    how much work do you do that requires both fluently without having one battery for the two? convenience comes at a price eventually

    Ha. Funnily I have literally just come up from re hanging the lockup roller door runners. I was swapping between drill and impact driver occasionally and the sabresaw which has shared battery. Swapping that back and forwards became tedious.

    When I hung clearlite under the deck I needed the drill and impact (yes I know about the screws, cheaper stuff needs drilling) if I was swapping batteries I'd still be there.

    Sadly through mismanagement and chance I have ended up with 5 lithium systems.

    So - thoughts?
    Oddly, I was quite surprised with Ryobi a few years back. A cordless drill worked really well and the battery lasted for ages.

    Otoh: the Ozito is nastily cheap, but can be abused like a cheap whore and then return it for a replacement one when it craps out.

    The other benefit with either brand is that nobody will steal them!

    A good mate who runs his own building business, replaced all his makita tools with Milwaukee. Swears he wouldn't go back.

    They would have no idea of brand specs of power tools
