They are being more aggressive on pricing to increase their market share.Įdit: I also started getting into some Ryobi tools for things around the house and lighter duty use tools. I think Metabo is the better deal overall. Generally you won't find as good of clearance deals on Milwaukee tools. If you have a Lowes close by, they generally clearance some Metabo tools once a year at least. Nice that the 36v batteries work on all 18v tools. Picked up the 36 volt impact with 2 batteries for $111 on Lowes clearance recently. Also bought this circular saw at around $179 with free battery and charger last year. Since then I bought a 18v drill/impact/one hand recip saw/oscillating tool combo kit on a good sale. I bought 3 cause there was a free battery rebate for each tool purchased at that time as well. Then I found a clearance deal on their 36v hammer drill at Lowes for like $35 each. I got some great clearance deals from Lowes on a cordless framing nailer and a cordless finish nailer. I sold almost all my DeWalt 20v tools and switched to Metabo. They have an international model, but it seems they're still getting their footing with logistics. The only thing that annoys me is that they had a VERY well rated jigsaw at 36v and it wasn't widely carried, now discontinued and out of stock. Metabo HPT goes by several different names worldwide - they're still sorting out their international brand, and corporate has a 'don't mix US and Foreign market batteries' warning on their site - but that may just be because they aren't 100% sure about the processes that everything uses after the shuffle. You won't be able to get a full collection of high-voltage tools and have more variety at the lower voltage. Whatever system you get, make sure their high-end batteries (in this case 36v) can be used in their other tools (18v). If you'd caught the impact driver with 2 batteries & drill with 2 batteries for $111 each when Lowes clearanced them (they May still be out there as of 2 weeks ago) You can sometimes get clearance prices.Ģ) Depends entirely on the buy-in. They don't go on sale that frequently and the only B&M near me that carries them are Lowes. Hitachi and Metabo HPT 18v and now 36v are just plain solid. I just got the Milwaukee from the other deal.not on either platform.
