The company I worked for before had 1 set of those same exact tools except that the drill didn't work anymore (and they also had a milwaukee radio that charged batteries).
They even offered to give me the drill to see if I could fix it but I didn't know what to do. :P
I still think the dewalt is more durable.
edit: Oh, that's a 28volt. :O
The drill could have been about 5 years old or more...
Anyway the drill was just 1 of the tools in that set that broke so the rest were fine and they got their use out of it, plus they had plenty of other tools to use.
Oh, I thought you were referring to a V28...
I have no problem with DeWalt, I have a couple of their drills, as well as two DeWalt radial-arm saws, which are the standard of that genre.
I have a variety of brands, tool-wise; have to grab what you can, when you can, unless you're bucks-up. :)
My dad says he doesn't like dewalt because they used to be Black and Decker, is that true? :blink:
Our drill is a makita, works fine but I'd like a cordless one (will probably get a dewalt cordless one some day). :idunno:
black and decker owns dewalt. doesn't mean that dewalt is any lower quality, but it does mean that some of B&D's stuff is based off of dewalt stuff, so if you do your homework, sometimes you can find B&D tools that are basicly rebranded dewalt tools but at B&D prices. the only example that I know that this is true for is one of B&D's cordless drills, not sure exactly which one, gonna have to find that artical in tools of the trade
Dewalt is in my opinion the best company out there- maybe not the best in every catigory, but pretty good everywhere, with many tools that are the best by far. both my dad's and my trucks have a lot of yellow tools in them.
and if you think milwaukee 28 volt is cool, dewalt has a 36 volt lithium-ion line out. the batterys are the same weight as the dewalt 18volt.
as for Lithium Ion, Makita and bosch have 18 volt lines out, bosch has a 10.8 volt cordless screwdriver, rigid makes a 24 volt line, as well as the aformentioned milwaukee 28 volt and dewalt 36 volt lines.
I am looking to get a cordless 18volt impact driver and drill soon- probably dewalt, Makita lithium-ion, or panasonic with the 3.5 amp hour batterys.
