Speed -O.K.
The next question is the battery system ,not the tool.
Once you buy ,you are 'stuck' with that system for other cordless tools. In my case I have multiple trades so I needed a brand with one affordable battery system(" One+")and a huge variety of O.K. tools. I do not need the fancy German tools - they get stolen and break just as easily when dropped. So I bought Ryobi 18v . Batteries are cheap and in multiple capacities of the same Voltage.Chargers are interchangeable.Easy to get more tools/batteries anywhere.
I also have Ridgid, Makita and even a bunch of Black & Decker.All duds by comparison. But Ryobi struck the right balance of selection and economy for me. No, they are not the absolute best but well up to my skill level & wallet.My favorite is a right angle drill/driver 18v with light P241
