It depends on what you're doing. Metabo makes the best angle grinders. DeWalt makes the most reliable hand drills. Milwaukee is affordable. Imo best bang for your buck is good used tools. S&K made the best rachet set in the world for a time. Starrett and Mitutoyo stuff used to be practically bulletproof. Most modern brands don't hold a candle to the quality of tools made 40-50 years ago

Milwaukee is affordable?

Compared to which brand?

They were the "still cheap but not horrendous trash" option compared to husky at the local home despot last time I looked, which admittedly was a few years back.

I've been an electrician for a decade and milwaukee has always made great tools and were never "cheap" as long as I've been in the trade
