else be the guinea pig I say.

    Buy their Hercules bits are very good and some of they’re accessories are comparable to the big boys if you’re interested in saving money.

    Sorry for the length of the rant. I’ll finish with why didn’t you include Hilti on your list? I think it’s a fair question. You have a great day.

  182. The list is not “The 5 Best Quality Brands”. I have 25+ years experince so I do disagree of that list

    Milwaukee is quite okay. Many nice things and I do like the bluetooth system which helps to find stolen tools. But I will never ever buy Milwaykee because I get same quality or better tools. It is owned by Chinese.

    Ryobi is just piece of 5h1t. Owned the same company as Milwaukee, Chinese

    Bosch is good but best laser tools are made by Leica

    Makita… it is not quality tool at all. Not for professional use.

    DeWalt is okay but I do not buy. It is owned by Black&Decker. B&D bought DeWalt and ELU about the same time, about 15 years ago. They did finish ELU brand and some time there were ELU tools branded as DeWalt. Difference was just colour of tool and brand. ELU was better quality and the DeWalt quality has never reached that level

    Where are Festool, Mafel, Fein and Hilti? If you want the best tool for cutting pipes then you choose Exact PipeCut. One powertool for every size of pipes. Fast and exact cut.

    When we are talking about quality of tools, there is tools for home user up to professional user and that is the quality level these makers of videos do stop not understanding there is still one level up from those. It is Industrial quality. I bought a mitre saw made in Italy. I am sorry I do not remember the brand. Price was 4700 eur+VAT (about 5500 USD+taxes). I do not regret I bought it. Uses 380 V electricity, very quiet and can not compare to those brands mentioned here, so much over of all of those. But the maker is really just making videos to get views and advertising moneys

  183. Milwaukee hands down #1 with woodworkers, plummers, electricians and mechanics.
    Now I could end this here bcuz NOBODY can compare to that.
    #2 Makita slightly ahead of Dewalt. In fact to be fair the 36v miter saw has me gushing like a school girl 😄 every time i turn it on, and that puts them ahead of Dewalt for me. I’m a wee bit confused about the kobalt line. “LXT” new probably means the original version was a bit craptacular. 😄😁😉 Ryobi should’ve got the #5 spot and bump rigid up a spot.
    But I love your videos…even though you’re a dewalt fan. And I purposely spelled it with lower case “d”. I agree NOT. But you’re awesomely entertaining. 👍🏾

  184. Milwaukee 1.
    Makita 2.
    Dewalt. 3.
    Bash 4.
    Ryobi 5.

    That is exactly how it should’ve went I don’t know what he was smoking but it must’ve messed up his brain

  185. I have not been let down by any if my Ryobi tools on the jobsites or at home. Several times I’ve outlasted the Milwaukee boys and I have to fight the urge to razz them about it.

  186. my first power tool i hated. upgraded to ryobi, hate it. am going to bosch. makita was 1st option but the price no no no no

  187. Rigid, Milwaukee, and Ryobi are made by the same parent company. I’ve never tried Ryobi myself I usually stick with Dewalt, Rigid, and Milwaukee.

  188. He is wrong. Hilti is the best. Milwaukee right behind them. Then Mikita…the other house brand tools like Rigid and DeWalt are consumer level tools…and Riobi and Bosch are known to be cheap throwaways only guys with no money get.

  189. My Ryobi impact does 90% of what I need it to do in the shop, and has been very reliable for the shop. When it doesnt cut it, I just fire up the air compressor and finish the job.

  190. Ryobi with all the battery shit they got i love 1 plus set up end less of new skills coming out plus I love the six battery charger and new big battery skill saw

  191. Ryobi is in everything cars landscape and outside building and in that’s y they got over 200plus skins and I’m a makita man too but love the muilt skins of ryobi

  192. Super professional (High quality)
    1. HILTI
    2. FESTOOL
    3. WURTH
    4. METABO/HITACHI

    Professional

    5. MILWAUKEE
    6. BOSH
    7. MAKITA
    8. DEWALT
    9. RIDGID/AEG

    Semi-professional
    10. RYOBI
    11. WORX
    12. PORTER CABLE
    13. STANLEY FATMAX

    1. Makita is good…but they are third behind Hilti and Milwaukee, the other brands, esp DeWalt are consumer tools, not for the pro.

  193. 1. Ridgid – Competes with contractor level tools (actually it beats many of them in power and performance) for half the price and with the LSA.
    2. Milwaukee – Most powerful cordless tools with a compact build
    3. Bosch – the make great jobsite radios

    Is there even any others?

  194. Ryobi is underrated as hell dude…new stuff is quality for the price withstands work place environment

    1. Ryobi is definitely the beat value for the money hands down. Just be careful to get their top stuff I.e. brushless.

  195. Milwaukee and Ryobi are both owned by the same Hong Kong based company. Ryobi is actually an OEM manufacturer for Milwaukee. Kobalt power tools are possibly made by Devon Tools, subsidary of Chevron China Trading.

  196. Maybe Hilti is the best but very expensive and I agree Dewalt is my number one also, personally I like heavy tools i dont mind the weight, actually when comes to drill i feel more torque, reason why I like Ridgid the others are to light for me, it depends on what you do.

  197. Awesome list man I absolutely love my Dewalt power tools! now the coffee maker from Makita is also awesome I mean who would ever thought of that!

  198. Just picked up the corded dewalt planer. I got tool only and have one really big problem/complaint. The dust/chip chute is a special D-shape that has a proprietary adapter if you want to use dust collection. Well they don’t sell it on their website you have to call and order it special. Seems like it should just be included from the get go. That have a “kit” that has a hard case and the adapter, but of course that wasn’t at the store. Tool works great, but that seems like a shady move to not add something so simple as an adapter better yet it should just come with their regular dust nozzle like their 5″ orbital sander.

    They also need to get more stuff coming out of their American factories, but at least they are manufacturing in the states again and they seem to be making the more common tools here so great step in the right direction.

  199. This is a useless video, those 5 tools are going to be on everyone’s list. The order different for different tastes and uses, not quality. A video for the sake of the video.

  200. You might as well say TECHTRONICS is the biggest MANUFACTURER, since they own RYOBI, Milwaukee, and RIDGID/AEG

    But RYOBI is NOT considered as a contractor or pro grade brand of power tool. It’s for weekend warriors, DIYers

    I don’t agree with your list

  201. A lot of people who hate Ridgid don’t realise the power tools aren’t made by Emerson, like their hand tools. The power tools are made by TTi, the same company that makes Milwaukee, and AEG.

    They just want to shit on Ridgid for the sake of shitting on Ridgid.

  202. I was finding some power tool set review and found you by luck. funny guy and great feedback. I am in the market for a power tool set for a very light DIY guy. I missed the Ryobi 6-tool set deal for $199.99 and I see they now have the Milwakukee 4-tool set for $299.99. HELP, donation are accepted through VENMO =)
    PS: did anyone ever tell you, you look a little like 50-cent. No offense.

  203. This guy is annoying, he knows very little about trade and real work.
    I an unsubscribing to this channel.

    Unbearable

    J.

  204. I got all my Ryobi brushless tool for $44 brand new 3 year warranty. Hard to beat. Haven’t let me down yet. But if money was no issue I’d probably go Milwaukee

  205. makita line up outshines all other brands tool for tool, when it comes to rugged tools that get the job done without gimmicky BS that just adds $$$$ for crap you don’t need. Milwaukee makes way better bits and hand tools compared to makita and dewalt. Wouldn’t pay money for anything else unless I planed on giving it away or throwing it in the bin at the end of the job.

  206. I saw RYOBI in the thumbnail and they landed honorable mention #2. Damn, i got baited. I do like their solder stations, rotary tool, and hot glue gun

    1. No bro VCG MAKES SOME AWESOME VIDS ON ALL TOOLS CHECK OUT THE CHANNEL THEY HAVE RYOBI BRO CHECK OUT THE P238 RYOBI IMPACT TTR DONT FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE THEY HAVE AWESONE CONTENT AND GO LIVE SHOWING DEALS ON TOOLS ALL THE TIME LOVE ME SOME VCG Construction its like a family here

  207. I see what you did here with your hat and the shelf space…. clever. I read your opinion before ya started lol.

  208. DeWalt is definitely one of the most versatile brand. They even make a smoke machine with their new impact driver.

    1. I’ve worked with dewalt for a LONG time and I have no idea how people are cooking the motor in their XR drivers, I have abused mine hard and broken impact gear and never had a problem

  209. Bought a DeWalt hammer drill and impact years ago, batteries went out less than 2 months later…will have trouble buying DeWalt ever again.

    1. Save thing with Milwaukee battery for me. The battery itself didn’t last long especially at full power when used in the heated jacket.

  210. This is all very well, but take it from one who knows, A high brand tool on any large work site walks. It will get pinched! That is why so many tradies buy el cheepo, and throw it away when it gives up.

  211. I have been working with DeWalt only and never ever let us down, I agree with DeWalt being number 1 and agree being number 1 in this planet

  212. Never heard of ridgid or kobalt till I watched this channel probably because they are not around in the UK because I have NEVER heard of them
    also after watching a couple of the videos from this channel seems like they are EXTREMELY biased towards DeWalt and only have other brands products for testing purposes and not for personal use. Seems like Americans are truly hooked to the DeWalt brand

  213. I like Milwaukee the best but I have had Dewalt and first so I stuck with them . Years ago I bought the 18volt cordless 4 pc tool kits in like 98 and them went to the lithium ion tools .I love my 3/8 &1/4 impacts . As a mechanic it use it for everything and my 1/2 Is great too.My Dewalt tools are good for me and I will stick with them. But for homeowner ,get yourself a Ryobi kit you will be really happy with it.

  214. I run ridgid for commercial Construction. I have less problems with these than my boss has with his makita, and I’m way happier with them than I was with my dewalt 18v set I used to have.

    1. They dont, but hell I don’t really care lmao. Their batteries last way longer than any of the other brands out there and are way more reasonably priced as opposed to Milwaukee and Ridgid.

  215. Milwaukee would be number 1(in my opinion) if they didn’t have so many exclusive batteries for different versions of tools. Youre definitely right about the pack out, though. I think they do have the best portable tool storage.

  216. I’m baked into the Makita ecosystem… never had a problem. Their outdoor equipment is #1. So light and powerful.

  217. 1. Hilti
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Makita
    All the others don’t matter anymore. Dewalt is absolute dog shit 🙂

  218. I used them all I buy best of each one in the category like I have the dewalt saw , Milwaukee impact and nail gun and so

  219. DeWalt
    Milwaukee
    Hilti
    Makita
    Ridgid!
    Don’t buy DeWalt because every carpenter has DeWalt so no thanks I don’t want anyone stealing my tools because they will have batteries for it, I stick to Milwaukee!

  220. It really depends on the job wich powertool maker hits it right. Anyways here are my top 5 picks. 1. Makita 2. Hilti 3. De walt 4. Bosh 5. Milwaukee

  221. Milwaukee for me. The power is bar non and the longevity is crazy. Rain,dust,wood,mud nothing can rust nor break a Milwaukee.

  222. 1. Milwaukee
    2. Makita
    3. Ridgid
    4. Hilti
    5. Dewalt
    6. Kobalt
    7. Bosch
    8. Ryobi
    honorable mention, Snapon, and Mac
    please comment if i forgot got a tool brand so i can add it

    1. For Mr Joe fix his own house with youtube videos, yes ryobi is good, but the only problem is when someone comes over your house you have to hide your tools so no one knows you have them

  223. Milwaukee, Rigid (=AEG) and Ryobi are all owned by one and same company. The whole idea is that Milwaukee is the best, AEG (Rigid) middle of the road and Ryobi for amateurs like me. But where are Metabo, Hilti, Fein, Festo and Mafell?

  224. I see effectively 4 tiers of tool brands all of which or more or less equal to those of the same tier (possibly better in some areas and worse in others but about the same overall)

    tier 1 (just in alphabetical order):
    Bosch
    Dewalt
    Makita
    Milwaukee

    tier 2:
    Hilti
    Metabo
    Metabo HPT/Hitachi
    Ridgid
    Ryobi

    tier 3:
    Black and Decker
    Craftsman
    Festool
    Hercules
    Kobalt
    Skil

    tier 4:
    Walmart crap

    There are probably many brands im missing but most of them are probably tier 3 or 4

  225. My entire wood working shop consists of “The Hulk” tools. Ryobi… Ryobi is reliable without the bank breaking price tag of the others. And a lifetime warranty for a fraction of the price of the other brands and they honor the warranty no questions asked. Just my personal opinion.

