I'm curious about your thoughts on DeWalt, especially regarding the 20/60V battery platform. Are there specific tools from other brands that you wish DeWalt offered, or tools that make you think about using a second battery lineup?

The 12V line from Red tools is pretty impressive. DeWalt seems to have lost their edge in that category. I'd really love to see them improve their offerings, especially for items like a quality soldering gun.
A big draw for me is definitely the nail guns. It gets annoying that DeWalt doesn't have a decent rafter hook for their reciprocating saws either. It's frustrating to see that they haven't figured that out yet.
Have you checked out Althook? They've got some solid options, especially if you're in Canada.
Ryobi has some great nail guns that really tempt me to switch things up. Honestly, I've been mixing brands for a while and I don’t find it a hassle at all. I've got a variety of tools now and I just go with what fits my needs best without restricting myself to one platform.
I hear you—what about the lack of orbital mode on their tools?
