I have the DeWalt 20 volt Max with brushless motors in several tools; drill/driver, impact wrench, and just got a string trimmer this year. What I am most impressed with, after the proper operation of each tool, is the length of time the battery lasts AND holds it's charge. I have done multiday projects with the drill/driver, drilling and driving screws, on ONE charge and STILL had 2 out of 3 bars left on the battery. Just sitting on the shelf, the battery holds 3 bars for over 6 months. With older rechargeable batteries, after sitting on the shelf for a couple months, I would have to charge the battery again before starting a job. That never happens with the DeWalt. I am considering a work light for power outages, a circular saw, maybe a hedge trimmer and chain saw, maybe a blower and a sander.