  226. STOP WAVING YOUR ARMS SO FICKING MUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCH

    1. Same. I love dewalt. May not always be the number 1 but I’ve never had one fail and I always know that it’s gonna do exactly what I bought it for

  227. Milwaukee are the best quality, gears are the strongest and the batteries are as good as anyone’s. I also like Makita but find the range of hand tools, cases and Bits from Milwaukee so much better than anyone else’s, 3 year standard warranty too, can’t go wrong! Plus they look the shit too, black and red??? Come on son!

  228. I’m a kobalt guy have been since before they went brushless, I now own the 24vmax and I’ve been eyeing the Xtr, I have a set of Milwaukee fuel 18v as well and I always reach for the blue brand 1st

  229. All right send me a half inch Ryobi high torque impact while we are rebuilding our combine harvesters vs our Milwaukee!!

  230. Between the bottle openers on Milwaukee and the battery powered coffee maker from Makita, homeboy needs to maybe cut back and switch to decaf…

  231. I roll with Milwaukee all day for Power Tools. Im a Union Electrician and mostly work on Industrial and Major Commercial Job sites.

  232. This is personal selection
    1. Milwaukee: I use this in my job everyday and I never had thought maybe I should try another tool line
    2. Ryobi: i use for home and I also love the outdoor battery power tools
    3. Makati: power wheel barrow and coffee maker I mean come on
    4. Hart: I guess I just have a thing for tti
    5. Dewault : some very strong tools and there old 18v some of the most reliable

  233. I have Snap On drills and they are amazing, I didn’t have a honeymoon but I have two drills. I need to replace my old Ryobi saws tho and think I’ll go with Makita or DEWALT. Unless anyone thinks that’s a mistake?

  234. Ended up going Dewalt for my cordless tools since that’s what I was first gifted, it’s a good enough brand overall, and I see no reason to incompatible batteries laying around.
    Also, I really appreciate Dewalts line of Jobsite Saws. My home workshop doesn’t really have space for a full sized tablesaw, not with everything else I want to fit onto a single garage wall, so I built a saw cart around a DW745, their beefiest rolling job sit saw. A lot of youtubers have posted videos over the years on how to get the most out of these little saws. And while they’ll never be a match for a full size shop saw, they’re respectable for their size and price point.

    And honestly, Ryobi deserves that honorable mention. I wouldn’t use them as work tools (well, we actually have some Ryobi drills we bought to use as beefy electric screwdrivers at work) but for the occassional DIYer and home handyman, who isn’t going to be punishing these tools every day, I can respect the price point.

  235. I’m new to tools. I will start with either makita or bosch, both seem great… waiting for a sale to pull the trigger.

  236. Top 5 for me: 1. Metabo, 2. Makita, 3. Bosch, 4. DeWalt, 5. Einhell (Yea yea i know, but i have some of their stuff and it work fine).

    1. @ohalistair pelo que vi você esta falando mais de ferrramenra hobby.
      Nao se compara com as gigantes de uso industrial,

    2. We have Einhell in Australia (but rebranded as Ozito) and they’re honestly not bad for budget tools.

      My dad has quite a few power tools, and garden tools of theirs, and while I use DeWalt for my power tools, I use Ozito for garden tools, such as my mower, and line trimmer. No complaints whatsoever.

  237. I am sorry but Bosch is the best for longevity. I know people who are on there 3rd set of tools and my dad and I have never replaced any tool except our 12v mini drills!! Thats 2 different sets of tools his and mine. Our 12v minis they get worked most and 4 years later. Every day use for 5 years now on his and my sets. Can’t beat them, far superior only down side is they don’t make as many different tools as the others.

  238. Ryobi is above Milwaukee? I don’t think so. In order to do this list , you have to consider , reliable , price and power of their tool lines .

  239. my room mate is a plumber and all he runs is rigid, they’re pretty neat. im a electrician i run Milwaukee for precision work, such as under cabinet lights and roughing/finish residential electrical and i have a dewalt xr line for more back work like installing panels and running conduit. i respect all tool brands.

  240. my Milwaukee tools always beat the dewalt tools. Milwaukee drills sounds like a turbo but the dewalt stuff sounds almost like a brushed tool

  241. Lol what’s going on with this man’s arms? And how are Milwaukee tools considered a good brand? Festool for the pros

    1. milwaukee make the number one most powerful impact driver, the most durable tools, and the most trade specific tools, especially for plumbers, plus their leading the way in cordless innovation

  242. Thanx for the vid. Im starting out with woodworking and Is in the process to decide what essential tools to buy. Was looking at Dewalt (the girl in me loved it purely for how it look at first.). Now, I can go ahead with confidence, knowing that my choice is not just based on the aesthetic.
    Why isn’t Festool on this list?

    1. Festool is intended for shop use. Jobsite is not festool friendly. Festool is meant for workshop use. Can’t say I have ever taken such an expensive item on a jobsite, but I don’t think it can take a beating and I woulsn’t risk that considering the price

    2. Festool is a specialty brand still imo but they are branching out. Their price really seperates them from any other tool brand on this list.

  243. Brave list.. I thought Metabo HPT (formerly Hitachi) may have rated an honourable mention. But when I saw Ryobi I figured it was over.

    1. Its nt about quality of certain product, its about brand.
      Metabo German still the best in quality, but the range of product is limited.

  244. I think all these tools are made in the same factory in China. Just look at the Ridgid and Kobalt, they are the same but the color.

  245. If we’re talking cordless, Makita all the way. They have a top quality cordless tool for every niche. They also have excellent battery compatibility throughout the line and they are extremely durable and easy to repair in the rare instances where it’s required. Battery powered tools are basically about the entire ecosystem and Makita has the most complete. It’s hard to fault anyone for going Milwaukee either though. Those two stand above the rest in my mind.

  246. I am a weekend warrior and its makita for me at #1 mainly for the expansive platform, quality,warranty, and in my opinion the longest lasting batteries out there.

  247. I had a Bosch laser “tape” measure that quit functioning within a year. I used it maybe 5 times. Disappointed to say the least.

    Also, Dewalt #2p beats the ever loving sh*t out of Milwaukee’s offering.

  248. 1) festool
    2) Milwaukee
    3) dewalt
    4)mikita
    5) ridgid

    This video is totally getting a dislike for not even mentioning festool they have by far the best finish carpentry tools on the market.

  249. I have a Ryobi garage door opener and it kicks ass! You can add all sorts of attachments to it, I have 2 fans, a 30 foot retractable cord reel with 3 plug in receptacles on the end, a laser parking assist system and you can get other things such as an inflator pump, a Bluetooth speaker, a surveillance camera and it has a battery backup that runs on an 18-Volt One-Plus battery so if the power goes out you can still use the garage door. You can also control everything thru an app on your phone, it’s amazing, best garage door opener ever!

  250. This dude is funny!! 😂😂😂 makes me want to buy a tool from every brand! Even the Honorable Mentioned ones!!! Lol

  251. For me there is only two. Makita and Milwaukee. But for the sake of the list then :
    1.Makita
    2. Milwaukee
    3.Dewalt
    4.Bosch
    5.Hitachi/Hikoki
    No Hilti because of the pricepoint and availability here where i live, Metabo is just a big meh and dont know nothing about Festool and Ridgid. Im okay with Ryobi being a good value “just in case” toolbrand.

  252. My list as a plumber 1. Milwaukee (cordless augers, drain cameras, and m18 fuel sawzalls that are unmatched!) 2. Makita 3. Ridgid 4. Dewalt. 5. And surprisingly enough. Craftsman. Due to the price of there impact drill/drivers along with the 20v battery price for the quick and easy jobs that you don’t want to put wear and tear on your nice tools on 👍

  253. 1. Makita / Bosch
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Dewalt

    Not sure why so much love for Dewalt. Just got the Dewalt DCD996B 20V Hammer drill. I’m sorry, just too unrefined for my taste. Too ROUGH!
    In car term, this is also known as NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness.) Dewalt may be packed with power, but I just can deal with an unrefined product.
    Exchanged Dewalt DCD996B for the Makita XPH07. It’s like a day and night difference. The Makita is super smooth and quiet for similar amount of power. The smooth reving motor is music to my ears.
    For real big boy hammer drill, BOSCH is the king!

    Specialty: Festool (for fine & precise carpentry, #1)

    Gotta love German and Japanese engineering.

  254. For what it’s worth, Ridgid has two different lines. The orange stuff is rebranded AEG tools from overseas, and the RED Ridgid stuff is the high-end plumbing stuff he’s talking about.

  255. How come nobody mentioned porter cable? I use milwaukee and I love them. Honestly it’s all in what you like I do have a flavor of Makita and dewalts and I’ve used Bosch and rigid tools. Even a Clark lol

  256. 1-Hilti. 2-Makita. 3-Milwaukee. 4-Bosch. 5-Dewalt. 6-ridgid. 7-ryobi. There are more like Metabo HPT that belongs to level 3 cat but for now this is it.

  257. As a metal framer working on government jobs my list is
    1.Hilti
    2.milwaukee
    3.Makita
    4.Dewalt
    5.Bosh
    6.Ridgid
    7.Ryobi

  258. Says something about Milwaukee when a sales rep for them (my bro) who gets crazy deals won’t own any of there tools himself or allow them on my job sites 😂

  259. Started Milwaukee, someone bought me a Dewalt XR impact and I’ll never go back.

    1) Dewalt
    2) Milwaukee
    3) Makita
    4) Ridgid
    5) Bosch

  260. Milwaukee is all over the job sites that I’ve been in, starting to interested in buying some of their tools now.

  261. My Milwaukee 1/2″ and 3/4″ high torque impact made Milwaukee #1 on my list. I guess it depends on the work application, I’m a Diesel Mechanic.

  262. Meth is a hell of a drug Mr. Ricky Bobby🤦‍♂️, I stopped this video as soon as he said Ryobi at number 2, then I knew not to care about his number 1. Dude put Ryobi in front of Milwaukee🤣 i should unsub just for that dumb shit, cmon give daddy back his channel.

  263. YOU’RE ALL BEING HOODWINKED. Have a look to see how many are made in China – ALL OF THEM. De Walt, Milwauke, Ryobi, Makita, Metabo, Hitachi. The only exception I could find was a Bosch hammer drill made in Hungary. Buy made in PRC and you are bankrolling the Chinese Communist Party. It’s that simple. Check the maker’s plate and if it’s made in the PRC throw the fricking thing back – you ARE BUYING TROUBLE. Not with the tool, but for the future of humanity. Tell your favourite toolmaker that made in PRC sucks.

  264. Ryobi is the stuff but there battery not really that’s how they get you other then that can’t really say much about list totally agree it all depends on what type of job you need to get done but yes totally agree but I’m a milwaukee fan cause I do mold remediation flood tech

  265. Makita FTW! I own 22 Makita tools, 12 Milwaukee, 4 Dewalts and 2 hilti drills. Makita is far more reliable and powerful than any of the other brands, aside from hilti

  266. Lmfao reading these comments. Hands down Milwaukee number one!! They have hands down the biggest and baddest line of tool and hold the rights to the 18V battery platform so every other company pays THEM!! Ha but nice try though. Milwaukee brushless fuel line is the most powerful line on the market hands down. Numbers don’t lie. Show me another manufacturer that makes a 1” cordless impact with almost 1800 ft lbs of break away torque and almost 1500 ft lbs of working torque and as far as merch? Really a dewalt hat? Lmfao how about a heated Milwaukee jacket? Lmao hey cool list though and as far as storage and bits it’s Milwaukee pack out and Milwaukee shockwave. TEAM RED ALL THE WAY!!

  267. This dude waving his arms made me disrespect his opinion and ruined the video tbh. Urks the nerves like a toddler giving sass

  268. Milwaukee, is by far, the best tools with the best warranty on the market. Regardless of what makita makes, there’s no comparison to a Milwaukee fuel. Dewalt is for the homeowner, not the professional worker.

    1. Glenn Vandeuren I own over $15000 in Milwaukee tools. I’m from the Adirondacks, used every tool on the planet, and will buy nothing but Milwaukee…

    2. Just sold all Milwaukee tools and replaced them with Hilti, would never switch back.
      Milwaukee breaks pretty quick, battery’s die quickly, loses most of it’s power after 2 years, delivers refurbished materials as new, etc…

  269. I can’t get on the battery hype train. A few items make sense, but shit like chop saws is silly unless you only work at job sites without power. Then you’ll need a dozen full charge batteries to last the day. Most of the time corded is a smarter option. This list focuses on batteries too much imho.

