What brand power tools (battery) you are happy with ?

[Atanas]

I have been using DEWALT for the past six years. However, I have had to replace my impact and combi drills for the past two years, and the combi started falling again. I also broke one hammer drill. Therefore, I am looking for something more reliable. What is your experience with those tools, and which brand would you recommend?
Thanks

Never broken a Bosch blue battery tool, and corded tools have only failed after years of abuse. Gearbox in the case of drills and tool holder for SDS.
Once bought corded drill and SDS from DeWalt. Both were broken beyond repair inside eighteen months.

I have had many years of tough service from dewalt. 10 years is the shortest life, apart from the drill that was stolen

I’ve had a dewalt combi, and SDS since I started self employed in 2017. Have just replaced the sds as the rotary stop function had failed.
Too much chasing out in recent months.

Will still work as a drill, but bought a replacement anyway. .

Also got dewalt mini grinder, multi tool and jigsaw on the same battery

I've had good experience with Dewalt.
I've been unkind to my Dewalt gear for many years without issue.

Panasonic was the best I've ever had, but my god the batteries are expensive - when they needed replacement it made more sense to dump the lot for new tools. I had dewalt before that but the early lithium batteries were pants, although I think many brands had that trouble.

Milwaukee these days, mostly good but the chucks are made of cheese. I think most of 'em are much of a muchness, if I had to buy again I'd probably stick with Mil; Panasonic would still tempt me but the Mil range is so big, i've probably got 20+ tools.
