I've had these makita 12 v for 2 years, still going strong on original batteries with everyday use. compared to my workmates' milwaukee and bosch, they feel the lightest and most balanced. i do envy the milwaukee battery meter, but overall am very happy with the makita 12v combo set for drilling and driving.
For 18v, I've had this Dewalt XRP 18v for at least 6 years. It's heavy, so i don't use it nearly as often as the 12's, but it gets used often enough on the more demanding jobs like hammer drilling or large diameter bits.
Regarding corded drills, I typically only use them for the heaviest jobs like mixing concrete and grout. Otherwise, they're either way overpowered or just uncomfortable
