How Milwaukee compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Milwaukee.
Milwaukee vs DeWalt
The other half of the cordless duopoly on British sites. FlexVolt, which runs higher-draw tools off the same battery family, is the specific reason a lot of trades picked this side.
Milwaukee vs Makita
One of the two cordless platforms most British trades have already committed to, and battery platform lock-in is the real story in power tools - once a van is full of LXT batteries, the next tool is usually a Makita too.
Milwaukee vs Bosch Professional
Bosch Professional is the trade-blue line aimed at builders and installers who want dependable, widely serviced tools rather than the newest feature set. Its corded SDS-plus hammers remain a site-hire staple alongside its growing 18V Biturbo/ProCORE cordless range.
