    I mean, you can’t really measure the brand overall like i think you’re talking about.

    Cause every brands gonna have great tools, mediocre tools, and bad tools. Though I think we can universally agree dewalt is overpriced and exploitative lol.

    I believe you can buy batter adapters that let you run, say, Milwaukee off Dewalt batteries. Most of them are just direct metal adapters, no circuitry or anything. You could even 3d print and make your own if you were inclined.

    So if you are deep in one battery ecosystem, you should be able to still run a tool of another brand… as long as you are matching voltages (don’t run a 18-20v tool off a 40v battery, for instance)
