See i think there certainly is but I also think that they have got you by the balls when it comes to cordless stuff, being able to buy them battery less saves money but once your on the system you cant really change. the amount of shite milwaukee make that i see folk buy is wild and the prices are cheap either for the cases and all that nonsense.

I think there are various ‘Makita’ ranges. I bought a Makita drill from
b and q ages ago - I wasn’t impressed with it at all. I’m pretty sure someone here mentioned that b and q were using the Makita name on drills with ‘cheaper’ internals. The guy who fitted our kitchen has a Makita drill which was brilliant - very small and very powerful and very expensive. It was nothing like the drill I had bought.

There’s a weird brand loyalty around power tools.
Some is justifiable (Festo do make nice but pricey kit) but most of it is marketing woo, the effect of which we’re unaware.
I’ve always used Makita - I can’t really justify or explain it. Probably based on their reputation from 30 years ago when I started buying power tools.
First drill I bought was this bad boy, it’s still going strong, no fancy electronics, it’ll break your wrist if the bit jams.
It’s almost a synesthesia thing, I feel they have a personality.
Sad.
