I am a contractor, and at any one time I probably have 6 to 8 cordless drills in circulation. I've used about all brands including Milwaukee and Dewalt, but anymore Makita is my preferred brand....I've just had good luck with them. I'm still a little sore at Milwaukee when a few years back they updated their batteries and charger systems so batteries weren't readily interchangeable between their old and new tools. I still have a few Milwaukee power tools, but anything with a battery I go with Mikita.
