I've been using a mix of Ridgid and Ego tools, but I'm experiencing a lot of battery failures with my Ego equipment. I'm looking to switch brands before I potentially spend another $500 on batteries that might fail. I've heard good things about Milwaukee tools, and I'm specifically interested in getting a lawn mower, blower, weed whacker, and a small electric chainsaw. My spouse is on board with this purchase, but she mentioned that Labor Day sales might be coming up. Does anyone know if it's worth waiting for the sales to get these tools, and do you have any other advice for me?

I’ve switched from Team Green to Milwaukee and couldn't be happier! The M12 line is highly underrated, especially the M12 Fuel impact driver, which I consider one of the best tools out there. For outdoor power, though, I went for Ryobi’s 40v lineup, which is powerful and very reasonably priced. Just a heads-up, Milwaukee tools tend to be pricier, but they’re great if you want to match them with the M18 dual battery setup. I have the Ryobi mower and string trimmer and they work like a charm!
Thanks for sharing! I’m worried about the 12V tools since I need them for outdoor work. I meant to say I have Ridgid tools and they’ve been solid, but Ego's been a letdown. How are the batteries holding up for you?
