I have this dewalt pair, since February 2017, have a spark and apprentice working with me, so get plenty of use and still going strong, also have the 273 model sds, again no issues, bought at same time.
Also dewalt comes with a 3yr warranty too.
Mate has the M18 and it feels alot heavier than...
Always use glands with them and either strip connectors or wagos depending on how many I've to terminate inside.
Never use the connectors inside, although the brass part can be used as a nut for some outside lights if you drop and lose it lol just touch up with a black marker.
