I have owned Makita for many years. It was a very sturdy tool from its introduction to the market years ago. My cordless drills have been indispensable and operated many years without problems. I've had to replace batteries once in about 20 yrs. I uses all these tools in my business in fact all my tools are blue. Many times I've had smoke rolling out and they just keep going.
The Milwaukee now is a fantastic breed of its own. It has many advantages power torque and great battery life. But for just around home you have to be a serious DIYer for the added cost.
