What’s your favorite color?  That brand will be fine.  Battery tools are all pretty good, as are batteries  Unless you have a specialized use, any main brand is great, so pick based on what ever makes sense to you. What is on sale, what your friends use (or don’t use), what your favorite store sells, it’s hard to go wrong.  


I have a Milwaukee, because I have a lot of other tools. It is at least as good as the 2135ti I had many years ago. (I don’t have a compressor good enough for an impact these days. ).
