The word is how much do you want to spend?
There’s no massive difference between the brands (despite what anyone wants to argue about).

I went with Milwaukee for the small stuff and spent lot more than necessary but they seem to be very robust. If I deem the chargable Milwaukee version too expensive (this is more the case with the 'construction' stuff they sell I guess), I tend to get the cheap mains powered stuff from amazon or any tool dealer (I found out there are lots of online tool dealers with various campaigns going on all the time, they also sell on eB**).
RYOBI looks nice and seems to have a good spread on the budget end but I've never even held one. Aldi/Lidl has some offerings but if you need a specific tool (and you've built up the brand-specific battery stock over time) and the tool is out of stock then chances are you're not going to find it anywhere.

Also if you use the screwfix app there are plenty of discounts after the first order (10% off, £35 off £100, £15 off £50, £5 off £30, and such) it also enables no-interaction collections you just check-in on the app and do a 'sup to the collection person.

I got DeWalt. Partly as they seem to have good deals, partly as they have a decent range of other stuff at not too expensive and partly as I like the yellow.

I didn't get an impact driver at the time and regretted it and ended up buying one separately (you can get them for £40-£50).

Powertoolmate is another one to look at for deals. Quite a lot of these businesses also sell on eBay and often there are 15% off deals on eBay.

I love my dewalt brushless drill and planned to stick with them for all new tools but recently needed a jigsaw and made the snap decision to switch to ryobi - cheaper and they have a big range. Now running a circular saw, jigsaw and cordless hoover. Totally fine for diy use.