  270. Dewalt is ass milwaukee is way better and dewalt tips are even worse, I’ve had a Milwaukee #2 Philips tip for 6 months of use daily, the dewalt lasted me not even a day

  271. All my cordless tools are RYOBI let alone the drill bits. I think they have some of the BEST “BANG 4 YOUR BUCK” tools on the market. Though the batteries are a little pricey I find that my “normal” use (usually use them at least 4 to 7 time a week) I get over FOUR YEARS before I have to replace them. Once a week I have to mow and trim the lawn and for that I use the RYOBI cordless trimmer to get the job done. While these days that trimmer looks NOTHING like it did when I bought it, it STILL is trucking along trimming away each week like it did 5 years ago. And get this, 3 of those batteries are STILL THE ORIGINAL ones I bought when I bought the trimmer!!! THAT MY FRIENDS, IT WHAT I CONSIDER QUALITY AND TOUGHNESS… PERIOD!!!

  272. Makita’s coffee maker? Seriously? Dude, what’s wrong with you? It’s top list of tools or toys?
    Top list from Russia:
    1. Hilti/Milwaukee
    2. Bosch
    3. Metabo
    4. Makita
    5. DeWalt.
    DeWalt is latest, because it’s too rare and too expensive in my country.

    1. @Tyler Collins Sorry, I don’t understand you. Can you use other words for your question? My English not so good

  273. My number one is Makita because of the quantity, quality and smoothness of the tools, also in their outdoor line has the option to go from cordless to gas powered, also their compressors are some of the best I’ve used. Following is Milwaukee, Dewalt, Bosch and Ryobi

  274. Dude put Ryobi in this list. I used them for a year, and have 3 drills, 2 impacts, and a concert drill burn out, and yes I know how to use tools properly. I’ve had the best experience with Milwaukee tools, and I can vouch for Mikita.

  275. I love my Milwaukee tools but you are seriously sleeping on the m12 line especially for the automotive industry their electric ratchet it’s a life (and arm) saver

  276. As a carpenter I work with several other guys who chose Dewalt and are always trying to figure out who owns what. I chose Metabo hpt because I wanted to get their framing nailer. I ended up getting the whole line of cordless stuff including some of the 36v stuff and have abused it! Now all the Dewalt guys are swearing by the Metabo stuff! They really have a lot of game changing tools.

  277. 1. Bosch
    2. Hilti
    3. Milwaukee
    4. Makita
    5. Dewalt
    6. Hitachi
    7. Metabo / Skil
    8. Ridgid / Porter Cable
    9. Craftsman
    10. Ryobi

  278. In all, cordless sliding mitre saw, only Milwaukee use 1 battery while others brands use 2 batteries???

  279. every description you said for the first place fits for Festool , festool the beest …for woodworking :))

  280. Makita and hilti makes tools that you need the rest makes tools for America’s consumerism bottle opener 2.0 telescopic, water proof dustproof wheels that never fall off… add a few buzzwords and watch people become amazed

  281. i work for a window manufacturer, and we switched from air tool solely to first gen Dewalt cordless which left something to be desired, then solely Milwaukee M18 tools. they are used 8+ hours a day 200+ tools in the factory all sharing same type of battery and rarely any issue at all. absolutly great and more importantly a “go to war” brand in my opinion

    1. only downside to milwaukee is every job site i go too,I have to be careful where i set my milwaukee as all the trades on site are using the same tools 😛

  282. Milwaukee M18 & M12 FUEL
    Ridgid
    Dewalt
    Makita
    Ryobi
    Bosch would probably be on my list except for 2 reasons, back when my dad had a Ni-Cad Bosch 18-Volt handheld hammer drill he melted and went thru 3 of them drilling in concrete making just a few holes before they melted which is pretty pathetic since they are supposed to be know for their hammer drills! After that I brought my handheld DeWalt 18-Volt Ni-Cad hammer drill over and we drilled over 100 1/2″ holes into concrete no problem, since then they have improved their quality with their new Lithium-Ion tools but they have a serious lack of tool variety, they don’t have near as many different types of tools as any other mainstream brand.

  283. 1. Milwaukee
    2. Makita
    3. dewalt
    4. Ryobi
    5. Craftsman

    I use dewalt on my job everyday (company tools) and I can say one thing. We have had terrible experiences with their batteries. I used to be a dewalt guy, that’s all we had growing up. But I was introduced to Makita and I liked their tools, but as time has gone on for home use I love Milwaukee impacts, drills, impact drivers, they are my favorite go to brand for all of the crap I sign myself up for. They outlast all the others I have used, they out do all the others I have used. That’s why it’s number one on my list. Makita made the second position because of the vast selection of tools. They have some gnarly stuff! Dewalt however, I have actually came to not really like at all. But they’re number 3 because they also have a pretty nice selection at a affordable price. Ryobi is 4 for one reason, I like one of their saws. And finally craftsman, only because it’s craftsman. And I like their hand tools.

  284. 1. Chicago Electric
    2. Drill Master
    3. DeWalt
    4. Hercules
    5. Milwaukee
    6. Bauer
    7. Warrior
    8. Makita
    9. Cobalt
    10. Warrior

  285. All 5 of the tool brands you listed are absolutely amazing tool brands. But to not put Milwaukee at the top is a little crazy to me. Every brand has its niche but the most important thing to any man that actually USES his tool is trust. Trust that his tool works every time time he runs it. Trust that his tool will do the job He paid a premium for it to do. Trust that no matter how hard he runs that drill, impact, circ saw, or grinder, it’s gonna run just like the day he bought it. And there’s no other brand that we blue collar boys trust more than Milwaukee.

  286. I would personally put Milwaukee at #2, but I wholeheartedly agree with your #1. I’ve been using various different brands of cordless power tools throughout the years which all belonged to friends. At work I’ve used Milwaukee tools from cutting 3/8 steel aircraft cable to drilling big Jesus lag bolts into big Jesus pine posts, and they never quit. But, personally I’ve always found the DeWalt tools to even out perform Milwaukee. After many years of using many different friends many different brands, and a couple solid days of research, I went out to buy my first cordless power tools of my life. They were DeWalt, and they will likely be DeWalt to the end of my time on this earth.

    1. P.s. that day was today. This very morning I bought my first ever cordless power tools which were DeWalt.

  287. Milwaukee for drill, Makita for mitre saw, and dewalt for grinder. I use all 3. I only have a top 3. Great video !!

  288. My first kit of tools was DeWalt, i remember wanting a kit since I was a kid and instead of jumping the gun I waited and I finally saved up enough and bought a full on kit. After they got stolen eventually I ended up I’m the Milwaukee line of tools and I’ve never had or used better power tools!

  289. I like to rank my power tools on a ladder, at the top you have Hilti Snap-On Metabo next you have Makita DeWalt Milwaukee Then you have Rigid Ryobi Metabo-HPT/Hitachi Porter-Cable Bosh, Then you have Black and Decker Hart Bauer(harbor freight) and anything you can use that you might get like a year or two out of, and below that is just single use stuff like chicago electric, hyper tough, and other crappy brands.

  290. I have full sets of ridgid, dewalt and ryobi cordless tools among other of the same brand tools and do construction for a living and in my experience honestly the ryobi cordless tools have not only out lived all the other cordless tools but they’re still working and have never over heated and had to shut off for 5 mins before being able to use them again especially the Ridged and they are literally less than half the price. 2nd of what iv used/ have is dewalt. They have so much power.. but it comes with the price too.

  291. Sorry mate you got it all wrong ok DeWalt is not even on the list Makita used to be the best but Milwaukee who’s better good Makita

  292. Lol. Milwaukee would be 3rd on my list too but only because they’re wayyyyyy wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to expensive.

  293. When I was a kid in the 1980s, in the days before offshoring to China was fashionable, my dad explained that the best power tools are from Milwaukee and Makita.

  294. Makita is #1
    They last and last. It’s like they are made from a solid ingot of steel.
    Dewalt is great for a nice smoke show.

  295. For sawing and sanding there is Festool and than a huge gap before the next contender,
    Same for hammer drilling and the Hilti brand, while most of Hiltis stuff besides that is only mediocre at best.
    Then there is of course DeWalt Milwaukee Bosch and Makita, who all never take the pole position in any job, but all offer a good to very good quality throughout their lineup and mostly fair prices.

  296. I would lower Bosch due to increasingly lower quality lately and not super good cost efficiency. I would like to se HiKOKI (formerly Hitachi) in the list, maybe not number 1, but higher than just honorable mention because good quality and very cost efficient.

  297. I’m team yellow too. I like the ergonomics and extra features such as variable speed trigger (oscillating tools and die grinder). Milwaukee seems like great tools but they seem a little overpriced. Maybe it’s because of the 5-year warranty. I don’t have much experience with Dewalt customer service though. Dewalt tools just seem to be a little better priced than Milwaukee.

  298. Nick dumb as hell Fr! 🤣🤣 Milwaukee is better than dewalt not by a lot by still better much respect to dewalt SMFH

  299. I run Milwaukee and Ridgid power tools . I have aa pipe wrench that was my grandfathers then my dad’s and now me . Works like new tillthis day.

  300. 1.Milwaukee 2.Dewalt 3.Makita 4.Ridgid and YES 5.RYOBI for the value and the most selections in its class with forever one battery for all.

  301. My favorite one is Makita because it was my first power tool aswell so I just kept on going because I already had a battery for it

  302. Honestly Ryobi seems to be the best option for me. I don’t need top of the line tools to do simple jobs around the house. There is no doubt that there are many better tools out there than Ryobi but the price and performance is exactly what I need. Still love Milwaukee the best though.

  303. Anyone that does not think Milwaukee is 1st has never actually used one… my impact is SOOO powerful, it completely broke and stripped out a few dewalt bits and some other random ones… and no It did not cam out… you are crazy, go back to using your Ryobi tools and come back in a year when it breaks after drilling a 3/4 inch hole with a damn spade bit… a damn spade bit and it is destroyed… 100$ down the drain… your better off using Bauer or some cheapass black and decker with a plastic Chuck… damn I hate ryobi

  304. Ryobi have a good range of tools for a DIYer but for the tradesman, here in Ireland anyway there as good as useless.

  305. We’re all makita power tools they work sooooo good but I will say that desalt is my second favorites day then definitely Milwaukee my opinion 👍

  306. For power and cordless tools, I will stick to DeWalt , Milwaukee, and Makita…. have a lot of hand tools by a LOT of companies…. as far as Bosch, I wont be buying their tools at all… no meed for that price, and dont need a tool with that kind of complexity or ….they aren’t built for the price, like the tiny film of copper connecting the cells of their batteries, and what the heck is up with a bluetooth in a cordless drill….? No thanks….

  307. 1. Mac tools
    2. Hypertough
    3. Harbor Freight
    4. Black & Decker
    5. Dewalt
    6. Hercules
    7. Ryobi
    8. Makita
    9. Milwaukee
    10. Bosch
    11. Rigid

    Before you guys cuss me out.🤬

    Yes. I am a troll 💩.

  308. I got rid my Dewalt 18 volt tools. It took 3 full batteries to rip a 16 foot 2×6, with a circular saw, it’s wasting my time. The batteries are short lived and expensive. I’ve lost production because the batteries don’t last. Now I have a Milwaukee saw that can rip (thirty) 2×6’s (sixteen foot long) on one battery. I’m going to stay with one battery platform to keep things simple and cost efficient. Corded stuff is a different story. Sorry Dewalt.

  309. My first tools was dewalt an when they stop working I started buying makita an then nothing cuz I still have all my makita tool working like new

  310. #5 ryobi #4 Mikita #3 ridged but they have the best wet/ dry vacs #2 Dewalt it was my first drill #1 Milwaukee

  312. Milwaukee????? I have so many of them, and I am not a construction guy, but my friends are, they own tons of milwaukee stuff,
    but there is a glitch, it seems they have break down issue, all tools brand have break down problem, however, in comparition to dewalt and makitas, milwaukee is shy on reliability, not at power output,
    in fact, milwaukee power out put is higher than dewalt and makitas tool, but break down more often on despite of longer warranty coverage. I have taken them to their service site for many times in the past 3 years,

  313. Holy**** the energy was ON in this episode. Hardly any dewalt in Germany but i Love my 12v Bosch and 18v makitas. Especially the tracksaw. Dewalt drivers are so loud, it hurts. Returned mine only to get told they all sound that way. Weirded me Out of my first purchase of a dewalt

  314. I love my ryobi tool lineup. I know it’s not the best brand, but you can’t go wrong for the cost of them. Plus I love how the a 18v caulking gun and a rc car which I don’t have the car. I just thought It was cool that they have one and can’t forget about the cooler that can act as an air conditioner.

