    I was the same way about Apple products. Then I bought an iPhone 5S. Now I can't wait for the 7 to come out so I can snag one.

    Do the skinny jeans chaff?

        I used to bash apple products and then I stopped caring.  At some point I realized that for my purposes all phones do the same job as long as it's a high end phone.

          All of my friends with Apples tell me I am missing out and I absolutely need an Iphone, but I honestly haven't liked them any time I went to use them and my android phones have always worked perfectly for me.

            i've used iPhone, iPods, iPads, and Macbooks. All of them were better than competitors 10 YEARS AGO. Now they just release the same device a TINY bit faster and a TINY bit bigger and call it a new product. Other phone companies and computer companies have surpassed or equaled them now, so why pay the premium to get Apple?  oh, not to mention every app, song, program, etc you buy will make you stuck with apple forever, versus using Android or PC which those things can be used across hundreds or devices and dozens of manufacturers.

                So you are not in control of your own actions? 
                Buying a Milwaukee tool doesn't force you to hate everything else suddenly. It sounds like you are being a stuck up porter cable or makita owner suddenly.

                      I don't actually own any portercable products right now, and my only Makita is an old corded drill that I use if my batteries die.  Most of my stuff is Bosch or Hitachi.  People rarely love or hate them.

                      If I bought a Milwaukee I'd hate me, not everyone else.

                        No one has ever asked me what tools I have used to work on my car. I guess what my point is, is that if it gets me to the finished product I'm cool with it

                          My first wife saw my harbor freight impact gun and set my toolbox on fire.

                          She left me for a snap-on man

                            After relying on my tools in a professional capacity for so many years I have gathered nice and expensive tools but I've also learned where I can take shortcuts.  My socket's are a mix of duracraft, pittsburgh, craftsman and snap-on and the same can be said about my screw drivers and other items.  My go to wrenches are all Snap-on or Gearwrench and my go-to ratchet is a Snap-on.  I think for someone who just does this stuff at home there are some things worth spending money on such as cordless tools or air tools but they may not notice the difference between a fine tooth ratchet and cheap-o ratchet nor may they care about the difference.

                                        Who's being sensitive.  It's just like Ford/Chevy talk or Merc/BMW talk.  People have their opinions.  If you think this is sensitive, I feel bad.

                                          ^That is a good point. I've been raised on the tit of Chevrolet and have the mindset that most Fords suck. It's a shame that the Taurus backs that up lol
