I wasn't leaning towards any brand tbh, I just wanted a decent dual setup and my neighbour works for an indepent tool specialist and this was the best offer they had on staff pricing.
Depending on what you use now, it is incredible how much these things have moved on. I went from a 2005 era DeWalt to a 2020 Milwaukee setup and it was shameful what I had been putting up with!

Dunno. I have still got some really old power tools and they are still very good. There are some, though, that have really moved on. Like circular saws for example. I only use them for cutting down large boards but that used to be a painful task until I picked up a new one with a track saw compatible base. Sheesh, what a time saver!
Milwaukee are certainly very good. I used to have one of their SDS drills, until it finally fell apart a few years ago, and a plane. I seem to remember I sold the plane on ebay. It was as old as the hills but still going strong. I did have one of their SDS drills but that ended in catastrophic failure!!

Yeah I was talking drills specifically but I recently binned a 20 year old circ saw as it was never going to be used again now I've got a brushless Milwaukee. And a Worx multi tool, altho that was seized up.

My previous was a Worx H3, I've still got it but I'm not sure how it compares to the Dewalt - I can't find a torque figure for it but the Dewalt impact driver goes up to 190nm :D

New light for my w/c. The old light was so dark looked like the "no spray no lay" man was gonna jump out the cupboard like a club toilet.

Ive since levelled out the shade!
