As a long time Craftman power tool owner, it time to upgrade my Cordless Craftman power tool.
Many of my present cordless Craftman power tools drills and saws are still working but less power and battery live is poor.
I'm liking to buy a complete combo set 5 to 6 tools (the same brand).
Looking of power, battery life and quality built.

What brands of cordless power tool do you own, use or recomend?

On recommendations from here (namely salto, I think) I went with the Milwaukee M18 series and I have no complaints.

I got the Dewalt combo box with drill and impact driver and they helped me fix up my deck. No complaints.

Dewalt 20V Max Drill and Impact Driver are my cordless. Anything corded (circular saw, reciprocating saw etc.. are Milwaukee. Nothing to back this up I just find Milwaukee does heavy tools better than anybody but cordless isn't as great.

Dewalt or Milwaukee.
Despite what each side claims, neither are superior to the other. It's a Chevy and Ford thing. Each side swears they're better, but.. yeah. I have both. Both make stuff that have lasted a long time and both have made stuff that died way too prematurely. Buy either with confidence.

At your age, any cheap Chinese knock off should last you the rest of your life.

This is true. Doesn't Akron have a Harbor Freight?
