Howdy,
I bit the bullet a year or two ago, coming from old Milwaukee 18v Nicad
stuff. In addition to batteries dying, the thing that convinced me was
just how good the 12v Bosch screwdriver I bought was when I wanted
something super small for electrical work. Turned out that the modern 12v
lithium stuff has as much power as the old 18+ nicad stuff, weighs half as
much, and is smaller in all good ways.
A couple years later... I have both 12v and 18v Milwaukee. To me, the only
downside of Milwaukee is price. In every other way they're better or at
absolute worst equal to the other brands. Performance, tool selection,
ergos, etc.
My recommendation for a drill/driver would absolutely be one of the 12v
Fuel brushless Milwaukees. After that, my recommendation would be any 12v
brushless brand that has reasonable reviews and you like the feel of it
when you pick it up.
Battery stuff these days is amazing. I basically never use corded or air
powered handtools any more.
