Definitely Makita , 2nd Bosch and Dewalt last option.
If you get the Makita, get the 18v brushless (blue one); it is heavy duty and lasts forever, even for contractors that use it every day - great tool.
Dewalt! Contractor for 29 years. Dewalt does not give me issues. Bought a Bosch cordless osculating cutter and the batteries were for Shit. Makita isn’t a bad brand either. Whatever you decide to buy will probably be decent enough as long as you don’t buy cheap.
Dewalt.
Makita all the way! 18v brushless is the best. So powerful! And even the biggest batteries only take 10-15 min to charge. They have different size 18v batteries too, so you can get a small thin one for small stuff, and keep a bigger one for the heavy duty stuff. The impact driver I use has three variable speeds, which is fantastic. I’m getting ready to buy their double 18v leaf blower to help clean out places that we can’t use gas-powered blowers. Reviews suggest that one has more power than many gas blowers. Hope that helps.
Makita is my preferred cordless tool.
I prefer Dewalt for every day construction site work. Makita as you get more specific with the construction trades and Bosch if you’re an electrical contractor.
