My old man use to have Atlas copco drills and they were fantastic and Milwaukee bought them over so when his atlas packed in he bought a Milwaukee and it’s done will for all the hard work we’ve done that’s more the reason why I bought into it but I totally agree with what your saying
If anyone buying a Milwaukee grinder and doesn’t know between the 115 and 125. I went 125 because I wanted a bigger disk but in reality should have bought the 115 as it was smaller. My only think I don’t like about my tools is the size and shape of that one

True.
Once you’ve bought into a platform it’s expensive to get a whole kit from another manufacturer, so it has to be x times better than the bare tool you could be getting.
I had Makita 14v for years - since back in the Ni-Cad days, because of weight. Fitting kitchens etc you don’t need the power, and your drill is in your hand all day!
It was a total pain because I wanted to get bare tools to use with my batteries but all the decent ones were 18v.
I’ve only just changed over to 18v 🙄
I’ve never used the Milwaukee cordless stuff. It seemed way overpriced when it launched in the UK but I hear ok things now.
I had Milwaukee drills in the States, rock solid, indestructible, heavy, dumb tools. Designs that hadn’t changed for 20+ years. Hole Hawgs and drywall guns, Magnum drills.
