Dewalt, Milwaukee, and makita generally work the same. I find dewalts to be a little more resistant to being dropped from heights. Most companies I’ve worked for tend to use Dewalt or Milwaukee, not sure why Makita gets the shaft.
People generally buy one set with batteries and then that’s what they always buy because batteries are so expensive for their personal tools.
Also if you’re looking at Rigid or Mastercraft or some other cheaper brand don’t do it for battery powered tools. Their plug in tools tend to be okay if you’re just using it for personal use but the batteries those companies produce are garbage and not worth the savings.
I own a contracting company and we have one set of rigid battery powered tools. They do not hold a charge anywhere near as long as our dewalts at the same size, do not charge anywhere near as fast, and do not have the longevity of the dewalts. We’ve slowly been phasing them out. Could be that ours are duds but I’ve heard similar things from other people.
