    This is missing at least Bosch, probably some other brands I can’t remember right now. That would ruin the 4 houses association though…

      I’m in House Ryobi; while it does the job, I needed to borrow a tool I didn’t have from our neighbour (wife’s rule; I can only buy one if I need to borrow it 3 times)… he had a set of Bosch Professionals - holy moly, those things are on a whole other level!

        S Tier:

        • Milwaukee
        • Bosch
        • Makita

        A Tier:

        • DeWalt
        • Porter Cable

        B Tier:

        • Ryobi
        • Rigid

        C Tier:

        • Black & Decker
        • Craftsman
        • Master craft
        • Skil
        • Other store brands

        All of them will get you a passing grade, C Tier feels a little flimsy like it might let you down, B Tier works perfectly fine and feels normal, A Tier feels like it could take one extra hard drop, and S Tier is noticeably rock solid and nice in every way.

        Atleast, this is ballpark what I remember from when I was contracting…

        My wife has had the same rule, then we moved, now I’m the lender, not the borrower. This means I have an excuse for buying new tools. That and my current job and side jobs are requiring some specific tools that I don’t already own.
