I have several of the M12 tools and some 18V. Last fall I put up a tin ceiling in the shop. I used the M impact driver to put in the screws while the other guy used an 18V tool. It seemed that we both needed recharging at about the same time. His was a little faster but lifting that heavier tool up to the ceiling was more work, the lighter M12 was much easier to use.

No milwaukee cordless tools. I have a 20+ year old milwaukee 120v right angle drill. Never had first problem with the exception it wants to break my wrist with the torque it has.

I'm a fan of 18v dewalts. Have about every dewalt tool made. Oldest is about 15 years old. Never had a problem with any of them. Love my tools even better after I found after market NiMH batteries on ebay. Way better than Dewalt li-ion batteries. I'll never buy another XRP. Can't live without my 1/4 and 1/2 inch impacts.

I was told that the Milwakee is name only. Could only guess where they are made. My guess is dewalts are made in the same place too.
