I can’t resist bright orange plastic.

    Teal is my favorite color and yet I own no Makita. I’m very agnostic otherwise. Have things in all the other “houses” plus Harbor Freight brands and Kobalt.

    Cheap > breaks > upgrade is my motto

      I am sticking to one house to limit how many batteries and chargers I need to worry about. Ryobi has had the same battery format for like 20 years, so I’m less worried about obsolescence.

      Here’s the thing. There’s more to good tools than breaking less. They also work better. Stronger motor. Smoother action. Longer battery life. Less stripping.

      Dropping $300 on the makita impact driver kit is worth it. And I intend to do it.
