    On the flip side, if you are like me and hate not having the right tool for the job, it doesn't hurt to spend more for more right now.  More money, yes, but also more power, more features, and often more run time or watt-hours.  Ryobi, Porter Cable, and other DIY brands top out at 4 Ah batteries, while DeWalt and Milwaukee both offer 9 Ah options.

     

    But there's nothing stopping the OP from buying the tool for the job as it comes up. And how often is a 4Ah battery kit going come up short for a DIY homeowner?!?!

     

    I'm just reminding the OP that the DIY segment exists for a reason. Or maybe not even DIY, but maybe the cheaper, brushed variants from a trade brand...

     It's just for home use, but I want something that will be good for the next 10 years at least

     

    Why do you need the best of the best for home use? Sorry but I just dont get it. You'll have huge $$$ sitting in your shed. Much better off buying only what you need, when you need it. And why not try a DIY brand? If you spend $800 now and then $800 again in 6-7 years, you'll have much better tools at the end of your 10 years than spending $1600 now.
