I've used my Makita impact driver so much that the quick change head is a little sloppy but I still prefer it over the new Ryobi.
A new Makita is on my fathers day list for this year. The kids are always asking me what I want.
I'm going to build a new deck with a screened in porch in the fall. That Ryobi just won't do.
I'm still old school and prefer corded tools but there are benefits to cordless when you're far away from an outlet, like down at the docks.
My corded tools are all Milwaukee and I've had them for 25 years and still work like new.
