I've been using Dewalt professionally for about 9 years. They just work reliably for me. Plus, when you've invested in a brand's ecosystem and tools like Dewalt's, it’s tough to switch to something else.
Right there with ya! I've rarely had issues compared to what I've seen from Milwaukee.
As a hobbyist woodworker, I started with Dewalt because my dad always used it. I'm really satisfied with their tools, and I think the differences between Dewalt and Milwaukee aren't significant for my needs. I do appreciate Milwaukee's M12 lineup, but I just prefer Dewalt's ergonomics.
I totally get that! Family habits really shape our tool choices. Dewalt feels more comfortable for what we do.
I find Dewalt tools to be more affordable than Milwaukee, especially for the quality they provide. Since I don't need anything too specialized for my DIY projects, it makes sense to save a bit while still getting reliable tools.
Right? I just find it easier to justify spending less on Dewalt for the kinds of projects I typically take on.
Totally agree! I also think both brands can be a bit overkill for casual use, but Dewalt gives me similar quality for less cash.

Exactly! Once you're in, you're in. And Dewalt really does have solid miter saws.
