I've been looking at Makita for my next tool swap out, and they are looking good, albeit expensive. I have a ton of Milwaukee Fuel both 12v and 18v with no major concerns, except the placement of revere switch being right under my thumb/finger which is annoying, but other than that the tools and batteries have been stellar. I usually go three for four years and make a big swap if i'm wanting something different, and Makita is on my short list. I use my cordless tools every day in HVAC work and they sure get some hard use, so it's not just driving a screw now and then, it's a lot of cutting, drilling, driving and they have to be solid performers or they're gone quick.
