Honestly, I'm not a contractor; nor do I work for one.Does anyone even care about quality tools?
I don't make money off of my power-tools, and they get little use.
A man is supposed to have tools. I do. Tons of respect for Milwaukee.
Also DeWalt, Makita, and the other brands with excellent reputations.
I have a handful of Milwaukee tools, and a DeWalt router.
Thing is, if a Mitsubishi Mirage meets a persons needs, it makes no sense to wonder why they haven't bought a Lexus LX600 Ultra Luxury SUV for significantly more money.
I do care about quality tools. Definitely have some.
Thing is, I can't afford a bunch of quality Milwaukee tools.
I can afford a bunch of Ryobi tools that get the job done.
Heck, I bought the NoCry because Ryobi can't make a good cordless electric screwdriver, no matter how often they try.
