2026 MEME THREAD: Accuracy Coincidental. Taste Questionable. Therapy Recommended.

I own a contracting company so I can justify buying a lot of tools. Almost all Milwaukee, but I did buy one guy several Ryobi items just to see what happened. Three years in and they are still going. Kind of makes you think.

They are both TTI companies. I would expect more function (higher torque from impact drivers, etc) from the Milwaukee since they are targeted towards commercial users, but not more longevity. Similar to the life expectancy of Ford and Lincoln products - targeted to different users but with the same overall useable life expectancy.

I've got two Ryobi tools mixed in with the DeWalt and Milwaukee. Their handheld pressure washer is badass - no pressurized source requirement and it was the most powerful option on the market at the time. Might still be. Great for washing the dirt bikes at the staging areas when we're done riding instead of in my driveway. Wet mud comes off a little easier lol. The other one is a super compact little air compressor that lives under the rear seat for when I don't have my M18 compressor or the Morrflate unit with me. It's great for airing up dirt bike tires or the airbags on the truck (haven't finished my on-board air yet).

Really getting off topic here but I recently started buying some 18v red stuff, starting with the famous M18 compressor. Their 12v line is great. Always been a DeWalt guy, mostly because I was trapped in the ecosystem, but having a bunch of different chargers isn't as big of a deal as I always thought it would be. It dawned on me one day - I have hundreds and hundreds of different fuggin magazines for the firearm collection...I think I can handle a few different chargers 😂

I used company supplied Milwaukee and DeWalt tools for decades.

Couple lesser brand thrown in along the way... Ridgid, Porter Cable, etc.

The 90s were the days of Milwaukee 12v nicd, and a couple different corded drills for heavier stuff. Then De Walt brought out the game changing 18v nicd... and the rest is history.

Then, Milwaukee came out with their 18v nicd batteries, which were reversible, and their stuff was just better thought out, and were all German made at the time. I STILL have a few of those left over that still function with the lithium to nicd adaptors allowing them to run in the new batteries. That era sawzall is the greatest one ever made IMO. Infinitely adjustable AND orbital too! Great for tight spaces. When I started my own company, I chose those... FF to today, and i have an arsenal of M18 tools. From the screw impact gun, all the way up to weed eater and 2 different chainsaws.

In most circumstances, Milwaukee will be the most powerful and toughest out there, but don't expect a lot of finesse. ... they're brutes!

For fine control and precision work I'd go with Makita.

Dewalt as usual is somewhere in the middle. A good compromise.

I run one color for simplicity. That color is red.

i figured they'd be the last to get picked up to use, so they SHOULD last longer

I've done that drive, I can't think of any reason he'd be out there but, I do like the food at Tortilla Flat.

I had a boat on Apache Lake for a few years. I saw all kinds of crash sh!t coming down that road...... I'm not even sure how that guy cleared some of the overhangs coming down Fish Creek..... I thought it was all AI crap at first but now believe it to be true.....
