Best praise vs top criticism for Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/4" Hex Impact Driver (2953-20)
“I’d be torn if I had to choose from Makita and Metabo. But Ryobi has a much bigger range of stuff, and Home Depot puts Ryobi stuff on heavy discounts from time to time in the clearance section. For an apartment or other small home like I have, Ryobi is perfect. Then I have Milwaukee Fuel for work. Plus Ryobi is more plentiful to buy in the used market for super cheap on marketplace if needed. I’ve added to my Ryobi kit for pennies…nickels/dimes…on the dollar. It’s been a great platform if I need certain things and don’t want to spend Milwaukee money on them for just occasional home use.”
