I am a young guy, trying to get some info on cordless tools. I currently own a couple older Milwaukee and Dewalt cordless tools (impact, hammer, and saws) and am ready to buy a new crop of tools. What I am wondering is if anyone has a graph or some numbers as to how many tools Dewalt and Milwaukee carry in their cordless lines? I know Milwaukee probably has more m18 than Dewalt 20v max, but I would love to see some numbers to get an understanding on how both lines are growing. I know both make great tools, i am mostly interested in selection of tools.

Does quantity really matter? As long as they make what you need, do you care otherwise? DeWalt makes a ******** that most would never use unless you're in the concrete trade, same goes for an M18 PEX expander, which you'd never use unless you're a plumber.
Pick what's important to you, research those items, buy accordingly.
Milwaukee has better sawzalls, bandsaws, compact impact wrenches, and circ saws. DeWalt has a miter saw, cordless nailers, drywall guns, that Milwaukee hasn't offered here yet. Drills are about on par with each other as are rotary hammers. Both make below average jigsaws.

Check out this Makita grease gun. It attaches to any rotating 1/4" hex driver.
Cheap and would be great for someone who only needs to grease occasionally (most of us).

Oh I know it doesn't matter too much on how many, but I am just interested in some numbers. There are countless other threads about benefits of different brands, I know cause I have looked. So if anyone has some info we haven't seen I think that is what I made this thread for.

You might just have to compile that information yourself.

Unless you are going to buy a bunch of them right away, then it probably doesn't matter.
All the major brands are competitive - Makita, Dewault, Milwaukee, Bosch - are creating new tools all the time, and in a few years they will come out with a new line that makes the current one obsolete.
Pick the one you like best and go with it. Personally I pick based on battery performance rather than tool performance, because ultimately the batteries are the most expensive part for me.

OP why not give both companies a call and ask them your question I am sure they would put you in touch with their R&D dept. and they could get the information to you. At the same time I am sure they would mail you out a copy of their current catalog that you could look over.
