I'm trying to expand my battery-powered tool collection, focusing on woodworking. I currently have an M12 drill and impact, and I'm looking into switching over to the M18 lineup, which I've heard great things about. However, I've come across some opinions suggesting that Milwaukee's saws might not be the best choice for woodworking tasks. Some folks recommend going with DeWalt instead. What do you think? Should I stick with Milwaukee for saws while continuing to grow my M12/M18 collection, or should I consider other brands for my woodworking needs?

It really comes down to what you consider woodworking. I use an M18 Fuel circular saw, a 7-1/4” miter saw, a table saw, and a barrel grip jigsaw from the M12 lineup, and I've had no issues with any of them. If you're not looking to create intricate cabinetry or detailed furniture, these tools should work just fine for projects like tables and outdoor furniture. Just figure out the level of precision you need for your projects.
That makes sense! I'm not diving into anything too fancy, just basic furniture to start. Good to know I might not need to switch brands right away!
