Makita is the best IMO. I've got an 18V impact driver that's about 7 years old now and still on the same battery. It's light, compact, holds a charge a long time, and powerful. You really don't realize the difference until you use something else.
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.
