I've had dewalt, Panasonic and hilti over the years but now on to makita 18v as they make a tool for just about everything you want to do.

I just remember the days of Yankee screwdrivers and I wouldn't want to go back to using one but then again most things were nailed together.

Aldi and Lidl sell some pretty decent tools for the diy enthusiast , my tools are in use 6-7 days a week so it pays to spend a bit more for tools that are going to last.

Aldi and lidl are ok for some things but rubbish for other things. Im a complete tool freak. Have 2 very well stocked large sheds with workbenches. Would never borrow a tool for a job, car or house diy, always just went and bought what was needed.

Dewalt, snapon, Halfords, Stanley, specialist you name it I’ve used it, it’s not necessarily the tools themselves but knowing the material properties of the tools and the given applications that establish longevity of the tools

Used to be the best of the best but a lot of it is overpriced shit now because it's made by others then snap on stick their name on it and stick another zero on the price .

Good! I lived rurally in the Highlands for a decade, mostly off grid. I need to escape the city more.
