A friend worked for a fish farm, they used Ryobi for everything because they were cheap and were only going to get ruined when they got dropped into the fish tank. Most of the big brands are owned by 2 or 3 companies. The company that owns Milwaukee also owns Rigid and Ryobi for instance. Stanley Black and Decker also owns Dewalt and Porter Cable and Craftsman. I don't think that there is really all that much difference between the brands.
One of the reasons I bought Makita is that they are self owned, not a zombie brand... -Curt On Friday, December 3, 2021, 01:27:16 AM EST, Rick Knoble via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: I watch this guy on YouTube.

The (just finished) carport project involved 600 self-drilling screws. Possible with a drill but only with considerable pressure. Stepson's Makita drill-driver was the cat's meow for these. -----Original Message----- From: Of Curt Raymond Sent: Thursday, December 2, 2021 1:47 PM The small impact is waaaay better for driving screws than a drill, especially for Phillips head.I use mine a lot for light mechanicing too. Especially switching Dad's lawn tractor from mower to snowblower. It's got a spring assist on the lift and dialing the tension on the spring takes forever with a wrench, it's easy peasy with that little impact. -Curt ... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
