After using a drill for 6 years, and reading about people's preferences, I think there is one factor that makes more difference than the brand of drill: Battery capacity.
Because of the ways batteries are made ( you put cells in series to get up to the voltage you need, then start putting sets in parallel to increase capacity) bigger batteries have more parallel cells than smaller.
The obvious effect is that you store more energy, but the side effect is that the battery can produce more current if needed. If you need the max the drill can provide, which you do to drill holes, the battery needs to supply that.
At home, with a full charge, in the warm, when new, all the batteries work fine.
As they get older, they lose performance
As they discharge, some loss
When they are cold (with is out biggest problem) they can lose a lot.
I have 7 year old 3 AH batteries, and was having problems with cutouts, running out of juice,... when cold
Bought a 9AH battery, and all problems have gone away.
My new theory: Buy whatever color drill you want, but don't overlook the battery you buy for use in cold conditions. If your drill is not performing as it used to, try a new battery before you blame the drill.
