Genuine question, is there some reason you can mix and match tools?

[–] sunstoned@lemmus.org 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

assuming you mean *can't

if cordless: batteries

else: brand cuckery

Power tool batteries are expensive and are not interchangeable between brands (without 3rd party adapters that can be a bit risky). I only own DeWalt power tools because I want one set of batteries and chargers.

I have no brand loyalty to hand tools, however. Well, except for Knipex. My pliers-wrench has been life changing.