  315. 1. Milwaukee
    2. DeWalt
    3. Rigid
    Who cares about the rest (maybe cause I’m a plumber) Coffee makers? I make my coffee at home. I’m here to work.

  316. 1. Dewalt
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Bosch
    4. Ryobi
    5. Makita
    Dewalt being no 1 is spot on especially in woodworking. Their line of accessories are essentials and not just additional

  317. 1. Hilti
    2.Makita
    3. Dewalt
    4. Metabo
    5. Milwaukee * only reason they are at last place is because they are by far the most expensive in my country at least

  318. A company I worked for manufactured epoxy floor coatings and we mixed buckets with a rotary hammer. We bought a Dewalt and it smoked in no time. Took it back for a Bosch and no smoke, no stress, it worked for years. I was instantly scared away for Dewalt forever.

  320. Ridgid power tools are also lifetime guarantee. Even the batteries. They back it up, I’ve used the warranty once or twice. Great tools all around. No better plumbing tools. I’ll only buy Ridgid because of the warranty.

  321. I have owned Makita and DeWalt but I have transitioned over to Milwaukee for sheer power,,, waiting for the new1/2 in right angle impact wrench,,,not the driver but the wrench with 250 ft ibs of torque,,, DeWalt and Makita are good tools but not the same power as Milwaukee. Lol

  322. 1. DeWalt
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Bosch
    4. Hilti
    5. Ridgid
    I would have put Makita on the list but since they’re tools aren’t made in Japan anymore
    I don’t know what kind of quality the new tools have now

  323. I’m sorry but the makita and Dewalt being ranked higher than Milwaukee is just plain wrong. I used to be a snap on fan boy and I still am when it comes to hand tools but as far as battery powered tools Milwaukee has this won by a landslide

  324. For the most part ryobi was decent enough. But lacked power in some applications for what i was doing. I’d still recommend them for a dyi hero

  325. 1) Hilti
    2) Milwaukee
    3) Dewalt
    4) Makita
    5) Bosch
    * I don’t include fein or festool purely because they are speciality tool brands, and therefore are not as expansive or affordable as the others on this list. However, there is no arguing that they don’t make certain tools that are unparalleled.

    I use Milwaukee tools and am constantly impressed with the innovation and battery performance as far as cordless high output tools go, they are unmatched.

  326. I agree…makita, dewalt, Milwaukee…are great brands…have owned tools from all of them…. But have also bought some green hitachi (now called “metabo HPT”)….:and those have been just fantastic tools!!!…. My hitachi set has out lasted 10 times over the old harbor freight drill i had before.. What you call it? Hercules?…..the hitachi is outlasted that thing more then 10 times now….and still running great!!!

  327. Milwaukee definitely#1,, I am a electrician 30+ years, I’ve used about all brands nothing wrong with them tho, but Milwaukee has never let me down!! I’ve changed over to just about %100 Milwaukee include hand tools I think they are better than snap on!

    1. I do agree that Milwaukee is the best but as far as hand tools I think snap on takes the cake. Price for price tho I’ll take Milwaukee hand tools cause of cost

  328. You can’t say, it gets the job done. Because they all get the job done. I have in my pick up truck a few black n decker. That when I forget my Makita or my Milwaukee guess what! My black n decker gets the job done.😁😁😁 but my 5 are
    1. Makita
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Bosch
    4. Ryobi
    5. Ridgid
    Where Ryobi is at, use to be DeWalt. But Dewalt has been doing some messed up tools lately. I have lost lots of money with Dewalt. Haven’t been buying them for a while.

  329. Depends where your at too. In Chicago area you’ll never see Makita or kolbolt
    1. Milwaukee
    DeWalt
    Bosch
    Ryobi
    Master force

  330. #1: Makita
    #2:Makita
    #3 Makita
    #4 Makita
    #5 Makita
    Including batteries and chargers I have about 25 MAKITA cordless tools and I use them all,BTW 7 in grinder is on its way…..

  331. 1. Bosch
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Makita
    4. Hilti
    5. Festool

    The order doesn’t necessarily mean that one is better than the other, but Bosch is my go to, it’s the main battery platform I have and also a number of corded tools too.
    I have Bosch, Milwaukee and Makita from 20 years ago that still work really well.
    I have had and used and owned Hilti and Festool in the past and would not hesitate in having these top quality tools again.
    I don’t own any new Milwaukee, but many of my friends and coworkers use them, and I like them a lot.
    I have had a number of DeWalt in the past, but guess what, they kept breaking…and they just don’t feel solid or professional when using them.
    Honourable mention to metabo, had a couple of these in the past and had very good experiences with them.
    I think it often comes down to battery platform, once you’re on one it makes sense to stick with them, and the brand I always stick with is Bosch.

  332. Biased only because i use them almost every day on every job site but Ridgid is my number 1, i know that they will be with me till the day i die, i register the tool and once i get that lifetime guarantee i NEVER have to buy a tool like that again. and don’t worry, i have two of every tool i use most (technically 3 impact guns) but i will say Milwaukee has my close second for all the hand tools/tapes/PACKOUT WHICH I WILL NEVER GET ANY DIFFERENT

    Full List;
    1.Ridgid
    2.Milwakee
    3.Dewault
    4.Bosch (blades alone keep them in top 5 no matter what)
    5.Ryobi (because of the crazy stuff no one has that fills in my gaps)
    honorable mention would be makita for being so close to being what i need (maybe investing in the 32ah tools for my yard and powerless jobsite saws)

  333. Hi.. I am a beginner handyman in Eswatini (Southern Africa) and we have IngCo brand tools in most of our hardware stores… Can you tell me something about this tool please.

  334. I’m a DeWalt guy and always have been.. .. My personal opinion is I think it’s a tie first place DeWalt and Milwaukee… With that being said I’m a union carpenter and Hilti does make I’m very good tools as well… Hilti makes the best drywall Auto feeder gun on the Earth… Hilti just don’t have as many tools as DeWalt or Milwaukee offers and there are way overpriced… Now I’m not going to judge second third fourth and fifth place… as far as I see it Bosch Makita, Rigid, Cobalt, Porter Cable, Craftsman and Ryobi They all made decent tools some are better then other it’s just a matter of personal preference… FYI: The Stanley Tool Company owns the following Tool Company’s Black & Decker, DeWalt, Craftsman, Porter Cable, Mac Tools and More… And Bosch own Skill… Just my $0.02 ✌

  335. 1. Dewalt
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Makita
    4. Whatever
    5. Whatever

    I will continue to buy only 1 electronic tool company, and that’s Dewalt, I personally don’t like buying different tools and batteries I want it all to be compatible.

  336. DeWalt number 1 for what Fire starter. I seen to many DeWalt tools on this channel go up in smoke. Vince made me a Milwaukee believer.

  337. I’ve seen this guy first in the video where he told us that we can’t use flexvolt batteries with 20V tool because after some time i’ll literally burn down the tool. And now he puts dewalt on the first place 🤷🏻‍♂️

  338. Personally I think Milwaukee DeWalt and Makita belong in the same #1 spot depending on what your tool choice … Ridgid has always been a plumbing tool King but slowly getting over take. …. As for Ryobi 🤦🏾‍♂️ I guess If you want one battery for your outside and inside life that’ll bomb in performance have at er

  339. Wrong dewalt there the line of power tools that change there battery engage system you can’t run 1 sr generation dewalt tools with 3rd generation dewalt tool

  340. Milwaukee, Ryobi and now Hart are all made by TTIgroup along with several other brands like Hoover, Oreck. Homelife, AEG, Dirt Devil, VEX, Empire……

  341. Keep the kid away from the Makita Coffee machine he is getting way to hyper in these reviews .
    But I would have my ideal list would be learning towards the hi end German marks .
    Mostly equal in first place Fein , Mafell ,Festools ,Hilti.
    2 nd Joint placed would be Makita
    Metabo , DeWalt ,Bosch .
    Then with the rest following.
    DeWalt have made some great tools over the last 40 years for sure though .
    My first contact with DeWalt was when they still only made radial saws back in the early 80’s . Been using theirs and many of the above listed brands ever since.
    Thanks for another great video .

  342. You are a silly sonnagun! Love the show.
    Milwaukee
    Makita
    Miller
    Triple M baby!
    Ryobi for everything else. Frikk ya bro. I remember Ryobi early days. Very cheap. But I have almost all the ryobi outdoor, price and quality are on point! These guys have come a long long long way in the tools. They deserve a huge hand for sure.
    Love all the tools. Its hard to argue any of them. Even Harbor Frieghts lines are looking good. Haha

  343. Milwaukee and Rigid should be number 1 and two…your opnion is based on what? Milwaukee has soooo many more products you don’t mention like electrician and plumbing and…cater to professionals and homeowners alike. M12, M18 and now MX!…no other manufacturer cones close…accept RIGID.

  344. If you’re going with Dewalt, where is the new Craftsman V20 line? Its pretty much Dewalt with a slight reduction in the level of quality. I figured it would at least get an honorable mention.

  345. Nick has it energy and insider presentation.
    I like these guys Vince is direct no holds barred.
    If your in the trade then tradesmen need to do the reviews not some sales person talking to be talking.
    Contractors drink dead on pry bars have bottle opener,as some Milwaukee stuff
    8f something happens they laugh instead if asking your okay?
    Talk trash are real men tough guys work hard no holds barred.
    I have worked with numerous other trades my favorite trimming out and house cabinet installer came into the room told me is the friendly house he has seen all the walls are waving at him

  346. What drill should I get I put gutters up and put in a lot of screws I mean a lot 1/4” hex 1 1/2” I used Dewalt for years

  347. FYI. Milwaukee, Ridgid and Ryobi are manufactured by the same company. Techtronic industries of North America. You mention Ryobi for DYI. I’m very aware that contractors are using the Ryobi tools because it’s a solid tool with a good battery system good selection of One Plus Tools and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg when their employees lose them or maybe inadvertently take them home. If you base the brands versatility from the one plus power tools, lawn and garden products with their HP 9AH 18V Lithium batteries to their 40V lithium lawn and garden products. They offer a broad base of battery products at an affordable price. An easy choice for a top five placement.

    #1: MILWAUKEE:
    #2. RIDGID:
    # 3. HILTI:
    # 4. RYOBI:
    #5. DEWALT:

  348. Same here… once DeWALT – allways DeWALT. DeWALT is number one no questions asked!!! Let’s go baby!!!

  349. As a Painter & Decorator Dewalt takes the win for me. Cordless Graco Airless sprayer runs off a dewalt battery and i love the new cordless sanders that run on brushless motors. Never had a bad tool from dewalt!

    1. Jay Muzik TV well, I have a different experience, I bought a drill and not even a year later it completely broken, not to mention the dozen repairs and motor fixes…

    2. @LegoBoy1919 not if you consider value for the money. and the selections. they have the most selection with 1 battery fits all. the price and durability. cant beat it. I have a 16 year old ryobi and still works like brand new

  350. How the hell is Ryobi above Milwaukee and how the hell is DeWalt on this list DeWalt should be in the garbage bin with Ryobi.

  351. My go to is and has been makita my dad bought a 12 volt drill with a Jacobs chuck way back before quick change batteries wer invented (1987) ish when they bought a home in Florida we are from Michigan to whinter over in he took it there he sent the drill in for a new battery 10 years later no charge thats customer service and they are the manufacturer dewalt is made by Stanley black and decker a Chinese owned company I have had dewalt they never last as far as bits and driver bites millwalkee hands down they hold up the best.

  352. 1. Fein
    2. Hilti
    3. Metabo
    4. Makita
    5. Milwaukee
    Also Home Depot Rigid is different from plumbing/hvac Rigid. Home Depot Rigid is owned by TTI who had a licensing agreement with Emerson to use the Rigid name, in other continents it’s called AEG.

  353. Ridgid… No way to get more bang for the buck… Kobalt, like Ryobi makes a very good tool for entry level pro/tradesman and or serious DIYer BUT they do not have the jobsite toughness, nor do they have electronics that are as effective at protecting the tool from overload/user abuse, nor do they have the battery life on same ah ratings nor do they have the features and, on EVERY comparison i have made, the Kobalts are heavier… Don’t get me wrong, I own a bunch of kobalt stuff and I find it to be top-notch consumer/DIY  but I also own a bunch of Ridgid stuff in 12, 18 and corded and, regardless of which models I can directly compare, the Ridgid line consistantly out performs the Kobalts and the Ryobi… What Makes Ryobi so great is the expansiveness of the line up BUT the Kobalts where they are competing, are better-performing tools. Gotta let you have DeWalt as the top of the hill However, if you want truely expansive line… it’s Milwaukee

  354. Milwaukee is the line of tools I’ve been on for years. but I can’t lie, Dewalt deserves number 1 since I was a kid I’ve never been on a job without Dewalt

  355. Dewalt is my #1 also great tools and long lasting. Dont forget the dewalt tough system cooler. But I must say Milwaukee has the best impact bits the dewalt round out to fast.

