So I am invested in the Makita line. For a drill I have their top of the range XPH07Z 18v brushless hammer drill. It's a beast and could probably break your wrist if you aren't careful. The only downside is it's heavy especially with 5amp batteries.
I watch a lot of Youtube repair guys in different fields. The majority use Milwaukee. Second is probably Dewalt. Many of them are using the smaller 12v Fuel Milwaukee drill/driver. I realized for most of what I do that would actually be perfect but I don't want tot get into a whole new line of batts and chargers.
Makita much to my surprise had a guy like me in mind. They have smaller 12v sized tools they call sub compact but in the 18v line. If you get the kit it comes with 2amp batts which are smaller and lighter than the 5amps. The sub line will take 5amps and the chargers are the same. In other words it's all interchangeable.
The kit comes with a quick charger, bag, two 2 amp batts the drill/driver and impact gun. It's the CX200RB.
It will be here today and I'm looking forward to it. I also like that it comes in a bag vs the hard case I have with my other set. i could put other tools in it should i need to take it somewhere.
