FAQ for general contracting pros.
How deep should my cordless lineup go?+
For a full-time GC, aim for: drill, impact, 7-1/4" circ saw, reciprocating saw, oscillating, compact impact wrench, jigsaw, sanders. That's 8-10 tools. Budget around $2,000-$3,000 to get there on one platform.
One platform or two?+
One. Adding a second platform effectively doubles your battery cost. Pick M18 FUEL or 20V MAX XR based on what your team already owns, then stay on it.
What measuring tools are non-negotiable?+
25' tape, 6' level, 4' level, speed square, chalk line, self-leveling laser level, angle finder. A rotary laser (cross-line) is where most GCs upgrade next.
