    My dad gifted me a Dewalt Impact for Father’s day one year and I’ve been unintentionally stuck in that ecosystem since.

        Weird, I always thought that Gillette used the Selective Service registration in figuring out who to reach

        Also, could the power tool companies afford to give power tools away like that? A razor is one thing but a cordless drill?

          That drill needs batteries before long and needs to have an assortment of bits to use with it, those companies often sell all the bits or own the company that does

      Dewalt has the juice to get it done but lacking g in specialty tools and their tough system sucks compared to Milwaukee. Coming from a guy with several grand of dewalt. Kind of wish I went Milwaukee but I’m in too deep…

        They’re getting better on specialty tools the last year or 2.

        The 12 volt line has expanded as well. I Didn’t need the 12v drill driver combo but wanted the 12v rachet they had as a free tool ona sale.

        I rarely grab the 20v drill or driver unless the 12 just can’t get it done.

        The tough system stuff is finally starting to catch up a bit. I will admit it pisses me off to no end that so many items that come in clam shell cases aren’t compatible or the tough system boxes could be designed with those items in mind as well.

        Milwaukee is still winning that one but I couldn’t justify the price.
