Traditionally, the Dewalt 18V was always the best bang for the buck with quality batteries available @ 2 for $100 and lots of rugged tools priced super competitivly. This is what I stocked the job trailer and shop with. My truck is loaded with Makita LXT. At the rate batteries and impact pact drivers disappeared, I wasn’t going to pony up for the more expensive LXT Lion batteries and Japanese manufactured brushless tools.
