Which is the better cordless drill between Milwaukee M18 4.0AH brushless cordless combi drill and Dewalt DCD778M2T-SFGB 18V 4.0AH brushless cordless combi drill?

Milwaukee if I was buying myself
Those are the model that at the moment I am looking at:Milwaukee make several M18 brushless combi drills - as do all the big name brands - so it's difficult to compare without knowing which drill you have in mind. In general the more you pay, the better the drill - although there are plenty of people asking big money for entry level drills.
Probably the best way to answer this question would be to look at stats for each drill, paying particular attention to torque figure and gear/gearbox material. Respective manufacturer websites will likely be the most concise source of such information.
Very little between the two sets.Those are the model that at the moment I am looking at:
M18 CBLPD-402C (Milwaukee)
DCD778M2T-SFGB (Dewalt)
Controversial statement but imo Makita's battery stuff has been garbage for years now. The actual batteries on them are atrocious and their chucks like to fail. Would never buy again after being a Makita man for over 10 years. They're now in the same league as blue Bosch for me - overpriced rubbish riding on a name.Wait for a decent Makita deal ?

This!Of course not as these manufacturers are trying to cater to a market that runs from occasional DIYer to seasoned tradesman - if we consider ourselves part of the latter, we should be aware of the old caveat; 'you pays your money and takes your choice'.
Because specs and figures aren't relevant if the batteries don't hold charge and the chucks come loose etc.Much depends on the tool in question. Makita LXT drills range from the DHP453 with around 40Nm of torque and internals made from cheese, right up to the DHP486 with a wrist shattering 130Nm of torque and all metal gearing - how exactly do you manage to tar these two drills with the one brush?
DeWalt comes with 3 years.What warranty are they all offering ,.Bosch has 3
Rang them one day with a trigger problem, they sent a courier out to collect next day and he dropped it back again,zero work on my part
