Portable car tire inflator that's ideally cordless and has a dial/indicator to show tire pressure?
The Milwaukee Fuel one is wonderful.

Will I regret going all in on Craftsman v20 tools?
Yes. The Surge is a solution in search of a problem. Since this post I have bought a dozen more M12 tools, including the Surge. The Surge is the only Milwaukee tool that has disappointed me. It's so over hyped on the Milwaukee sub. It's promised to be a great impact driver that is quiet, and it's neither. The DeWalt hydraulic is leaps and bounds better than the Surge. The Rigid hydraulic is better too. Hopefully that gives Milwaukee the kick in the pants they need to update the Surge. The 3453 M12 Fuel Impact driver is the bees knees, best power tool Milwaukee makes. It is hands down better than the Ryobi brushless impact driver I have. It's lighter, smaller, more powerful, and built to a higher quality.

I’ve always been a Makita guy without knowing anything about the corporate side. My tools always just felt more solid and durable than coworkers’ Dewalt or Milwaukee. Then I saw this in r/construction.
The truth is, no power tool will work forever. It's about serviceability, warranty, build quality, durability, etc. Ridgid is great in this regard. They have schematics of most of their tools hosted online. It will show you every single part and screw on a tool, with part numbers for purchasing purposes. Decent warranty, too. Milwaukee also has schematics with part numbers and a decent warranty. Great quality and durability on the FUEL line of tools, be it M12 or M18. I'm sure there's other brands, but i typically use these 2.
