Makitas are ok, they basically created the cordless drill, but do seem to lag behind a bit now especially when it comes to battery life. I have had some experience with the Ridgid brand, but they are heavy, lower top rpm, and again short battery life. They are sturdy for working all day, but you'll need three batteries and a two place charger to make it work right.
x2 i own the milwaukee m18 kit, and a whole handfull of 12v pieces. almost oll of my corded tools are milwaukee as well. dewalt and ridgid are both equally junk imo.

impact drivers are awesome for driving self tappers as they spin them so fast. you see alot of tin knockers using them. also awesome for driving long screws into wood. if you do buy one, buy a set of milwaukee shockwave bits. they stand up a whole lot better.
