      I like my dewalt, have a shelf full of their tools, but I also have a shelf of dead batteries. They poop out so fast. I always forget to go drop them off for warranty replacement, by the time I remember they're out of date. I have Milwaukee batteries that are 5+ years old and still work fine

    I am not an hvac guy, but I still get to cut sheet metal often enough to need some sort of a "power" tool for it. So I got myself an attachment that clips onto my power drill and turns it into a metal cutter. Love it.
    I am not 100% faithful to DeWalt, but most of my tools are DeWalt, which also makes it easy to manage batteries and chargers.

    I absolutely hated the cordless tube cutter myself. Just did my first year's schooling and we had the option of using ones in the shop. Gave it a try a couple times and honestly it just felt....awful? I can't even really describe why. It just felt loose and time consuming. Cutting copper with a manual tube cutter is just so insanely fast that the extra comfort imo is worth it.
    And for the tight to reach areas my journeyman gave me a hand-me-down lennox close space tube cutter when he bought another one. One of those small circular ones, absolute dream.
