I have to say...I owned a complete Milwaukee set once. Batteries were pathetic. After the second set completely failed, I gave all the tools to my buddy. It was either that or throw them away. Not that Dewalt is a shining star, but I have had much better luck with my Dewalt set beyond a doubt. I bought a Ridgid set once as well...."Lifetime Battery Warranty".....until you redeem the warranty ONCE. Then, they are done. Their "Lifetime" is one lifetime of your original batteries...then you are done. I can fully charge my Dewalt batteries and leave them on my bench and when I come to use them a month later they are good to go. My Ridgid batteries will be stone dead within a week.
