I think many time we get married to a brand due to the battery system.

Yep - I have Bosch tools for this reason. I won a 4 piece set in a raffle and that led to me adding more as time went on.

I have a bunch of Ryobi tools for that reason. Not great tools but good enough for my needs. And the batteries are all the same.

Well, I have honestly been impressed with these. I have used the trimmer to trim my pasture fence. The line trimmer is every bit as powerful as the gas ones I have owned. The push mower does everything I need it to, including mowing the goat pen when it gets too tall.

I have a bunch of Ryobi tools as well. I would not speak as highly of them. I find they do fine for what I need them for, and they are inexpensive. They are not workhorses though.

can't argue about the battery thing, but I will say milwaukee decimates ALL.

 

[KLB]

I have two cordless tools that are not Ryobi, a framing nailer and a 9ga stapler, both Dewalt. They are pretty awesome.

I have dozens of Ryobi 18+ tools and just bought a 40v mower this year. Should I ever buy a snow blower it will be the Ryobi 40v.

I have ryobi circular saw, drill and sawzall, we're T's dad's, must be bad batteries because the saws won't cut a single 2x12 without shutting off, haven't use the drill much. the required two handed operation of the sawzall is terrible, one hand to push off the safety and the other to control the tool. used my milwaukee 16ga. nailer to redo our basement with barnwood walls, bet i put in 1500 nails, still had 50% battery

I've had good luck with DeWalt electric chain saw and leaf blower.

Milwaukee for the cordless drill.

Just got my Covid shot. Set the appointment for the follow up 2nd injection a few weeks from now.

I was given the Moderna vaccination. My shoulder is a bit sore but that is pretty much expected.

 

[tv1217]

All my power tools are Milwaukee except one outlier is a Skil impact driver, which I'm giving to my dad because I bought a smaller M12 drill that came with an impact driver.

Jedi's snow event is weaksauce.

Jedi's snow event is weaksauce.

I think its more of a non-event for those of us who do not live in thug land.

Hobart has an eLearning day tomorrow because of Jedi's threat.

More like, because society has turned into a bunch of wusses.

Maybe it's because I was quite a bit shorter but I seem to remember a lot more snow when I was a kid, also more cold. But it took a blizzard to shut school down.

I remember the blizzard of '67. We had to tunnel out the front door in our little house in Dyer. My dad had to ditch his car after work, and walk for miles to get home. That was an adventure for a little 7 year old kid.

Chicago, IL Seasonal Snowfall Totals from 1884 to present!

Varies by year but a quick view looks like the 60s/70s had more snow then recent years.

But it also is that our memories of childhood are schewed as well.
