I'm a professional carpenter and general contractor, and from my personal experience and the anecdotal evidence from the guys I regularly see, Bosch is of the best you can get for cordless tools nowadays. DeWalt used to be the go-to, but their quality has dropped considerably over the last 5-10 years. They still have some decent products, but I know of a lot of people who have had major issues with their drill chucks being off center.
This said, you kind of need a grab bag to get the best of each tool.
Here's my current setup, which is the same as quite a few contractors I work with:
So there you go. Those are the ones that have gone through the ringer on a construction crew and have survived heavy abuse and regular moving/dropping without any signs of letting go. Some may be overkill for your situation, but they're what I've found to be best. I'm probably missing a few loose ends so look out for edits.
you could upgrade your sander to a decent ROS
Then get the 50 packs of paper 80,150,220 grits. The paper will put you over $100 but will be well worth it. If you've only got a crappy sheet sander, upgrading to this will make a world of difference.