  356. Ryobi’s batteries suck. I had a 5 tool kit that was close to $300 n batteries stopped working in less then 2 years n was given the run around when I tried to make use of the 3yr warranty.

  357. With Bosch you also get Fein and Mafell technology for a reasonable price. Talking about the best brands, they both have to be mentioned as well as Hilti and Metabo. Best cordless platform? Makita: everything with the same 18V batteries

  358. That 18 v DeWalt chop saw blow off when been using 240v optional option . They not reliable tools. I prefer Makita over for reliability and versatility.

  359. Hilti are the best but they are hard to get and sometimes priced out. Bit like snap on everything on the monthly and low stockists so I’m going dewalt it’s by far the best. Has diy level and full time builder level tools. In the uk dewalt is the best.

  360. For my list is
    Hilti
    Makita
    Dewalt
    Bosh
    Ridgid

    For me I love all of my 5 brands for different reasons and, I don’t stick to one brand ,here is why
    1 hilti I love it for its reliability for distorting concrete and there sds and brackers are amazing
    2 makita are good for different things like battery drills are amazing and iv poshed my impact to the point that I could not hold it with gloves
    3 dewalt amazing quality iv got gigsaws and there little attachments brilliant and they have the best flip saw in the world check that out DW743N
    4 bosh I do like bosh good tools and very useful only have 2 or 3 of there products so from what iv seen of there tools good
    5 ridgid lovely strong tools for the job site there I agree completely

  361. Mikata is number one Ryobi is number two dewalt is the worst tool company I use ever day at work and the battery do not last we use flex volt and it sucks the battery never last long enough to get the job done

  362. I used to be a DeWalt guy but Milwaukee won me over long ago with their specialty plumbing cordless tools and their battery technology was lithium ion first I believe and seemed to last longer back then. Milwaukee bit sets suck though. DeWalt are way better there

  363. For me (an aircraft mechanic):

    Ridgid for the 18V tools (best bang for the buck, less expensive than the others but still nearly as powerful; also love lifetime service agreement)
    Milwaukee for the 12V Tools (can’t beat Milwaukee on this area)
    DeWalt for the drill/screw bits

  364. I give milwaukee the edge when you add in their 12v tools. Huge selection and sometimes a lot more convenient

  365. 1. Milwaukee (partial to my first set of power tools).
    2. Dewalt (Best miter and table saws and bits, period).
    3. Makita (quality tool brand I learned construction with)
    4. Ryobi (always running specials on their tools).
    5. Bosch (love their corded jigsaw and laser distance measures ).

  366. Got a 50$ ryobi drill. Big mistake haha can’t even put in drywall screws. Can’t make a hole in anything. Idk why it’s called a drill I just needed aomthing really cheap to drive a few screws while my good drill was left in my work locker for the weekend by accident. Total garbage

  367. I love Ridgid, but only because of the Warranty. You take that away, and it doesn’t make the cut. Not because they are bad, it’s because they don’t make anything that is special in the power tool industry. No outdoor power tools, no battery powered coffee maker for hunting season. With that said, leaving out the high end brands, and looking more to the mainstream, here is my list:
    1. Milwaukee
    2. Bosch
    3. DeWalt
    4. Makita
    5. Kobalt

  368. I was in home depot looking at DeWalt tools and notice I never seen a dewalt battery powered ratchet. Do they make one?

  369. Okay where is hilt or Festool I made the mistake of investing thousands of dollars into Milwaukee to find out they can’t fix their stuff right and it takes them months to fix them well you are out of a tool Makita and hilti are the only two companies worth mentioning for a tradesperson because of how fast they can fix a tool I own a DeWalt miter saw which is out of calibration I have heard they are worse than Milwaukee at service time and rigid is made by the same parent company as Milwaukee I don’t expect any better from them

    1. I would go as far as to suggest Ryobi because they’re cheap and you still get the shity service time but you’re not wasting your money on Milwaukee bull crap

  370. 1 makita
    2 Milwaukee
    3 Bausch
    3 Ridged
    4 Ryobi
    5 Dewalt
    This is what I ment to say cause this is fact jack!!!

  371. Love the hand movement.. all over the place but I agree I use Dewalt on a daily basis I also have three flexvolt batteries which I tell you last a long time. I’m a steel fabricator and I drill through steel aluminum and Stainless with my 20v Dewalt XR Hammer drill with the flex volt batteries attached and I can run all week on One battery I have had them battery since 2018 and they are still going strong.. I also have a regular XR BLUETOOTH DRILL. I can actually track how many trigger pulls has been done locate where the tool is at check the temperature I can also control the RPMs and the LED light from my phone.. soon I will be replacing all my DeWalt with the XR Bluetooth Edition Dewalts.. I am 100% a DeWalt guy.. but I also like Milwaukee Makita and Kobalt as well

  372. Very hard to respect a top 5 list that doesn’t include Hilti. But, you included Ryobi, DeWalt, Makita and Rigid…seriously?

    Why no mention of Stanley Black & Decker (DeWalt parent) and TTI (parent of Milwaukee, Ridgid and Ryobi)? SB&D also owns Porter Cable, a fave of the Harbor Freight crowd.

    It’s good to know who owns your favorite tools, and which other brands they manufacture. The engineering and component sets are identical. I’m impressed they changed the plastic housing covers so you can tell the brands apart…

  373. Dewalt is so terrible. Handles arent ergonomic, the batteries are s#*t and the tools themselves barely last 2 years. I wouldn’t even consider them an amutuers brand.

  374. 1. Milwaukee
    2. Makita
    3. DeWalt (best bits and accessories)
    4. Ryobi (Great for tools that aren’t part of your main repertoire)
    5. Kobalt (Super underrated)

  375. When you think ridgid power tools and ridgid plumbing tools are the same company lol get your facts right bro they are ya the same company

  376. I have honestly never heard anyone dispute that Milwaukee is the number one cordless tool brand, I know plenty of people that don’t use Milwaukee but that’s only because they are so invested in their brand that they can’t switch

  377. Milwaukee is ok at 3 for me. I was introduced to Milwaukee in the coal mine and durability of Milwaukee tools is amazing. Dust, dirt mud water, hot, cold it doesn’t matter the tools hold up. The batteries on the other hand aren’t so durable I’ve been through a bunch at work and home.

  378. 1) makita
    2) dewalt
    3) metabo
    4) milwaukee
    5) bosh

    Honourable mentions
    Hilti
    Ryobi

    No rigid or kobolt for me ad they are not in Europe and a toolbrand that is not World wide cant be on a top 5

  379. I can not argue with your list but what I see there is not that magnificent difference between the brands that you choose. you can not go wrong with each one but you need to consider some minor issues that will change from person to person.

  380. Ryobi really is worth the honorable mention; I got into the line just for the cordless hot glue gun. Now I own couple inflators and a hybrid fan. I have no interest in using their line for construction stuff, but their hobby stuff is awesome. I want the rotorary tool, solder gun, heat gun and pin nailer.

    For construction, when I was doing it as a pro I was in Milwaukee. Once I switched professions out of construction I sold off my red and bought into Ridgid. That lifetime service agreement appeals to the DIY in me. Now that they are coming out with the band saw, the only thing I’m left wanting out of their line is the mitre saw. They had it for awhile, but I can’t get one now.

  381. Makita rules, De Walt and Milwaukee ok but less innovative and expensive, Bosch dishwasher👍 fridge 👍washing machine👍 not power tools. Could tell the ‘winner’ by the hat, ahh free stuff my dirty friend!

  382. For build quality, Metabo is hard to beat. I’d definitely toss Ingersoll-Rand into the mix, too. The only things that hurt these two brands is their costs and limited offerings compared to other brands.

    1. I don’t recommend the 18 gauge nailer gun (metabo or hitachi) it sucks ,,,but I love the 15 gauge nailer

  383. It does appear that milwaukee epoxies their circuit boards and “hot snots” the wire connections. Nor sure about the other brands, yet. Important if you’re not just a diy’er

  384. With my small amount of experience I have found the list to run something like this:

    Milwaukee
    DeWalt
    Makita(maybe #2 solely because of the “expansiveness” of their lines.
    Ridgid
    Bosch
    All other tool brands
    Ryobi

    1. That sounds odd. Since I have been using many of their tools for a while and they seem to work great for me. I guess everyone has their own experience with tools.

    2. @Badar Jahangir Kayani
      Well the video is about best tools, not best bang for your buck. But I would agree with you with this for an impact and drill.

      I am a home “gamer” and I bought some Ryobi tools for Black Friday. Sawzall broke first project, jig saw the spring platform for keeping the platform square broke after 3rd project. Table saw is so bad, it is the only table saw in the world I need help feeding a piece of plywood through,. To the point of being unsafe. If your gonna assmeble some furniture and hang pictures, Ryobi is great. Of your gonna do any actual remodel, Ryobi is garbage.

  385. I have been a hitachi customer since back when makita made the L shaped drill & dewalt only made radial arm saws. Love all the new dewalt, Milwaukee & makita offerings, but would have been nice to see metabo hpt get an honorable mention for their job site saw, if nothing else.

  386. I personally don’t know how many people who respond are actually working on job sites, but when you do at least in the west, concrete, and framers, roofers, drywallers use Dewalt more then 75% of the time. Hvac, plumbers and electricians use millwaukee. The one tool I see electricians use more and more is the Dewalt staple gun for romex.For me it’s not even who’s best it’s who has the tool I need, and for years no other brands had the worm drive style saw, I use my framing nail gun every day, and I’m certainly not going to have 5 different batteries. The latest is the gun that shoot nails into concrete that thing is a GAME CHANGER I’ve been using it the last 2 days to shoot down shaft wall track so for me Dewalt had all those tools 1 battery, then I set pocket door frames with my 887, cut the frame to size with my hacksall drilled holes into concrete with my 796 1 battery the same one for the nail gun and concrete nail gun. So for me it’s what ever company has the tools you need to get the job done.

    1. Totally agree, go to tools that get YOUR job done, this whole YouTube is defined by that, apart from the DIY guys😭

  387. This guy says dewalt #2 philips is the best when the channel actually has a whole video saying how makits xps #2 philips is the best haha how can dewalt be better then milwaukee which has a way bigger variety of tools which are top of the line dewalt takes it for table and miter saws but that’s about it .

  388. 1. Ryobi
    2. Aeg/rigid
    3. Ozito (very cheap Australian brand)
    4. Makita (only ever used there jigsaw
    5. Idk theses are the only ones I use
    Ps. I don’t like Bosch

  389. If this was Vince’s list we all know Milwaukee would have been number 1 and so it should be. Milwaukee is the best around!!!

  390. Ok I was shocked that Milwaukee was 3 but the Coffey maker is awesome!! And now I understand why it 3 and Makita is 2 I like

  391. Can’t believe a festool is not here, definitely Nr 1 for me!, then nr 2 dewalt, don’t have any more, those are only 2 brands I’m using

  392. Name something that DeWalt makes the Milwaukee doesn’t make better.. Milwaukee has a larger line, more battery options, Milwaukee also has more hand tools and better merch

  393. Okay Nick so when you said which one is going to be the number or is the number one I just have to stop watching your video simply one detail is they make batteries that fit loose and the 18v did too,they would even brake apart on DeWalt. that is not deserving of number one

  394. I’d say my list (im going to 10)
    1. Hilti
    2. Millwaukee
    3. Dewalt
    4. Kobalt
    5. Makita
    6. Ridgid (they have a subcompact series in stores rn waiting to be put out)
    7. Bosch
    8. Ryobi
    9. Hikoki (i know its hitachi but itsnt that a vibrator brand also hikoki is fun to say)
    10. Skil(i just love the halo light)

  395. the best brand depends on what you use them for. Dewalt mainly for saws, Milwaukee id say best known for drills, ridgid i love their brad guns, Makita haven’t used them same as bosh. Milwaukee also has a good router. now obvioulsy this is like one thing that brand has, all these brands are great. i would recommend any. but i feel like the best brand is the brand you first buy or your parents have. for me we have had a Ryobi miter and table saw, both worked great, i like Ryobi, but my dad has always said it ain’t no dewalt. i completely agree. the first compound dewalt miter saw we ever bought was amazing, cuts wood like a knife through butter. for me i would say dewalt, milwaukee, and makita are tied for 1st or in some order in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, Ridgid, and ryobi somewhere near. but my opinion aint very accurate because i have not used many tools in my life so this is i what i see off of the internet

  396. I don’t agree with your list, but as yo say, it is YOUR list 👍👍👍. I think you missed a very important brand: Hilti.

  397. 1. Pittsburgh
    2. Amazon Basics
    3. Hercules
    4. DeWalt
    5. The biggest “/s” I can find

    As a new tradesman, love the channel. Mix and match DeWalt/Milwaukee on the job.

