My husband's are green...
They all do the job for the most part. I had a helper that ran ryobi. He always borrowed my tools lol. That said, most of the time his worked fine.
 
This little sinularia is growing from where the original colony was mounted before it moved behind the rock work ( I didn’t know they could do that). The second is the original colony before it moved. Life will find a way.

They're now I'm finally caught up. How's everyone doing?
Im doing pretty good Amanda! How are the horsies doing? Is the new one settling in nicely?
 
I cant get in on this. I use a lot of air powered tools like drills, drivers, etc. when highly repetitive work is taking place on my projects. I do have some Ryobi drill and drivers, but don't use them much.
I use egg pans...
To be fair to all I have red, yellow, green and blue handled on them. I think I win! 🤩
 
My big thing, is it have probably close to 1000 pounds of materials and tools in my truck. Having to carry different chargers, and batteries would just be incredibly cumbersome, and as right now, if my battery dies for my wire crimper, my impact or drill likely has a chargered battery within arms reach. That and my Milwaukee has treated me really well. The Red vs Yellow debate, in my mind, is more of a joke anyway. They both make good tools
And they both make bad tools.
 
Im not super against Dewalt, i bought a Dewalt miter saw, but as far as tools go, Milwaukee has such better tool options for Electricians, plumbers/hvac etc
Saw-Milwaukee.
Drill-Makita.
Sander-Dewalt.
Hand tools-Snap-On.
Hammer-Plumb.
Lawnmower-Craftsman.
Beer-Corona ;)
 
And they both make bad tools.
Who do you run? If you say hilti I will let you know i have used their impact and the plumber was upset when I gave it back for my milwaukee lol

To be fair I break more stuff than I fix, easily breaking anything with any tool so it doesn't really matter what color it is they all break stuff the same.
