Best tool ecosystem?

Right now I'm semi invested in Milwaukee electric tools. I have the m18 fuel variant. But i only have a few and they are 5 years old.

I bought a house and will be needing more tools soon as I am a DIY type of guy. So I need to figure out what brand/ecosystem I'm going to jump into.

Milwaukee worked okay.
I didn't like that my 3/8" impact lost noticeable power after 2 years casual track use, can't imagine a professional using it daily. It wouldn't undo my 80ft/lb lugs anymore.
Other complaint was the battery is held together with tiny screws through plastic. One of them broke. I never dropped it but the tool is kind of heavy so just putting it down is rough in it.

I don't knock Milwaukee, I'm sure many tools have these type of nuance which is why I'm asking before I go spend a few thousand dollars in the next year or two.
