Yes, I started with DeWalt and used them for many years.. tough as hell. Then some wore out and some got stolen so I replaced them with Ridgid, big mistake. I sold that Ridgid crap at a loss pretty quick and bought Milwaukee. The Milwaukee stuff is actually pretty good, but there's a few cordless tools I'd like to have that Milwaukee doesn't make, like the cords less rotozip. So now I'm springing for Dewalt again.. it really is good stuff. I bought the brushless, which is crazy expensive. If you make a living with these tools, buy DeWalt... if not, settle for Milwaukee IMHO
