Who's tools do you guys use?

Personally, I'm a fan of Bosch Tools. We haven't brought any other brand of power tool in the last 2 years, save for a Makita Inspection Scope i got from HD last week to use while our Bosch Scope is shipped to us lol.

We have a few Hitachi tools, but they're all slowly getting replaced with Bosch as they wear out.

I have to say the Bosch Cordless Impactor is one of my favorite. Those things are built damn-near indestructible. I've dropped one from the top of a 20' scaffold tower, onto the pavers and then into a 6' deep pool. Dried it out for a couple days and its still driving screws to this day.

Where are you from, and welcome to CT. This is a very loaded question, I'm going to tell you that right now. Tools are like women, what works for one man may be too expensive, ugly, fat, stupid or lazy, for another.

No one company makes the best of everything.

Chicago Electric?

Tools that I've made myself, like this hitch for my material lift.

Cordless goes to makita. Corded I like Bosch but have a few dewalt tools I really like too (table saw, miter saw, tile saw). Lately it seems that I try not to add any more blue to my collection but they're always close to the top.

 

[duburban]

I'll be the one... uh Festool?!

Festool, makita, dewalt, bostitch, paslode, ridgid, bosch. Got a bit of everything from all different brands, not sold on one brand in particular, I typically look at all my options when buying something, look at reviews whatever comes out on top is what I get. Personal favorite is festool.

Corded - I tend to go with Hitachi, a decent product at relatively low price. I do have a bunch of older craftsman stuff I've picked up at yardsales as well.

Cordless - Bosch

Handtools - I've got a bit of everything

Raimondi and Sigma:thumbsup:

It seems though that more and more of the tools I use Daily to make money are DeWalt. They are not my "favorite" in that I spend time playing with them and making cool mods, designing efficient cutting tables and storage shelves for my collection of cases, but without really liking DW, I seem to use a lot of them.

 

[john5mt]

If money were no object (which lets be honest, money is the whole object here)

FESTOOL! :thumbup:

Frank H. Clement, or Bentel.

I agree with most, not one company can fill all my tool needs. When I first started a few decades ago all I wanted to do is have all my tools be black and yellow. At the time in my region everyone thought they were the best! Now after using many different brands I feel I need a little bit of them all in my arsonal.

 

[brunothedog]

by far Hilti, only for their service that NO ONE else comes close,
My Core drilling machine took a dump half way through, a phone call and 20 minutes later a rep came down, took my DD 130 for service, and left my with a DD 160, and bit to finish.
same thing with their rotary hammer, I plugged it into the wrong outlet, fried it, called them,
they came down with an extra, and brought in for service the broken one,
When i need something, a blade, an angle grinder, etc.. all i do is call, and they come to the job.
They cost, and are decent tools, but the service is what throws them into another dimension

Where did you get the Makita inspection scope?

I started with cordless Dewalts, then bought hilti, rigid and makita...now I'm back to DeWalt.

Is there anything Raimondi you don't own now?

 

[Brian Peters]

If you read his post...he says HD

 

[Brian Peters]

I've got mostly Bosch for my power tools, corded and cordless both, but I stepped on the Festool slope and am sliding slowly down...

 

[dkillianjr]

I think he must mean Milwaukee. I don't think there is a Makita one out, maybe just in the UK if there is.

Dewalt for cordless stuff and mostly Bosch for corded. Just ended up that way. One day I looked in my trailer and realized I had a bunch of Bosch stuff. Didn't plan it that way.
