[QUOTE="raider, post: 318504, member: 353"] i've been running makita from the old 9.6 stick days, then on to the 14.4's, now the 18 volts since they came out... i used them hard in construction every day for years... still have about 4 or 5 of the 3 amp hour batteries working after about 10 years... i've never gotten less than 7 years out of a battery with heavy use... have dropped 2 different impact drivers off 18' sidewalls onto concrete when hanging trusses on a steel building... picked them up and went back to work and they work great to this day... the only thing i've had wear out is an 18 volt vacuum that was really abused... they don't have the same presence in the stores because they don't buy shelf space like the yellow and red guys... i am a corded yellow saw guy though... have 10 and 12" compound mitre saws and they are hard to beat...
