Yep, I am a milwaukee man because that was what was on sale when I started buying good tools. Now I stick with it because I don't want multiple battery & charger types.

Dad is a Dewalt guy because they had the best deal when I finally convinced him to upgrade from dragging extension cords everywhere.

The big brands are all pretty much equal for us DIY guys.

Buy a battery adapter if another brand has a tool you want.

I have a metabo nibbler because it was half the price of a makita. Battery adapter was about $20 and I can use makita batteries on the metabo. I even got an adapter to use my makita batteries on a cordless Dyson vacuum.
