Your brand of household tools / lawn equipment?

[Nebulous]

So what brand do you like for your household tools and lawn care equipment?
Most people like to stick to one brand so you can use the batteries interchangeably.

I am really digging the Milwaukee brand. I currently have a couple Milwaukee drills, blower and weed eater. They all are pretty good quality and have some power to them.

I have these guys:

Not my bag.
But; Jim has some Milwaukee brand power tools, one I think is a Sawzall that's been in use for many years. I think it's a well-respected brand among "tool guys". Most of his shared charger tools are DeWalt.

For lawn equipment, the tractor mower is a White, the weed whacker is Menard's store brand (it's green, I don't know what name is on it), and the pressure washer is whatever it is from a yard sale. Oh, yeah, the snow plow is Craftsman. And the chainsaw is the farm store across the highway's brand, I think it was made by Poulan, but I'm not sure.

Power tools? Black and Decker, Craftsman, Dewalt, whatever that thing is in the tool bag in the truck. And I think the old circular saw says Montgomery Ward on it. The only battery powered hand tools I have is a couple of B and D drills that are slowly aging out and they stopped making the batteries for them to force us to buy a new drill.

Mostly (for the garden) either True Temper or True Value
For lawncare, a push mower made by Craftsman and a riding mower made by John Deere

Yeah I decided to go with Milwaukee at home because maintenance pro's I know say its one of the best brands out there.

I have a Honda brand mower. Its self propelled and has a bagger. I like it except when my lawn is over 2 or 3 inches high, I have to stop every couple minutes to empty the bag. If I stay on top of mowing my lawn then I can get the entire lawn without having to stop and empty the bagger.

That problem MAY not be due to an inferior tool.

Honda mower; Milwaukee power tools or DeWalt and then a random Craftsman here and there

I use Hyper Tough from Wal-Mart for all of my mower and weed eating needs.

Oh yeah; A Husqvarna riding mower which is kinda mediocre I'd say; a Kobalt (Lowe's brand) electric walk-behind mower which has actually been pretty good; and a Cub Cadet riding snow blower that used to be dual-purpose (lawn mower/sno blower), but he just leaves the snow blower attachment on it year-round now.

Do you like how that brand performs?

Any "Hyper Tough" stuff I have bought have been cheap and breaks.

The blade on my lawnmower dulls up easily. 🙁

I guess when it comes to tools I have no real brand loyalty, lol. I have all kinds of brands...and and iFixIt kit.
