I swear by Bosch for cordless tools although I always go for the blue (commercial use) rather than green (domestic use).
This goes back to when I was working at a fibreglass boat manufacturers (now long gone) and had lots of different makes of similar ages available.
Black and Decker lacked torque (would constantly jam up) and the battery lasted a couple of hours.
Makita had plenty of torque but (at the time) no variable speed and the batteries were dead within an hour
DeWalt & Makita seemed to have the torque, unfortunately more than their gearbox could withstand (every single one had stripped gears), I never found out how long the battery lasted as I never found a drill that still worked.
Bosch had the torque, keyless chucks (new at the time), variable speed and the batteries lasted almost a whole day
within a year every drill had been replaced with the bosch drills (which saved a lot of arguments over who got the decent drills today)
Since then I have always used them (more like abused them) and have only managed to seriously damage one, a small metal rod went in the vent for the motor and smashed the cooling fan (still works but I know it has cooked the motor as drills don't normally smoke), it's replacement is still working quite happily on the 12 year old batteries for the damaged one.
