I can’t resist bright orange plastic.

      Same! I have a ton of harbor freight and Ryobi tools that work great. I’ve replaced a few over the years with fancier versions as they wear or break.

          Teal is my favorite color and yet I own no Makita. I’m very agnostic otherwise. Have things in all the other “houses” plus Harbor Freight brands and Kobalt.

          Cheap > breaks > upgrade is my motto

            Here’s the thing. There’s more to good tools than breaking less. They also work better. Stronger motor. Smoother action. Longer battery life. Less stripping.

            Dropping $300 on the makita impact driver kit is worth it. And I intend to do it.
