I bought a Ryobi 18V impact driver and drill combo kit and it sucks. It's everything that the Makita isn't. Heavy, bulky, battery runs down quickly, and no where near as powerful.
I should have returned it but I keep it in my truck for emergency purposed.
I've never had Hitachi but my electrician friend swears by them.
Exactly, Makita 18V is the best and I also have had them for @8 years and they still work great. I also bought the Ryobi combo for my grandson to help me out on a project and they really, really, really suck!! As you said the battery runs down very quickly, especially the circular saw..JUNK!
