Thanks for that. Milwaukee wins again but I have to be realistic with price hence my DeWalt purchase. DIY vs professional. Saying that bits may cost a little extra and that won’t break the bank - the difference in price between the tools has to make a difference to me and flexibility with batteries swayed my decision.

DIY vs professional.
Personally, I'm cautiously sceptical about the usefulness of professional tradespeople's opinions on tools for DIY. Especially on YT.
Not that I think they're totally without merit, but having laboured on resi building sites, for the most part there is a lot that just isn't applicable to DIY imo.
Tools are used for a tiny fraction of the time, there is basically no time/money relationship, you don't need to worry about weight, you have the time to take greater care to prolong life, etc. etc. My dad's corded B&D is still working* what must be 30-35yrs later.
*albeit with only one torque setting now