  398. @VCG Construction. Thanks Nick for putting out your list. I started out with Black & Decker Professional line, switched to Dewalt (12V & 14 4V). After switching from NiCad to LiIon, I went Makita. I also have corded and cordless from other brands. So from my collection and experience, my list is
    1. Makita
    2. Dewalt
    3. Milwaukee
    4. Bosch
    5. Ridgid

    Hope the entire VCG and their families stay safe and well.

  399. 1. Makita. Best motors, best bang for your buck, best batteries besides Bosch maybe, best chargers, highest quality builds, best bits that fit unbelievably perfectly and last forever. Dewalts tools come with stickers that quickly fall off, Makita tools have beveled crisp logos that actually last, a symbol of their quality. Makita is a very innovative brand with very sophisticated engineering that sets many of their tools in a class of their own. Emphasis on lightweight and compact tools without sacrificing power.
    2. Bosch. Very high quality tools and very advanced engineering and build quality.
    3. Milwaukee. Very strong motors and batteries. Very innovative offerings and designs for many of their tools. Many swear they have the best cordless drills right now.
    4. DeWalt. Very strong build quality. Drills still come with metal chucks unlike Makita.
    5. Metabo HPT. Newly formed when Hitachi power tools was merged with metabo, a very high end European tool brand.

  400. I already knew what was number one before watching the whole video. The giveaway was your hat. #TeamDewalt

    1. I’m an industrial electrician so having the tools that will get the job done is important that’s why Milwaukee is #1 btw thanks for all the great content on your channel Vince

    2. I’m an industrial electrician so gots to have the tools that will do the job Thanks for all the great info on your channel btw Vince

  401. I would definitely agree with you as I own mostly makita and dewalt!

    I would however have them in reverse order lol 😁

  402. Avid diyer. Ryobi fit my budget enough to let me by more tools, let me develop. Now I’m slowly upgrading to Makita. Why Makita? I wanted a solid worm drive circular saw for decking. Got a crazy deal on a cordless Makita.

  403. Awesome video! I’m bias as well. Dewalt gets my blood pumping! 👊Nothing wrong with the rest of the brands though! I would say don’t hate on HFT Earthquake XT line of tools until you’ve used them. I love their impacts. But of course I plan to use the no questions asked warranty! 😝🤗

  404. I have two. Dewalt and festool. Can’t afford to many festool products, but I have the domino and worth every penny.

  405. 1.Dewalt
    2.Milwauki
    3.Makita
    Dewalt is easily the number one best overall tool brand for construction. The proof is all over your job site. Black and yellow every where!!!!!! and its been that way for a while now. i would put milwaukee at a close second though. and makita third. I consider these 3 head and heals above all others. but some of makitas tools are weirdly shaped and sometimes overly bulky. Milwaukee power tools seem to have more power typically but too much power Is not an asset for alot tasks and breaking bits and fasteners all day will send you home in bad spirits. As a finish Carpenter the miter saw is the holy grail of power tools. power and precision is vital here and Dewalt is the king of miter saws and has been for at least 20 years! you can not go onto a jobsite and not find The Black and yellow miter box job site legend. Way to rep the Black and Yellow Nick! Plus nothing compares to the Flexvolt Battery technology provided by Dewalt.
    P.S. I’ve never heard of dewalt impacts smoking during heavy use until I saw your show. usually I see 20 yo 18v dewalt impacts still being used on the job and the repair stores always tell me they get 10 milwaukee repairs for every 1 dewalt.

  406. IMO:
    1. DeWalt / Milwaukee
    2. Makita
    3. Bosch
    4. Rigid
    5. Ryobi – Perfect for DIY/Weekend Warrior & line is SO expansive.

    Specialty Brand:
    • Festool: #1 for woodworking but too expensive.
    • Hilti: Always been high rated for warranty and for their tools. But DeWalt/Milwauke have advanced so much, how much longer will these guys stick around.

    Honorable Mention:
    • Kobalt: XTR looks nice, too new and not enough tools.

    Avoid (better value getting a brand above on sale):
    Hart
    Craftsman

    1. @Wonka absolutely! I’m not saying Hilti tools are bad, that’s why I put them as a speciality brand like Festool. I am just saying in 2020, DeWalt/Milwaukee, Bosch/Makita can make comparable tools for a better cost nowadays. Hiltis warranty is great. But we typically will buy newer tools before the warranty runs out anyway. So that’s why I lean towards either DeWalt or Milwaukee.

    2. Abdul Our foreman have Hilti tools but they all still use their respective platforms. One a Dewalt, one a Bosch, one a Milwaukee. I went from an XR to a 12v Fuel platform and for everything except extreme duty, I believe it’ll suffice.

    3. Have you used Hilti tools? Have used Bosch, Makita and Dewalts and none of them even compare to the Hiltis I mostly use at work.

  407. Craftsman was my first power tool and honestly they haven’t given me any issues using them professionally for a year.

  408. You absolutely nailed it. Perfect order and right down to the honorable mentions. I couldn’t have put it any better. Thought you might have channeled my skull.

  409. My ranking of tools
    Hilti first place
    Milwaukee
    Fest tool
    Makita
    Bosch
    DeWalt last
    Rigid is worth a look.

    I think he drinks regular coffee mixed with moutian dew with 2 sugars mixed.

    Just ah kidding dude
    I like your reviews they are straight and to the point

  410. Makita bro yellow burns out prefer precision and long lasting reliability only like the mitre saw of DeWalt no one likes Wasps

  411. When are we going to get a list for apprentice transitioning to pro/expert tools and who should they be going to. Like I need to start my lasting set I need to know VCG give me the truth.

    1. I started with rayobi, I still have the original starter kit in garage somewhere. But now I have milwaukee m18 and m12
      Tons of tools, I buy them as I need them or will use them much, everything from drain cleaning equipment to concrete work, and all basic stuff. My collection is getting too big and always seeing more stuff I like.

    2. Don’t go cheap to start like porter cable, ryobi, hart etc. Get a good kit now. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita all good comes down to preference. Get a combo kit to start and than just build of that battery platform by adding tools to it.

  412. I pretty much have used all the brand on the list expect kobolt not in Australia. At the end happy to stick with Bosch blue and Makita, super reliable and very comfortable to use. Bosch battery is better than makita 18v.

  413. @VCG construction #1 Dewalt #2 Milwaukee #3 makita #4 ridgid #5 Bosch #6 ryobi. Black and yellow all the way. Can’t wait till you all can get your hands on that tough system 2.0. I do like the list Nick! Happy Saturday hope you and the fam are well during this mayhem!

  414. I willl give you this DeWalt bits are one of the best. But I believe Milwaukee and Makita are one, two then DeWalt these days. DeWalt is a step behind the composition.

  415. The guy full of energy. But cant count ridgid,kobalt bosch, Milwaukee, ryobi,makita and dewalt lol that’s is his top5 big him up

  416. Red is my favorite color. I’ve been using Milwaukee M18 and M12 for years. Once you’re on a battery platform, you’re kinda stuck on it. Now Milwaukee just needs to come out with a M12 green laser level and I’m set. Currently using a crap Bosch red cross line red laser level that uses AA batteries. It’s kinda crap, got it on clearance when HD lost the Bosch franchise and they went to Lowe’s or something.

    I even got the Kaizen Kollers for my packout so I can take off the handle and it fits in the trunk of my Corolla (also red).

    If my favorite color was blue, would have totally been a Bosch guy. But do they have anything like the packout? NO. My packout stack, if I put them all together, exceed the ceiling height of my home, especially with that packout Backpack topping the stack.

    If I was a rich tyro, totally would have gone with Hilti (also red, natch), or if Lowe’s had the Craftsman line much earlier, maybe woulda gone that way. Happy with the Milwaukee line though, especially the M12 installer driver (I do a lot of furniture assembly and cabinetry work) and the latest M12 fuel impact driver (which doesn’t have the stupid collet issues the M18 gen 3 does)…

  417. Milwaukee
    Delwalt
    Mikita
    Ridgid
    Snap on
    Being the equipment machine as well as operator Plus working in the trades as carpenters and plumbers building everything from house to highway bridges and highrise office and apartments building you learn really fast where to get the best tools for the job and definitely depends upon the job your doing on who makes the very best tools..

  418. Milwaukee doesn’t need 60 volt or 36 volt from dewalt or makita. But dewalt does have some decent sds max hammer drills I do like those.

    1. I have a feeling Milwaukee is going to come out with a Mx fuel lawn mower this year they have to keep up with makita

    1. VCG Construction thank you Vice and Nick and the rest of the #verycoolgang!!! My favorite channel on YouTube

  419. 1. Makita
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Dewalt
    4. Bosch blue
    5. Stanley fatmax ( best hand tools avaliable)

    Honorable mention of Ryobi and the old school Black n Decker! Hope you agree!

  420. I stopped the video after Milwaukee was number 3. Before you announced number 2 I’m going to guess it is Dewalt. Time to find out. Don’t worry Vince Milwaukee should be number 2 I’m on ur side

  421. 1:DeWalt
    2: milwaukee
    3: Hilti
    4:makita
    5: AEG/ Ridgid

    personally I will never buy makita as I hate the handles.

    1. Yeah I know, it doesn’t make any sense to me as why Ryobi is second place and Milwaukee came in third place, but Milwaukee is still in the top 3…

  422. Honorable Mention #2 is nothing but garbage. That crap is the worst of the worst. That brand deserves nothing but a visit to the incinerator.

  423. 5. Ridgid (wonderful, affordable tools and they make a cordless belt sander)
    4. Milwaukee (reliable and durable tools. Big line)
    3. Dewalt (It’s Dewalt)
    2. Bosch (Best Rotary Hammer, Best Router and right now the best Miter Saw)
    1. ‘keeter!! (I can’t think of a single Makita tool that I wouldn’t recommend)

  424. Milwaukee, DeWalt and Makita could easily tie for the top spot, it just depends witch tools you have and like more. The coofee maker did it for me.

  425. I am a home rehab contractor ..I do anything from trim work to drywall and building decks to Vynil siding and painting I use Ryobi tools exclusively it’s been 5 yrs now and they keep running sometimes better then the dewalts other contractors have ..so yanno I think it’s personal preference

    1. Connor Davis
      No doubt….I’ll use almost anything as long as it works for me. I have a Ryobi 18v impact driver that’s going on 5 years old. It was a gift from the kids and I have beat the piss out of it. Still running strong….although I did upgrade the battery to 4 ah.

  426. Anyone Notice That TTi who makes Ridgid’s Power tool line uses the same designs for there own brand AEG that is sold outside the US.
    I wonder if the Batteries are interchangeable the outside moldings look identical.

    I also think this is the one the the reasons why Ridgid Power tool are Orange & Gray/Black instead of Red & Gray/Black. Since Ridgid’s beginnings in the 1920’s/30’s their color & branding was always Red! I Guess TTi Can’t make two Red Branded tools they may own Milwaukee But they don’t own the Ridgid.

  427. Ha what ever. Whatever gets the job done without breaking. I had Bosch but it didn’t last long. Black and decker but it didn’t last then Porter Cable 12v has lasted but need more power on something’s. Enter DeWalt. I’m happy price and quality is good. I’m probably not going to change platforms.

  428. Thanks for the video.
    I can’t agree with DeWalt at #1. I’ve always been disappointed by the tools.
    Big props for putting Ryobi on. Great value from that brand. They may not be the best for performance, but in terms of performance for the price they are very often #1.
    I would have probably put Milwaukee at the top. I’ve never been disappointed by the tools from Milwaukee.
    I think you missed the ball on Craftsman. Craftsman tools are everywhere. They don’t have the best cordless offering but they have fantastic hand tools. Wrenches, rachets, screwdrivers, sockets. Craftsman hand tools are great. And they last. So many people have not just a Craftsman tool but an old Craftsman tool. Definitely the most likely tool to be handed down from father to son because they work well and they last.
    Keep up the great content. I love the energy.👍

  429. They are all good brands, I’m a DIY and a weekend woodworker and I’m using Metabo, Bosch, DeWalt, Skil and Makita.and think that all those brands are more than adequate for a DIYer and for pro’s. I saw pro’s using very high brands tools but they did not know how to use them correctly and frankly i wouldn’t let them use the tools, and i saw pro’s doing very beautiful Jobs with lower brands tools. So it’s not just the tool but it’s also how you hand with it. And for me VCG are at the top!!

