Balance your Milwaukee M12 batteries!

Wow so Makita is the only one who isn't owned by or own someone else.

IMO the dewalt stuff took a quality dive when Black & Decker bought them.

That was in 1960. In 1992, B&D revived the brand and quickly discontinued their B&D Industrial line, which was a shame. That stuff was bomber. The last few rounds of it switched to the "T handle" shape everyone was ga-ga about, but there was no comparison in the internals.

Milwaukee has been slipping here and there. The ultimate failure is when you manage to foul up the most iconic item that someone would buy, their newest small impact driver. I purchased a brushless back in 13’ and I can’t begin to remember the thousands of fasteners that it’s driven. The rubber diamond texture grip is worn to a polish yet it’ll still drive like new, but it’s on it’s third set of batteries. I’ll take it over the newest.
