I have some of all three types. There is no perfect tool for every job. Interesting thing I have learned though. As the batteries get better and better, the tools they work with are cheaper and cheaper. Especially the keyless chucks on cordless drills regardless of brand. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Snap-On doesn't matter. They are all crap and all slip. Brushless motor failure is also becoming common on the cordless stuff. The idea of buying a "lifetime tool" with any of the cordless stuff is a foreign concept. I looked into replacing the crap keyless chucks and they cost more than the entire drill. BTW, there are on-line sites that will rebuild the battery packs on most older cordless tools. I have had a few Snap-On 14.4V batteries rebuilt. They work fine now. MTO Batteries is one vendor I recommend. I have a very hard time throwing Snap-On tools in the trash.