  430. Need to do a tool announcement. Home Depot has some dewalt tools with battery and charger at like $120+ OFF. Right angle drill, 3 amh battery and charger for $119. Grinder, battery, charger $119. Sold out but sale is through august. Online only

  431. I knew you were hitting dewalt in on no1 when I saw that cap on your head Nick. Did you see the last cobalt vs dewalt impact driver showdown. I guess not.

  432. depending on your main focus:
    1. Festool, Hilti, Mafell, Fein
    2. Bosch, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Metabo, Hikoki
    3. the rest

    1. This

      1) Elite brands . Super expensive

      2) rest of the professional brands that all have their standout tools but overall are similar

      3) the rest

  433. 1. Hilti – Sds drills, Quality, Warranty
    2. Dewalt – Saws, lighting, ergonomics
    3. Makita -impact, drill, comfort
    4. Milwaukee – power, m12, packout
    5. Hikoki/Aeg/Ridgid

    1. Hilti lasts hence the lifetime warranty plus price I’m a Makita fan love my impact and plainer and skillsaw and compact router and and and etc I can’t compare precision and reliability DeWalt get hot and burn out but can’t carry on but have to admit I love there skill saw but I haven’t bought the Makita yet?

  434. For the record, Makita is the *TITANIC TEAL*

    *BIG BLUE* is reserved for Kobalt, they’re just getting started & they’re about to catch up to the Big Brands👌💯

  435. 1. Milwaukee
    2. Bosch
    3. Dewalt
    4. Rigid
    5. Makita
    1st mention ryobi
    2nd Mention Kobalt
    @vcgconstruction

  436. Bosch makes the only wiper blades I buy love the icon wiper blades and I agree there measuring instruments are the best @vcgconstruction

  437. Best carpentry lol gotta be all around put them in a more industrial setting I dont have the time to watch it struggle through metal milwaukee makita rigid so much better overall

  438. Until Milwaukee gets drawers for the pack out system the tough system is still the best storage system out there. If Milwaukee ever makes drawers then that will change for me

  439. Ridgid stoped making the Rigid Calender with the Ridgid Girls. They haven’t been the same since. lol

  440. Kobalt sockets are pretty good too I broke my snapon socket looked like a bannana peel the kobalt took the same bolt off and it didn’t deform or crack. No visible damage to it

  441. Makitas biggest issue is their batteries hate the cold.

    I run Makita at work and that’s the only issue I have with them.

  442. 1.Milwaukee 2.Ridgid 3.Ryobi brushless 4.Kobalt 24 volt 5.Masterforce and the worse brand to me is default and their crappy warranty just like nick and his videos and ridgid should be higher!

  443. As a DeWalt guy here’s my list:

    1. Tied- Milwaukee & DeWalt – Both have lines that are so wide and so well preforming that many tradesmen have at least one tool from one of these brands.
    2. Makita – As one of the oldest tool companies, Makita has the experience and reputation of making tools that many companies don’t and it shows.
    3. Hilti – Makes some of the best-specialized tools; so if your job involves specialized work you’re usually using a Hilti.
    4. Ridgid – Outsources its pro-consumer power tools but also makes some of the best tools for plumbing where failure isn’t an option and Ridgid pulls through.
    5. Bosch – Builds top tier power tools but also has a wide variety of accessories and other products that many people own whether they realize it.

  444. Bosch. My grandads electric screwdriver from the 80’s is still working to this day! But the bosch drill and driver toolbit set I have is the most excrement like I’ve used, super soft and brittle.

    1. @fhernando gharcia If its that 7 1/2 inch saw, then that thing is a beast! Been using it the last few weeks and it cuts through 2×12 lvl beams like butter

    2. Agree !!
      BUT DeWalt is the best !!
      Hilti n Bosh are there !
      Only problem ??? COST !!!!
      DeWalt has bee the value ! NOW they are priced $5-$20 below these I have mentioned !
      Tablesaw – Hitachi/Mitalbo ! Best ! Copied DeWalt geared fence ! But has a 37” rip capacity !
      -Rotary hammers Bosch
      -strongest (marginable !) Milwaukee n Makita !
      I could go on n on ! Used all of them !
      BUT I drive a Chevy ! Another argument ! On my 13th o e ! Flawless ! 200k in every one ! Sold them to workers ! They drove them 3-4 more years !
      I’m cheep ! But performance is everything ! Sad DeWalt has raised their prices to $$ of the others !
      Cause now if I scrapped them ??
      Milwaukee would win my business !!
      I bought the DeWalt 4-piece the week Lowes had it ! $499.00 !😩😬😬 A lot of guys laughed ! Many NOW have cordless totally ! Most tell each other !! Remember Monkeyboyz bought that DeWalt set ?? Then a month later got another one ! WOW !!
      I even bought the 18 to 20 volt converts ! Still have everyday 18 volt tools on trucks ! Can’t tear um up ! If they do ? Ain’t doin nothin if you ain’t BREAKIN a tool now n then !
      Besides ! I live 5 miles from the Houston Service Center ! Dey all know me ! Hope they are ALL WELL !!! Been closed since the end of March !!
      GOD BLESS

  445. Need to bump DeWalt down. flex volt and their 12 volt are their only pro tools. Their hand tools are mediocre at best. Their toolboxes are thin walled. Stanley black and Decker just has a really good advertising campaign.

  446. 1. Milwaukee m12 is the deciding factor
    2. Makita
    3. Dewalt
    4. Ryobi price and selection
    5. rigid warranty

  447. OK so the guy wearing the dewalt hat ranks dewalt #1. Very surprising. Milwaukee at 3! Does Vince know about this!!!???? Nice video guys always love them.

  448. Agree 100%, also got a dewalt first so ima a little biased too. Love the battery platform and how they’re always in the top 3 of every tool category. Consistently tough and effective.

  449. Where is Metabo Maffel or Festool this list is missing a lot very incomplete. I think you guys at VCG need to do a bit more of research.

  450. Sitting here in the Lowe’s parking lot on my lunch break with a dewalt cordless heat gun I’m taking back. The thing sucks. I have a shop FULL of dewalt tools and batteries… and I work for SBD. With that said, I wish Lowe’s sold Ryobi or we had a Home Depot in town. Dewalt is overpriced and pros can use ryobi stuff just fine. Dewalt is convenient for me because Lowe’s is 5 minutes from home. That’s the only reason I buy it.

  451. For having used Makita, Bosch and Ryobi and now I work on my sites with Milwaukee (15 machines): it is without question the best brand for me; equivalent to hilti, but Bosch is far behind, and Ryobi is out of the race. Well, it’s in France, maybe in the USA it’s different. Keep it up, you’re great!

    1. @Specialized Adventures Stanley Black and Decker own DeWalt. Black and Decker is a separate brand under that ownership. The quality of BandD as a product is not indicative of DeWalts quality. I do agree Black and Decker is not that bad. Got the cheap Jigsaw from HD and it runs good.

    2. Boooo! Stop hating on Chicago Electric. They’re 20 dollars and they work sometimes! 🙂 lol

  452. The problem is and NOBODY ever talks about it is the INTERNALS of the tools……..Milwaukee and Makita POT their electronics. Dewalt, Rigid, and Royobi do NOT. This means that the internals in Milwaukee and Makita are ALOT more protected from hard use such as dust, dirt, and water. This is why all the attempts of using Dewalt have failed on our job sites. I build bridges so we’re always working with concrete dust, working in the rain, and beating tools up in general so take it from me when I say that Dewalt tools just do not last under hard use.

    1. @Connor Brown It means they take the internal electronics and dip it in a “pot” of resin forming a solid brick with everything sealed permanently inside of it.

    2. @damn good – this might be a dumb question, but what is POT? I am looking at a starter kit and have been leaning towards Makita

    3. I can’t agree more!! I’m a electrician I’ve used them all, but Milwaukee hands down in my opinion is built more for industrial/ commercial use! It’s hard to beat Milwaukee!!! And the warranty service is excellent when needed which is hardly ever

  453. Commercial carpentry foreman for 13 years. Haven’t had anything perform better than hilti. Also their service is unequaled.

  454. Happy Saturday VCG and all of the gang! Great job, guys, keep up the good work! 👍🧰👍🌞😍😎

  455. I was once a DeFault fan… Oh im sorry, DeWalt fan years ago. 😆 they are good quality tools, says not this guy 😆. Here’s my list dude:

    1 = Makita
    2 = Milwaukee
    3 = Bosch
    4 = DeWalt
    5 = Ryobi

  456. Good list. I have rigid, DeWalt, milwaukie, Makita and Ryobi in my garage! I would swap milwaukie and DeWalt as milwaukie has all the same offerings as DeWalt but milwaukie smashes everybody else in the compact tool world with their 12v line.

  457. Of course the DeWalt boy has to have mustard as number one… I think Vince needs to start double checking your videos.

  458. DeWalt #1 for carpentry if you like that charred look. LOL
    Great job Nick, every one of the brands shine at something, arguing top spot is a matter of preference. Ultimately even with the honorable mentions, you can’t go wrong.

    1. Gotta remember the other brand names under Stanley black and decker. Between all of those brands they are the biggest tool manufacturer.

  459. DeWalt is my favorite I have at 160 PC’s from 12 v to 60 v Milwaukee for my mechanic tools impacts rachets Ryobi to outdoor tools but I haven’t I haven’t used (mikita) lol since the had the 7 v to 12 v tool sold them all .

  460. Hey tjere thanks for the video.
    I Think you can make what ever list you want. But since you Maske my opinion i would change Bosch and makita.
    The best way is to find the best toll for your Job of whatever brand. Cause that way you fill your shop with just the best tools for you.
    Milwaukee drill feels better and works better than the DeWalt for you: get it
    Bosch has the best laser:get it
    Thanks again and see you next time.

  461. This one can be tricky. Are we only thinking about battery-powered tools? I don’t think Ryobi should be on the list. Some of their tools are way under-powered for a professional, and overuse plastic on sensitive parts. I think both Milwaukee and Dewalt are very comparible in power, prices and selection. I’d still go with Dewalt as I think their tools are in general lighter. They’re also cheaper in Europe. I’m still a bit surprised that you didn’t mention Festool or Hilti. Maybe, because they’re less known in USA? Metabo HPT is also a very good brand, but currently with a more limited selection.

  462. My list is a little different. I use my tool professionally.
    My front line power tools are German Metabo, Fein tools, Makita saws, and Hitachi saws.
    I fill in the gaps with 12V Milwaukee tools and Bosch 18V tools.
    As an honorable mention, I still have some 30 year old Craftsman shop floor model tools that I still use from time to time.

    1. @promo130 I own Mafell MT55c , 2 festools mentioned before, WTF I even own an Elmo (Altendorf) and a CNC from SCM … that is why I know exactly what I am talking about … And yes even Ryobi has surprised me more times and sorry I dont own them myself but I do recommend them to non-professionals who want good AND cheap and want some bang for their money …. and I am pretty sure the only clown that needs to go back to his circus is YOU … they have probable reported you already as the FREAK that went missing!!! LOL

    2. @promo130 you are the clown adn a FOOLish one too? Like I said I own only 2 tools from festool that have ‘impressed’ me so far … all the other brands have impressed me more times over their years … your opinion does not show any reality to it … and you are just making it personal (therefore, YOU are the foolish clown in this, NO one else!!! oh yeah and a wanker and loser too) But AGAIN you have no opinion based in any reality that you showed for … probably you are just a believer of the hype and the marketing ….now please go on wanking somehwere else!!!!

    3. @promo130 You poor sad bow legged wessel riding freak bastard it must be sad to be you.
      You poor whiny small minded troll.

  463. My list ranks depending on the specific tool. I have examples from all the brands, but mostly my Milwaukee cordless tools sit in Dewalt tough system boxes. My saws are hitachi, and my concrete tools are Bosch.

