It’s no surprise to see the top Pro brands voted on frequently. It’s a premium brand with a more affordable price point that’s very deep in saw design and has a massive range of cordless tools that Festool can’t come close to. From the fantastic ergonomics of its sanders to the legendary Kapex miter saw, innovative Domino, and purpose-built CT dust extractors, it’s a brand hyper-focused on high quality. If price is no object, Festool is what most serious woodworkers want to use. Mafell (2), Ridgid (2), DeWalt (1), Metabo HPT (1), Milwaukee (1), Tool Shop (1) Jet finished with just 3% while 17% cast their votes for other brands. Makita made a very strong showing with 28% and Bosch earned a respectable 12%. Of the 775 votes in the woodworking category, exactly zero of us at Pro Tool Reviews thought that Festool would be anywhere but the top. While we can address that in the next voting session, it’s clear that they maintain a very high (and well-deserved) reputation in the industry. The argument here is how Ingersoll Rand would have done as one of the main four choices instead of being a write-in. That’s deserved considering they’re the exact same high-quality nailers and compressors as before-it was literally just a name change. With its brand loyalty, we weren’t surprised to see DeWalt in the lead for pneumatics and Metabo HPT is clearly still doing well despite the rebranding from Hitachi.

Metabo HPT (formerly Hitachi) earned 20% of the votes, Senco pulled in 12%, and Ridgid got 11%. Turning to air power, DeWalt takes home the prize with 26% of the 609 votes we received. Who Makes the Best Pneumatic Tools? DeWalt They’re responsible for manufacturing EGO, Flex, Skil, and Kobalt and each of those brands is certainly a quality choice in their respective classes. We also saw the first vote for a brand group: Chervon. You’ll find Milwaukee tools designed to provide a solution that its closest competitors don’t offer.įlex can once again take it as a positive that it led the write-in vote. One thing that set Milwaukee apart from the other two is its focus on trade-specific tools in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP). DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee are unofficially known as the Big 3 in the power tool industry, and it has a lot to do with the incredible breadth of cordless tools each brand offers. Statistically, it was odd to see Milwaukee have the exact same percentage of the votes as the previous category despite 600 fewer total votes. A total of 8% went to other brands and here’s how the write-ins voted:įlex (4), Bosch (2), Craftsman (2), Metabo HPT (2), Chervon (1), HART (1), Metabo (1), Ryobi (1) DeWalt gained slightly from the previous category with 19% of the vote, Makita earned 16%, and Hilti registered 3%.

Who Makes the Best Cordless Power Tools? Milwaukee ToolĪsking specifically about cordless tools, Milwaukee once again took home the top position with 53% of the 1100 votes cast. As it continues to gain market share with its impressive performance and thoughtful innovations, its price point typically makes it a very compelling option. In the write-in votes, Flex should draw some encouragement from leading several well-known and popular brands. If the comments on our website, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube channels are any indication, the reality is that they’re much closer competitors.


It’s no surprise to see Milwaukee in the lead, though the gap between it and DeWalt is much larger than we expected. Note: the number in parenthesis is the total number of votes for that brand. Here are how the votes in the comments shook out:įlex (6), Metabo (3), Metabo HPT (3), Hilti (2), Ridgid (2), Craftsman (1), Fein (1), Klein (1), Kobalt (1), Ryobi (1), Worx (1) DeWalt was a distant second at 18% with Makita right on its heels at 17%. With 1700 total votes, Milwaukee finished with a dominating lead over every other brand, earning 53% of the vote.
