I have a whole fleet of these M12 tools including 2 sawzalls, 2 impact drivers, and 2 regular drills. the impact driver and sawzall both quit under a year, so they are going back. Battery life is terrible compared to an 18V makita. Both the sawzall and impact driver quit for no reason - Not really impressed.
@mikey0himself I have the dewalt 12v max and it seems pretty awesome so far. Haven't had it long enough to tell if the inside quality is good or not. The outside quality is outstanding. I drove some 3/8 x 3 inch lag bolts into pine with no pre-drilled holes and the impact had power to spare. Hope they don't break down in a year and need returning. Have you got any of the red lithium batteries and are they lasting longer? I'm thinking of getting some m12 stuff but undecided.
@skjoyner The Dewalt 12V Max is rock solid. Great tools. We have been working with the new red Lithiums and they have been running longer and holding up a lot better than the old batteries.
milwaukee is good for the garbage ,i had broken 18v 28v and 12 volt batteries also the tools themselves broke few times ,these milwaukee tools are for the hobbyman at home
Ive had a lot of problems with the Milwaukee M12 Screwdriver, im on the fifth new battery with it and it is only 7 months old. this is my first Milwaukee tool(besides the indestructible sawzall) and it may be the last. if anyone else is having this problem i would like to know,great review

@dewalt23293 Batteries, did you send them back to Milaukee for new ones? These tools are completely useless without the batteries.