    1. You’d be surprised how useful that freakin thing is because hot water on demand is a beautiful thing. I use it to heat water for my ramen on site and once I used the water to soften up vinyl tubing for a job

  464. You keep upping your game in front of the camera brother. Dewalt was my first love also. But, Milwaukee stole my heart in the end. Kobalt 24v is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite as they continue to add and improve their lineup.

  465. makitas biggest battery is 5ah so they need the 2 batteries to be even close to the run time of the 12ah’s makita def doesnt deserve to be #2

  466. Just thought on Bosch car batteries.
    There manufactured by Interstate Battery in Allentown Pennsylvania and I am a fan.
    Love the Bosch !!!!

  467. I dont blame you for expressing your opinion, yes, your opinion ; that’s all it is. I would like you to rank tool for tool , apple’s to apple’s: Dewalt vs Fes tool, Dewalt vs Milwaukee, Dewalt vs Makita. Bias has no place in objectivity if you expect us subscribers to take you seriously. I am keeping my comments respectful, hopefully your response gives the same consideration. Vince on the other hand would be unbias although he leans towards Milwaukee.

  468. As a DIY mechanic and homeowner. My list is this: Nr1 Milwaukee, 2 Makita, 3 Dewalt 4 Ryobi 5 Bosch. I used to be in the Dewalt lineup. But my brushless drill was wobbling, and Milwaukee had a lot more to offer on the mechanic side. The Dewalt brushless high torque impact was good. But now i have a lot of m18/m12 automotive tools and I love them.

  469. Great video Nick!!! Think you made a very good list. I think I’m pretty close to you…
    1. Milwaukee
    2. Makita
    3. DeWalt
    4. Bosch
    5. Ridgid
    I’d say that the new Kobalt stuff is awesome. They may be moving up the list. Also the new Skil stuff is really impressive. Watch out there lol. Keep up the videos guys…we all appreciate it!!!! #VCGconstruction #VeryCoolGang

  470. Recently I bought a Ridgid 1/2 impact because HD online had it on sale. The feel is awesome and it’s faster than the Milwaukee Mid-Torque I owed.

  471. I started watching this guys a month ago and I can’t stop watching them I learn a lot on tools I’m not a big tool guy but now I wanna get all the tools lol

  472. Id say makita is my #1. The battery is the same size whether its a 3.0 or 6.0. Also if you need more power then double up with 36v

  473. Used to love milwaukee and still do.. have a lot of tools from them. But man, if you hate Ryobi, you’re a fool. Solid tools at a great price. Not professional grade but perfect for DIY

    1. Works for me as a professional I drilled lags into roofs for years with ryobi impacts, my cordless circular saw got dropped off of a roof over 25 feet twice when I did roofing, once by the wind, once by a coworker and still works fine. I work at a blazing pace can run the 100 in 12 seconds and do 20 pullups, i beat the shit out of my tools.

    2. The Ryobi cordless nailers are bitchin. I’ve seen several custom sign trades using them. I have the 18g Brad nailer. Awesome!

  474. 1. Bosch
    2.Milwaukee
    3. Dewalt.
    4. Makita/ Skil
    5. Ryobi or here in Germany we have Einhell

    Greeting from germany

    1. @Leon K. finde ich aber schon die haben gute Produkte im Akku segment , worum es mir hauptsächlich geht

    1. I can see how it was hard to not include Hilti, concrete world, their hammers are best bar none. But other than than that it’s like snap on paying for the service not the tool. Should have got an honerable mention.

  475. Ryobi tools are okay but I just cant get over how they say they have the worlds largest 18 volt battery system BUT there is a catch if you look closely it says worlds largest 18v battery platform with stem style battery pack

  476. Not as much choice in the uk compared to America for tools 😅 havent heard or seen some of these tools. Main tools used by people on tbe books are makita, Milwaukee and dewalt

  477. Ahh, no love for bosch. That freak 2 smoked the 3rd gen m18 in the large lag test. I don’t need speed at my job I need POWER.

    1. @Tyler Smith Oh dang, that’s completely my bad I just scrolled through the red bar too fast. Thanks for calling that out.

  478. All right you freaking insane where does Hilti fit in you didn’t think about the tools are used in war construction sites around the world deprived child

  479. Well you did not make your picks on reliability. I worked as Maintenance mechanic they had DeWalts they never lasted. The supper was hock on them and kept buying them.

  480. Well this is a biased video if I ever seen one. Milwaukee has a more diverse line of tools than any other brand. Milwaukee #1 Makita#2 Dewalt #3. That’s truth!

  481. Milwaukee is #3😱 c’mon man.
    Should have been #1 if we are talking professional tools here. Oh I forgot your a Dewalt lover😣

    1. I have a dewalt I use exclusively for home jobs, saves getting the Makita in from the van. Last time I used it I noticed the death smell of fish, motor dying, will be getting another Makita for home jobs!

  482. Top 5 powertools IN AMERICA.. But my opinion is that MAFELL, FEIN, METABO , FESTOOL and HILTI are the Real Top 5 in the world…678910 are makita Milwaukee ridgid Bosch and Hitachi. Number 11 is…. Don’t screem… Numba 11 issss as written on your casquette… DEWAAAALLT(only bcz they’ve got a lot of tools!) Normally before (building quality – materials-garanty) you’ve got Duss, Flex, Rothenberger, Eibenstock,Virax, Rems, Mirka, Rokamat, Panasonic, Kress…(specific products) AND THEN dewalt due to technical problems. And for Charpentery I repeat, the best and most expensive tools are MAFELL… SORRY AGAIN

    1. that is actually the list yes … bbut pls dont loose your credits on the Mafell story .. for caprentry they have some superb products yes (saws&routers) .. but they also use a lot from Metabo (all their drills) and actually have the same factory for their tools … Mafell is just a little bit more specific where Metabo is a good Allrounder … so in my eyes the Metabo are the real #1 … Mafell is just not complete enough with only 2 specialties, (saws and routers)!

  483. Makita is number 1 brother. You’re definitely bias brother. Love the Makita 18v subcompact I have them all. I agree Dewalt is number 2.

    1. @fetty guapo Yes they are I have all three brands but Makita is the one that I grab the most when I’m doing my weekend diy stuff.

    1. I’ve had my Dewalt drill overheat. I had to quit using it, I could not hold it without burning my hand, and I could smell something burning (not my hand). My Milwaukee tool automatically cuts out before causes harm to me, the battery and the tool. I’m OK with that.

    2. @Big Red Johnson Hahaha, right. I’m still running Milwaukee tools in house from the 90’s. I know what can last. I am very impressed with the tool companies in today’s age though, and that is really what I think these guys are trying to say. It’s how they keep their sponsors happy. I loved the video, but I am not hell bent about a cordless coffee maker. We all know, tools can have their good and bad days, especially tools like fetty bologna or whatever. Sounds like a rapper anyways….

    3. @David Miller It’s humorous how some of these guys, with hardly any experience in the trades get ruffled, over 45 years of experience here and I would go head to head with any of them.

    1. @Robert Coleman id have to agree they dont make a bad tool line but there battery are complete garage. Im just surprised out of everthing available that it got thrown in the mix lol. I love my dewalt but i do wish i had gone with the Milwaukee with some stuff

    2. Ryobi’s are good, but their batteries discharge very quickly, at least mine did. Never had any problems with my Dewalt though.

  484. I havent finished watching yet and I already feel I need to comment. Milwaukee at number 3 was a major surprise, specially since its one of the favourite brands on the channel. And Ryobi getting the honorable mention right between Milwaukee and Makita had me laughing. Yea Ryobi is under appreciated and you’re right… Ryobi has a tool for just about anything you need done. And lots more than just tools. Plus their stuff is a lot more affordable than the same tool from other brands. Go Ryobi Go!!!

    1. @Edward M I’m from South Africa and our Ryobi is different from what is found in the US and UK, because we have a factory over here that produce them under licence. But yea we do have some really low grade, or the Handyline as its known. However, their Standard and Heavy duty tools are comparable to some of the big brands like Bosch. Some of that are suitable for serious contractor grade but most fall into serious diy/apprentice grade. They also have demolition hammers/breakers, lasers, even a cabinet table saw (where all the other brands only have portable contractor saws).

    2. @Alan Harris Nice, but that at least is a good reason, my best reason would be if I ever had to change a tire, but let’s be honest, I would call my insurance company to send a guy to change it.
      Which is actually kinda cool. I once picked up a bolt in a rear tire, they sent a tow truck, he used his under reach to lift the back of my F-150 into the air and then changed the tire. I was like best jack ever!

    3. @highjix heh. I recently got a 1/2″ Milwaukee impact, just for driving lag bolts into ceiling joists for hanging exercise equipment for women who want to pretend like they’re in Cirque du Soleil.

    4. @Alan Harris yea, when I was saying one of the best brands, I should have said that I could actually afford 🙂
      I don’t make my living with tools, so this is nothing but a hobby for me.
      The biggest part of it talking myself out of buying tools I will probably use once if ever.
      Like that 1 inch impact gun, I have no use for it what so ever, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting it

  485. You could put Nick in front of an orchestra, and they would be able to play anything perfectly😂

    Also, Dewalt for the win!!! Milwaukee would be a close second for the durability, power, innovation, and huge expansive line of their m12 tools. Milwaukee has some rockin hand/mechanics tools as well.

    “If you need to grease your nipples, Milwaukee will grease them right” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fantastic Nick

    1. Not sure which ones we have but in the Air Force some shops use Milwaukee tools and they only last about 10 mins after about a years use. Meanwhile I’m pretty sure my dads still using the same dewalt from before I was born lol

  486. Dewalt was my first tool brand too and since then I’m in love!! Massive fanboy! Tried a few different brands but it hit the same spot light the yellow beasts!

    1. @augcyborg now, they make 18v -> 20v adapters so you can run a 20v max XR battery or even a flexvolt on that old 18v for more runtime

    2. I’m the same my first cordless drill as an apprentice electrician nearly 20 years ago was a 18v dewalt hammer drill was the most powerful drill on any jobsite at the time.. then tried some other brands with different companies and came time to replace all my tools and I went back to dewalt and I’m stoked as with there tools a range of great tools !!

    3. Same here man. My dad the 18 volt drill and chop saw when i was a kid see him go throw tools left and right but that drill and chop saw would just keep kicking ass haha

  487. Your an Idiot, black and decker is number one? Ridgid is two different companies Stupid, and this channel should not let you speak a lot, cause you just show stupidity and ignorance of actual tool use. How much does black and decker pay you?

  488. I used to like ryoby tools there okay for little jobs I have been buying DEWALT tools for work I love my tools my batteries last way much longer and the guys that I work with they use DEWALT so my batteries work on my coworkers tools that’s what I like that’s me ….

  489. Love the videos you do! Personally I love Milwaukee the warranty is awesome!
    Dewalt does make great bits and I use them in my M12/M18 tools.

  490. in my opinion, dewalt is the most affordable. the price is not too expensive and the quality is appropriate. saving on the pocket.

  491. The problem with Ridgid.. is I can’t deal with the Orange Box, can’t even say their name,.. customer service so sucks..

  492. The Milwaukee cordless 7-9 inch grinder is amazing. I borrowed it from a friend once. Plan i buying one because I plan on working in the oilfield next year and I can use this grinder for large pipe whether it be sch40 ,sch80 or all the way up to sch 160.

  493. Dewalt and makita makes some great grinders. I’m a welder I use them for all the time for repairs and prep work.

    1. If u guys thinking about grinders..corded .makita grinders are the best when it comes to reliability for more than 20yrs of beating. U only have to change its brushes.

    2. @Paunger8 Is it good salary there in your opinion?I heard that you have 10.000$ in America and 2500€ in germany.

    1. Shane Porter But I wont get an new drill or any money back when the drill has a bad power weight ratio and when it’s getting really hot

    2. Tyler Smith I have quite a lot Hilti Tools everytime you Start Breaking concrete the red lamp goes on. One of the Hilti drill gets hot really fast the chuck of the other one is unround and the big drill is heavy and has no torque. All my Bosch tools that I have here in Europe are lighter and mir powerful and my oldest Bosch drill is 7 years old and it was used a lot and it was a quarter of the that what the Hilti was but I kind of like their cordless circ saw

    3. @Leon K. Have you ever used their tools? Everything they make is absolutely top quality, and they stand behind their product. 20 year warranty, 2 year wear n tear. I get my tool back in 24 hours if I ever have issue which I haven’t. Their cordless bandsaw is half the price of Milwaukees… Their SDS are better than Bosch bulldog by a long shot. Their lineup is small but as far as quality they are at the top.

    1. @Zylent shhhhh lol I only said it because it’s my platform. I rock dewalt also so I can choose which is better when I need something new
