It’s the battery system that locks you in. I have mostly DeWilt cordless tools and they are totally fine for a home jobber that I am. I do also own some Milwaukee and some Makita.
If I were to re-buy all my cordless tools, maybe I’d go with Makita, but there are some Milwaukee tools I do like as well.
Even so, these tools are not as different from each other as they used to be. DeWalt/Milwaukee/Ryobi and others have been bought out by VCCs and are made in the same factories now.
Lately I look at Festool products b/c I see my youtoobers using them. I fear they are too costly for the likes of a home user like me.
I believe this is a part of what a dog does to help teach us about life. Giving us joy and companionship while also teaching us about grief and loss in the end.
You’ve nailed it. The Dell consumer grade hardware is hot garbage. The business line is rock solid and when it isn’t, parts are usually plentiful. HP is a lesser quality product in general, but the same levels apply.
People bring up the Thinkpads. They are very good as the older units go, but I’ve not owned the newer ones. I’ve heard they’ve not maintained the same quality.
If Dell is a Corolla, then HP is a Pontiac Aztec and the older Thinkpad is a Lexus. Or something.
