What’s Your Go-To Tool Brand (and Which Brand You’ll Never Touch Again)?

Hey Pros — time to talk shop.
We all have that one tool or brand we swear by — the one that saves us time, makes the job easier, or just refuses to die.

But on the flip side… we’ve all been burned.



🔧 Let’s Hear It:

  • What’s your go-to tool you’d buy again tomorrow?

  • What brand never lets you down?

  • And be honest — what’s one tool or brand you’ll never buy again (and why)?



✅ Some Tried-and-True Favorites:

  • Stihl BR 800 C-E – “Reliable, powerful, and worth every penny.”

  • Echo SRM-225 – “Low maintenance and runs forever.”

  • Milwaukee M18 Cordless Tools – “Best battery tools I’ve used — holds charge all day.”

  • Honda GCV Engines – “Start up smooth and last longer than anything else I’ve owned.”



❌ Some Regrets We’ve Heard:

  • Ryobi Gas Tools – “Hard starts, poor durability.”

  • Weed Eater brand trimmers – “You’ll spend more time fixing it than using it.”

  • Off-brand backpack blowers – “Look cool online, fall apart in 3 months.”

  • Craftsman Battery Tools – “Good for light home use — not for pro work.”



💡 Why It Matters:

If you’re just starting out, hearing what actually works in the field can save you hundreds. And if you’ve been doing this a while, your feedback helps the whole crew.
