Best wireless power tool brand?

It depends how much you want to spend, but I'd say Festool and Hilti, then Makita. In other words, German

The name-brand cordless drills I've owned are DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, Black&Decker. The Makita was excellent in nearly every way, the Ryobi crap in nearly every way. The DeWalt had cheap bearings; the bit was wobbly after a short time and got bad enough to throw out the drill. I had a heavy duty corded DeWalt drill that had the same poor bearing quality. The B&D was horrible but cost nothing.

Festools and Hiltis are incredible but insanely expensive, forget about them. Makitas are pretty reasonable and higher quality than the DeWalts and Milwaukees IMO.

I had a Makita chainsaw, and experienced sawyers who borrowed it said it was the best saw that size they had ever handled.

Hilti's 10" concrete saw is a thing of beauty.

Makita be cause I can't afford a Hilti

I used to have a bunch of Ryobi One + tools, but the batteries wore out.

I'm starting to buy Porter Cable system as needed. Already have drill and small circular saw.
