Best European alternative to Milwaukee / DeWalt? (piefed.social)

I'm rebuilding my workshop. All my power tools are in a terrible state, so I'm basically going to buy new everything - cordless drills, angle grinder, jigsaw, belt sander... the lot.

So it makes sense to invest in one quality power-tool "ecosystem" to share batteries and chargers. But this time I will abstain from buying American for obvious reasons (so absolutely no Milwaukee or DeWalt) and I'd rather spend my money on European brands (so preferably no Makita or Ryobi).

I think I can't go wrong if I buy Bosch tools, but maybe other brands are better? I'll get tools mostly for metalworking, and I'll get some woodworking tools also, but the main focus will be metalworking, if that's a factor.

What's your preference?

This chart is US-centric though, you wonโ€™t find brands not available there. The main flag I have is the orange Ridgid brand under TTI that goes under AEG in Europe. I believe this chart is at least 2-3 years old. The channel ProToolReviews (I think) did a couple of videos and updates on these a while back.
